Sad news. Firefox is my favorite browser, and I like their Dev tools the best.

All the important stuff done in a browser should not be trusted to one that is closed source. (I know chromium is open source, but almost no one is using it).

A good balance of browsers is important, I've already seen "you must use chrome to view this site."



User agent switcher will get you around that. It worked when Netflix was blocking FF and hasn't failed me yet.


> User agent switcher will get you around that

I wonder how many FF users roll with a user agent that identifies as chrome or some other browser, and how much (if even significantly) it affects surveys like the one in this article.


I wonder that too. I used to have it always on and set to Chrome when Netflix was blocking DRM enabled FF. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people just always have it on, especially considering how popular of an add on it is.


The true spirit of Internet Explorer lives on, I guess.


What's dead may never die.
