I am still a firefox user...but I don't want to be.

I will admit the whole Eich thing, when we was promoted I quickly lost my attachment to Mozilla - they clearly were not the organization I thought they were. But aside from that Firefox seems to be the worst of all choices - the only thing keeping me attached to it is the lack of an open source alternative.

Chrome seems to be far ahead in terms of security (XSS protection, Sandboxing etc.) and in many cases appears to be faster - but I don't trust an advertising company with my browser.

I think we need a fresh contender - an open browser, built from the start with an understanding of the security and privacy lessons we have learned over the last 30 years. I'm not sure how realistic that dream is, but I believe it is worth the thought.

Servo is that project, when it's beta I'll go back to Mozilla as I feel like I'm ushering in the Stallman dystopia by supporting proprietary software. I dumped FF when they almost cloned Chrome's UI. If I'm going to use the same UI might as well apt-get install browser-chromium and get a sandbox with it.

So who then? The Eich incident was probably the only incident I can think of where Mozilla did a bad (if that). Consider Eich contributing to a campaign (admittedly a very bad one), vs all the bad things that came out of The Microsoft and Google dominated years. It's not like you are picking between TWC and EFF. The alternatives are much more willing to corrupt the web to make a buck.

Could that be Servo? I think maybe, but it is way too early to tell.
