I wouldn't say this is an uncommon philosophy. I for one am very aware that Firefox is, for the most part, an objectively worse browser than Chrome; SpiderMonkey is worse than V8, Gecko is worse than Blink. I still use it in a futile attempt to avoid Google's monopoly on the web (and for tree-style tab), but I'm perpetually disappointed by Mozilla's mismanagement of Firefox. It's as if Mozilla is trying to morph Firefox in to a discount Chrome clone by stripping it of its only appeal, killing it's viability to both markets simultaneously.

I agree with you that Mozilla's mismanagement of... everything... had been a disappointment, but Firefox is... fine. I've used it for years and have few complaints. I expect it's strictly worse than Chrome on several axes, but I doubt in ways that most people would notice or care about.

Maybe it is objectively inferior to chrome, but not enought to make me switch.

IOW, I'm not missing anything by staying with FF because all the sites I use work with FF.

In fact, a site that only works on one browser is probably not a site that anyone goes to anyway, objective metrics be damned.
