Are they...issues?

Like, I frankly couldn't care less if Chrome is capable of running some funky JS that is mainly used on sites that I don't visit a bit faster, or is capable of rendering some css animation that I would honestly prefer died in a fire a bit faster.

They aren't if the goal is having a Firefox useful to you.

They are, if the goal is to figure out why Firefox market share has plummeted. People do care about `funky` websites being faster.

The modern web has immensely useful software which a good fraction of web users depend on that are rendered unusable on Firefox once in a while.

  • I don't disagree, I'm just trying to address the incredulity that perhaps for some people, Firefox might not have problems, or (gasp!) for some, Chrome might be the one with problems.

    • I'd argue that the market share reflects the ratio of these two `some`s.

      Unfortunately the party with the deeper pocket tends to win in these cases as long as they care to.
