Goodbye Chrome

I have been looking for a way to ditch the resource hungry Chrome and switch to a new browser. So far Edge has been unstable, Opera somehow still exists and Brave is just meh. Hence, my hype for the new Firefox dubbed Firefox Quantum! 

Even though I was all hyped up for Firefox, I managed to keep my expectations minimum, coming into Firefox. And I love it! Firefox has always been customizable, but, Quantum takes it to a new level! You can change everything. The address bar, themes and even the URL bar. Not only that the browser also feels snappier and is actually fast. It manages to beat chrome almost every time and not only that the browser also consumes significantly fewer resources. Better at less this has to be a dream. Only it is not this Browser is a power users dream come true. It has a plethora of features. The one which I most like is the ability to open a web page on your phone to your PC, by simply tapping the "Send to Device". Add to that the integration of Pocket, the best save it for later tool on the internet, furthermore, there is also a nifty QR scanner built into the mobile browser. 

All in all, Firefox makes a compelling case against Chrome and has taken a giant leap towards beating the mighty Chrome's 60% market hold. Firefox means war! and I am all in on Firefox.
