Firefox has been great for me lately. I use iOS, so I can have password synced cross platform, and I honestly feel like Firefox performs better than Chrome on my PC. Chrome eats up RAM, and it runs in the background unless you manually configure it otherwise.

I won't try to sell anyone on it, but it's awesome. Politics and Mozilla's laughable behavior aside, it's still a damn good browser.

I am sorry, but that hasn't been my experience at all. Both on Windows and Android. I've noticed that Firefox eats up far more memory than chrome with way lesser open tabs on both the platforms. I've had tabs die on me multiple times that I simply could not recover. At this point I am very conscious when I am using Firefox because I don't want too many open tabs or leave them open for too long.

I'd love to use Firefox and ditch Chrome completely, but I don't think its there yet.
