The days of Firefox are over. Every site I work on has less than a few percent of Firefox users. We don't even test with Firefox, because fuck 'em - I never liked the way Mozilla did anything anyway and their painfully obviously false, preachy holier-than-thou brainwashing campaign that they're constantly running in order to keep getting daddy Google's money has always been annoying.
I'd rather use MS Edge. It's actually even faster and lighter than Chrome. So, I've already started using it on my Windows and Mac machines and I'm just waiting for it to be released on Linux so I can use it on my main workstations.
I bet Edge exceeds Firefox market share any day now. Maybe Google should start giving Microsoft money too! But even if Edge market share doesn't grow I'll be quite comfortable since it's the WebKit/Chrome/Blink lineage and compatibility that I care about.
Fuck that piece of shit Gecko. I'm tired of hearing about it from the extremely tiny but loud minority of Mozillatroids. Now do your duty and fade my comment in your petty attempt at censoring my words. You can't change the truth.
I think Mozilla is a horrible leadership spending money on all the wrong things and I'd rather lose my job than donate to them. But, in all fairness, they're still way better than both Microsoft and Google. At least Mozilla isn't actively trying to make my life worse every single day.
Wow, you seem very upset. I suggest going for a walk. Take a couple deep breaths. Calm down. It's just a browser.
By the way, what sites do you work on? I'd like to make sure to avoid them.
Please don't respond to a bad comment with another one. That just makes the thread worse. Doubly so for personal attacks, which are a bannable offence on HN.
What was so bad about my comment? Saying that I don’t support Mozilla/Firefox or just not being anti-Google enough?
Also, the guy that you’re responding to simply said that I seemed angry. How is that a personal attack? Somebody else responded that I’m ruining the Internet and somehow that’s not flagged?

I enjoy ranting against Mozvillains though :) They're not a browser, they're just very annoying preachy people who need to be refuted and since I have no problem doing it, I feel that I am doing God's work.

You are the types of people who are slowly destroying the internet, nice work.
Incorrect. Mozilla is responsible for their shitty market share, not me.
I don't test with the Opera, QQ, Yandex or Sogou Explorer browsers either - just to name a few other tiny niche browsers... Do you??
