    Freedom!

    Chromium's license and dependencies are almost 100% restriction-free BSD. You can do whatever you want with it - without the fear that the Copyleft gang will drag you to court and make you waste millions on your defense and/or product launch delays / cancellations!

    Firefox and its dependencies are locked away behind an iron wall of Copyleft and other restrictions. Every person who cares about personal liberty and free enterprise should use Chromium (or a less Google-entangled fork of it) instead!

    "Just downloaded it - it's just as fast as Chrome or even faster. Typing this from shiny new browser."

    2000 Internet Explorer Fanboys:

    "Just downloaded it - it's just as safe as Firefox or safer. Typing this from shiny new browser."

    Do we pity or just laugh at the delusional sods still clinging to the turd of a browser that Firefox is?

    Per my subject-line above, & my first post parent to this one, where the "puny undereducated & unaccomplished wannabe PC gurus of /." did their usual "mod down" w/ out justifications?

    The technically unjustified, no proof whatsoever "effete 'mod-down'" IS TRULY THE ONLY WEAPON THE UNSKILLED TROLLS HAVE, vs. the 'avalanche' of VERIFIABLE FACTS I provided in my posting...

    Firefox is so far behind both Opera and Chromium in terms of performance and stability that it would take their arrogant programmers years to even catch up with what other browsers are already doing.
