15 years ago, Firefox would cause my desktop computer to spin up its really loud fan once or twice an hour. It was a room away from my bedroom, but it was enough to wake up my (now) wife, who was angry, but unable to identify the source of the noise. That lasted for a few weeks before I noticed it during the day. When I switched to Chrome, it stopped.

It's totally unreasonable, but it's enough to keep me off Firefox. I'm sure both browsers have been rewritten multiple times since then.

Well, it was, until the whole "web integrity thing".

Yeah. That does sound unreasonable haha.

I used to use Firefox before chrome released. It used to be the best, but chrome took the crown after Firefox became a memory eater.

Now chrome is being all iTunes walled garden, and Firefox also recently overtook it in terms of speed.

I installed it alongside my trusty chrome install, played around with extensions(or add-ons) until the experience mostly matched, and switched over once I was satisfied.

Chrome's still installed if I need it, but I haven't needed it!

It's worth a go at least!
