I used to use Firefox before Chrome, and it was working great. Then at some point Firefox just started sucking and so I ended up switching to Chrome.

Around the same time I stopped using hotmail in favor of gmail as well

 

Now, probably almost 20 years later I'm back at Firefox

I haven't escaped gmail yet though

I used chrome for a long time. It's just the browser I downloaded when I was a kid, and realized there were options other than Internet Explorer. I used it for years, just because I couldn't be arsed to switch.

It was this Web API shit that made me finally bite the bullet and switch. Honestly, after some tinkering and researching plugins I barely notice the change. Should've switched years ago.

I started using Firefox after Opera changed to being Chromium-based about 10 years ago. (RIP) Fortunately Firefox is a lot better than it used to be so it's not so bad.

Oddly enough I got a lot of unprompted flack from my colleagues about using non-Chrome browsers. It boggles my mind how much people are really attached to Chrome.
