Google has advertisements for Chrome on their search page -- that's why they have a large market share. They also spread a lot of propaganda about Chrome's being faster.

In reality, Chrome is intentionally designed to slow users down by sending them to Google search results instead of directly to the destination URLs. People then click on the camouflaged AdSense.

Firefox is now faster than Chrome in independent tests, and it doesn't use up as much memory. Firefox is a much better browser in many ways.

Mozilla's big mistake is that they aren't reaching out enough to developers. It's developers who set the trends. Example: I started a Firefox developers group in the Bay Area, and no one from Mozilla replied to my messages about their helping out, even if nothing more than offering us occasional meetup space.

The SF office has a street-level room set aside for use as a community space, theoretically it shouldn't be too hard to convince them to let you use it. I know this because I intend to use it for various Rust-relates purposes for the next month or so. :)

Thanks for the info. I got too busy and stepped down from the Meetup group. I encouraged Mozilla to take over as organizer, but they didn't. I hope that someone else will start one up.
