It's not as much about "dumping" Mozilla software, but the loss of trust in Mozilla in their role as steward of an open and unencumbered Internet.

Now, with all vendors being more or less equal, one might as well take up gerv's own suggestion and use Chrome(ium), if only in the hope to send a signal to Google that they might consider to stop spending money on Mozilla so some people will get sacked, and a leaner and meaner Mozilla might do some soul searching about what their real role in the digital world is supposed to be.

so, to punish Mozilla for resisting and then caving to something that Chrome has been championing, you are going to stop using Mozilla and instead use Chrome in the hope that Mozilla feels bad????

Mozilla never had the power to be the Steward of the Internet. If you are upset at them for compromising that position, then you just never understood their power in the first place.
