I have never understood the appeal of Chrome. The only thing it ever had going for it was being faster then Firefox, in a matter of milliseconds. And yet now it eclipses Firefox in usage.

It also crashes less. And does a good job keeping each tab on a separate CPU core. But it became increasingly invasive to the point I abandoned it.

    Palemoon is good if you like to use firefox as it used to be, open source fork of firefox

    Choice of a decent browser gets smaller every day. Chrome is google, and mozilla has been infested with SJWs - but firefox has been getting more and more bloated and done some questionable things lately like installing an extension or something without informing users.. Brave is a good chrome alternative I suppose, but I've settled on palemoon (fork of firefox with far less bloat).
