Well, that and Firefox sucks coupled with their constant “major release every Tuesday” cycle breaking plug-ins (the best feature of Firefox in the first place).
The change in update frequency wasn’t a good move and could not have helped. They are about as bad as Adobe in that department. Looks like we are somewhere in the 30s for version number these days.
The last Mac I had was a model LC475, when AOL kept ‘new versioning’ every two months, until I couldn’t afford to put any more RAM in the machine.
I stopped using IE at version 6.
I’ve been a Firefox user for a long time, and have used ‘adblock’ add-ons, UNTIL, the ‘adblock’ program started blocking my Live365 Internet radio homepage!
I have never liked Google anything, since their inception, years ago.
But, Safari? really?
I stopped using it since they fired their CEO for donating money to stop the gay agenda. I normally want more competition, but what’s the point if they are as fascist as Google and the rest of them?
Pale Moon works for me, and they have not fired their CEO for thoughtcrime.

Piss off Conservatives and they pull their support.
I like Firefox, but when they fired the CEO because of the lavender mafia, I quit using it. I ended up switching to an old favorite, Opera. I will not ever use Google anything, I value whatever illusion of privacy I have left and chrome data mines hard.
I use Opera now, but I always seem to have some problems when I go to Youtube.
Too many freezes, crashes, and security problems caused by buggy plug-ins.
firefox is the ‘big fag’ of the browser game
just ask Brendan Eich
may they go the way of jcpenny
I use Pale Moon now, which is like Firefox, as it seems the latest versions of FF broke some extensions from working well, and extensions (as TabMixPlus, Colorful Tabs, Session Manager, is what makes Firefox superior to Chrome (which hype is the main cause for the loss of FF), Opera, and esp. IE.
With Tab Mix Plus i can, among other things, reduce tab width and choose multiple rows, so i can get about 25 tabs across, and with Session Manager i can save multiple sessions, and choose which one to load. And Colorful Tabs is very helpful. Below are more.
Also BBCodeXtra enables you to add scripts which make posting in html here as easy as copy and pasting. Ask for details.
However, the forced ouster of Mozilla co-founder and CEO Brendan Eich this last week was a cowardly yielding to pro-sodomite intimidation by those who are utterly intolerant of any expression that opposes their demand for special rights for their immoral wrongs. Bad code.

Chromium is the open-source version of Chrome, and has no ties to Google. It doesn’t spy on you.
Meanwhile, the mobile browser increase is remarkable:

A great part of its unpopularity is the Rapid Release insanity. Whoever came up with that should have been fired by version 17.
I have been using Pale Moon (32-bit) on my laptop. The 32-bit seems to accept most of my Firefox extensions/add-ons. The 64-bit version has compatibility problems with some extensions.
My Firefox is still at version 15 because that was the last version that seemed to work with Adobe PDF, Adobe Flash, many extensions/add-ons, etc.
Firefox was so busy with their rapid release that they forgot the needs of their client base.
Firefox at least allows you to click back and resume typing text. IE typing pages go blank.
Firefox isn’t just falling behind in market share; it’s also trailing technologically. In Chrome(ium), every tab you have open is essentially stuck in its own little container, so if it crashes, the rest of your tabs aren’t affected. Firefox doesn’t do this. Firefox doesn’t do a lot of things that a modern browser needs to do.
And yes, Mozilla is another hypocritical leftist organization for firing Brendan Eich - although, to be fair, Brendan didn’t stand up for himself when he was targeted. If you keep silent when the left accuses you, it’s as if you’re accepting what they say.
It’s still good to use a Firefox-based browser because Firefox extensions are much, much better for privacy than anything you’ll find on Chrome(ium). NoScript, Adblock Edge, and Self-Destructing Cookies: those three can make a world of difference in your browsing experience.
But for those of you who think that Firefox and its derivatives have no ties to Google, think again. Open the cookie management section of your browser and look for a cookie from Google called “PREF.” Delete it, close Firefox, immediately re-check your cookie list, and you’ll see that it’s there again.
You know those “Safe Browsing” features that Firefox has? They’re tied to Google. In exchange for Google providing you access to a list of “bad” sites, Firefox installs a Google tracking cookie that cannot be removed unless you literally scrub every trace of Safe Browsing from Firefox in about:config.
Besides being yet another Google-centric invasion of privacy, Google’s PREF cookie is known to be used by the NSA in tracking its targets.
Still, once you scrub PREF and install some of those privacy addons I mentioned, you’ve got a very secure browser.
We are in a mess for browsers as well as many other things.
Firefox... quit that for good after the CEO fiasco and before that it was so unstable and unfriendly it was almost useless.
Chrome... Google, yech, and it insists on accessing your password keychain
Safari... well, it now also insists on accessing the password keychain and in spite of claims you can turn this off I have not been able to. Safari is poorly featured and crashes quite a lot but by process of elimination it is all I have left.
For Mac... what else is there?
