good stuff, glad to see this opposition.
Also slightly related, but I'd absolutely hate if I were an employee having to work on this project and having my name attached to this. Quite embarrassing for all those involved.

welp, who isnt on firefox might want to start using it now.
It's a little slower and a little more broken and a little less compatible, but its not google's.
Firefox Has Outperformed Chrome In Speed For The Very First Time
It's not slower, and the rare incompatibilities can be solved by changing the user agent, which shows it's artificial.
try not to ruin the user experience to make more money challenge (impossible)
They fight an uphill battle because lazy web devs optimize for Chrome and Firefox is a 2nd class citizen, but they do rock the last couple of years.
Sometimes changing just the user agent isn't enough FWIW.
In my experience, Firefox is as fast as Chromium and extremely stable. What are the extensions you are using? Perhaps one of them is causing the instability you're mentioning.
never thought of that, let me try...
in my personal experience, instability with firefox has rarely been an issue with firefox, and more to do with something else in my system going wrong. Like bad ram, for one example.
