Oh one more reason. Phoronix is better on Chromium. The forum navigation buttons all work and I don't get error messages when posting sometimes.

Seems to be a lot of misinformation around this. The signing enforcement doesn't restrict addons to only those hosted by Mozilla. Any third party is able to get their extension signed. There are some that will be subjected to review first, if they do certain things, and this aspect of it certainly could be debated. Nothing about it is DRM, though, or requires anything to be closed-source. Further, Mozilla has already stated an intention to release an unbranded release version that will leave the config option in to allow unsigned extensions.

Yes, please do! They should strip out Firefox and replace it with Chromium. Chromium is faster. Chromium's webgl is faster. Chromium's scrolling is smoother. Chromium supports more HTML5. Chromium has a smooth UI that doesn't get janky with heavy HTML5 apps. Chromium is a modern browser that can actually utilize more the 1 of my 8 CPU cores. Chromium is a better browser

Chromium cannot be defended against coming up "unique" in the Panopticlick fingerprinting test site. If being fingerprinted and tracked without cookies is unacceptable, then Chromium is limited to known safe, non-ad supported websites free of trackers and whose authors are also known and trusted.
