With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

The best time to switch to Firefox was 5 years ago. The second best is today.

I went straight from Mozilla Navigator to Firefox 1.0.

Tabs were such a crazy new thing back then. You would show tabbed browsing to someone (rather than opening new windows) and they thought you were a wizard. IE5 didn’t have tabs, so nerds moved to Mozilla/Firefox. Then IE6 came out but still didn’t have tabs. By the time IE7 came out, I’d had tabbed browsing for 5+ years.

Google has a web-browser?

I use Firefox since it's release. It was never bad. I don't get all the Chrome users.
