we should have been using it for decades now.
but then simply switching browsers won't really do in the long run, next step is hopefully banding together to eat the rich....
Some of us have
I used to use Firefox before Chrome, and it was working great. Then at some point Firefox just started sucking and so I ended up switching to Chrome.
Around the same time I stopped using hotmail in favor of gmail as well

Now, probably almost 20 years later I'm back at Firefox
I haven't escaped gmail yet though

I used chrome for a long time. It's just the browser I downloaded when I was a kid, and realized there were options other than Internet Explorer. I used it for years, just because I couldn't be arsed to switch.
It was this Web API shit that made me finally bite the bullet and switch. Honestly, after some tinkering and researching plugins I barely notice the change. Should've switched years ago.
I started using Firefox after Opera changed to being Chromium-based about 10 years ago. (RIP) Fortunately Firefox is a lot better than it used to be so it's not so bad.
Oddly enough I got a lot of unprompted flack from my colleagues about using non-Chrome browsers. It boggles my mind how much people are really attached to Chrome.
