[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 1067701, member: 59283"] Sites working better on Chromium could absolutely be a factor, but ultimately it's speculative. What I'd love to see is actual data from a poll or survey about the [I]exact[/I] reasons why former Firefox users stopped using the browser. [USER=92976]@cofer123[/USER] I've heard the same thing from other Firefox users too, that at some point they started emulating Chrome over doing their own thing. Another thing I hear brought up semi-regularly is Mozilla's removal of XUL extensions, which many people still seem bitter about. [USER=61084]@brambedkar59[/USER] It does to me too. I get that they like and want to promote Firefox, and I get that they want to see Firefox's market share increase, but the [I]level[/I] of fanaticism does seem pretty ridiculous at times I should mention that I too use Firefox, just not as my primary browser. It's overall slower than Chrome, and I don't want to have to deal with any potential site incompatabilities in my day-to-day. [/QUOTE]
