In my case, the reason I keep using Firefox is privacy. Chrome is trying too hard to enforce the walled garden on you and collect data. There's also one "little", but very telling point - you can not set a homepage in Chrome.

If Snowden didn't leak data on NSA surveillance none of the "internet giants" would care about encryption now. They'd continue cooperating as usual. What they do now is saving face, appearing like privacy heroes. These a

I'm quite disappointed by all this drama going on around this subject. It makes me question the very progressive community for its zeal to tarnish and boycott a man for holding an unfavorable view. I find it interesting how no one care
