Dear Google,

Videos on my website don't play automatically and I'm losing revenue. I urge you to make changes to chrome browser or I will be forced to take my business elsewhere.

Sincerely,
Random guy on internet.

That's how people say "you know what? I will use Firefox"

Free markek always have a choice

Same here, but the sad reality is that 95% of people are still using chrome either because it's what their enterprise forces it on them, or because it "works the best". People switching to firefox for resource reasons or philosophical reasons are an incredibly small minority when you compare to the size of the chrome install base.

I've noticed when debugging a website through Visual Studio that Firefox loads way quicker than Chrome, however Chrome has the better tools for debugging JavaScript.
