[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 848717"] because since decades people started computing with Windows on their machines, i have both Windows and Linux on different machines, if it wasn't for MS Office or some computer manufacturers making drivers only for Windows, i will be fully on Linux or Chrome OS which is the most secure for casual uses (means no gaming, no editing, etc...). Look at MacOS or Linux users, ask them to go back Windows, they won't or they will reluctantly because they are used to the security and stability those OSes offers. Windows now is more adequate for gaming or offices machines, Average Joe is better with Chrome OS or a tablet, geeks are better with Linux, graphists and designers are already on MacOS. Not true, FF was and still is for everyone, now if they don't advertise themselves it is their choice. It is not because some users are geeks and tweak FF, that in suddenly it becomes a browser for nerds. Your argument comparing a tweaked FF with a out-of-the-box Chrome is wrong; you don't compare a tuned car with a factory one. If you can Tweak FF for security so do i with Chrome, i can set additional security tweaks like Appcontainer (unavailable in FF) using Chrome's Flags, so tweaked Chrome will still be way more secure than tweaked FF. Indeed, most hackers/pentesters will always put more efforts to break Chrome and report their findings to Google because they will get paid handsomely instead risking being sued if they sell the exploit in the darknet. Except the privacy part (which is overrated to me, even FF tried to [B]collect and share [/B]datas but went under a deluge of criticism) , i don't see what FF afford more than Chrome, in the past it was heavy customizations but now FF is more like Chrome than anything else. Years ago, i shifted to Chrome from FF because FF was tremendously lacking in security but i tried it again when they implemented their sandbox, but i found nothing really appealing, it was even less customizable than before and looks like a Chrome's clone (too many similarities with the design and features) . Even now im testing FF to see the changes (especially those recents announced ones) but honestly the differences are minimal, not like before when FF could be totally distinguishable from Chrome at first sight. I lost faith on FF long ago but im still open, after all it was my first browser. [/QUOTE]
