Firefox gains serious speed and reliability and loses some bloat - TechRepublic

So since your precious addon doesn't work in the stock build of Firefox anymore, you threaten to move to Chrome instead, where it never existed in the first place and certainly won't work. Perfect logic, that.

As I see it, I had to put in work either way.

If I'm going to have to put in work, then I'd rather it be productive work.

Going through unnecessary signing steps just to get around unnecessary restrictions put in place by Mozilla was completely unproductive work. I wasn't going to do it.

Porting to Chrome at least avoided the signing nonsense that Mozilla is forcing on us. It also made my extensions usable by a much larger audience, should I ever choose to release them.

I've also heard that Firefox will soon be imitating Chrome's approach, so I'd probably have to port them at some point anyway.

The most rational thing for me to do was to port to Chrome, and abandon Firefox.

I didn't want to have to do that, of course, but the Firefox developers left me with no choice. They made Firefox unusable for me.
