Really? It is my primary development browser. In fact, chromium has left me in the lurch more than once with its bugs (mainly with svg and resources memory management). Imagine a company with products based on svg (complex ones with a lot of user interaction) and a new version of chrome that fails managing mouse events in some circunstances... my company begun to receive emails/phone calls from our customers telling that "our software bug" was making them lose thousands of euros every hour. (Our company was a "personalization" service used by a lot of manufacturers eCommerce in Spain). It was not the first neither the last problem that a new version of chrome caused to our company: You can't say to a customer "tell your users to browse your ecommerce with Firefox or Safari" because Chromium dominates browsers market (it is a monopolistic control). I remember when reported a bug about canvas/images memory leak (Our software processed hundred of images directly on web)... we find the solution to assigning 0 to width/height... but the chromium bug remained YEARS until it was solved. It gives you the magnitude of what a monopolistic control signifies. Adam, I really heated Chrome... and I simply don't tolerate each new browser based on chromium. I consider it a giant error. "One ring to rule them all" Firefox protection is a must.

It was such a pain supporting it in the first few years, while IE and Firefox were both working pretty well at the time. But, like I just said in the other post, Firefox has near-zero support for being embedded in other applications. If you know of a way that we could reasonably use from D, let me know, but the only time I've seen an embedded Gecko is actually in the Wine project... and this had no other way to access it that I could find. I remember when reported a bug about canvas/images memory leak (Our software processed hundred of images directly on web)... we find the solution to assigning 0 to width/height... but the chromium bug remained YEARS until it was solved. Mozilla has closed *dozens* of bugs that affect me directly as WONTFIX, including fairly simple to fix regressions. That's why I can't use it anymore. Adam, I really heated Chrome... and I simply don't tolerate each new browser based on chromium. If you wanna work on my other engine to bring it up to spec, feel free lol, but the screenshots speak to the functionality gap...

Neither any browsers are good In firefox sometimes pages simply crashes without any error message, you have to close tab and open it again. In chromium sometimes caret becomes invisible, and page crashes the entire app becomes irresponsive. Also I find it funny how people tell they use firefox for privacy, yet firefox have telemetry on by default.
