    Perfect timing, I've fully switched to Firefox over the last month or so.

    I used Firefox for 5 years until I met my husband, who pointed out how much time I waste dealing with Firefox rendering bugs and freezing and how much it aggravates him. After the 15th time I switched to Chrome and it's helped my relationship grow. But I use uBlock Origin religiously so it's time to go hunting again...

    I’ll have you know IE6 is known to have caused numerous divorces.

    Every browser has critical bugs. It's more important how fast they can be patched. And CVE scores are often exaggerated.

    Immediately moved to Firefox after "ad topics" were introduced.

    They are trying to introduce something similar in Firefox too:

    Swiching from chrome to firefox at work, this was the final straw. Internet/youtube etc is almost unusable without uBlock origin. Glad I already use FF privately.
