If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

My biggest concern with Firefox is that Google continues to make people's life hard. There have already been instances of things loading slowly because of crippled standards that only work on Chrome, or features like in-page translate only being available in Chromium based browsers.

Overall I've really enjoyed using it for the past 15 years or so, but it's definitely had periods of very rocky performance

The biggest example of this is YouTube. Sometimes it runs fine but sometimes videos just don't load or freeze.
