Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Seriously… I’ve never once strayed from Firefox since its release.
I’m forced to use chrome for work and it is crap.

I guess that using safari on iOS devices is one exception, and it isn’t too bad.

I’ve been using Firefox since it was called Phoenix. Mozilla, for all it’s flaws, has been our first and only line of defense for an open web for so long.

I think I started using it in the 1.x times. I remember all the flaws it’s had since. I’ve given lots of other browsers a try in the meantime but none come close to Firefox. They might be good enough for others but for power users Firefox is the way to go.

Damn… I think I came on a bit later than that. I don’t recognize the icon of Phoenix so I doubt I made the switch that early on!
