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.

Everytime Firefox updates I have to restart the entire browser or it won't let me open a new tab. This has been going on for years. As a dev, I can't dynamically edit source during runtime ever since the Quantum update. It's noticeably slower these days, which is especialy bad on mobile/laptops due to battery life. If you're on Windows, you don't get video super sampling (NVIDIA) or HDR videos.

I wouldn't call it a buggy mess that crashes frequently, but it's certainly constantly getting on my nerves.

Shouldn't you have to restart the browser when it updates? Isn't that normal? That's how Chrome works? Or do you mean it doesn't save your browser tabs for whenever you opens, or?

The no-hdr videos might be a deal breaker for me on PC.... I watch a lot of videos. Thanks for mentioning this.
