But I still get a good deal of satisfaction out of supporting the Mozilla Foundation and its good works. And more than that, I like using a browser that is not owned by one of the major tech companies; that’s an independence that is becoming rare and may one day become a luxury.

I haven’t used Firefox regularly in over 6 years. It feels too slow to me where Safari and Chrome seem snappy. I do have fond memories of Firefox from my college course. I remember walking into the classroom and seeing the switch to Firefox campaign URL scrawled across the whiteboard. It seemed like such a great anti-IE movement back then. I loved it.
