I really don’t see the political difference between the liberals at Microsoft, Google and the liberals at Firefox.
Just use the best browser for you and be done with it.
Agree!
I can separate politics from usefulness, as long as a company can in their product(s).
I use FF and am stuck at version 15 because later versions have too many conflicts with other software. But, so does IE and other browsers.
I still use an old IE-based Fast Browser Pro for FR, because it is tabbed and has some editing add-ons that don’t work with IE after ver 9.
I have a couple of other browsers that I use infrequently, but they do come in handy when Flash or some other feature fails to work on IE or FF.
FF does have nice add-ons, so I continue to use it — regardless of the politics.
If we dumped everything that had a liberal leaning, we would have huge vacant spaces in our culture.

100% correct. It’s insane to use inferior FREE technology and deliberately hamper your own life over ridiculous miniscule differences between various bastions of “Progressivism”.
What good does it do yourself to cripple yourself in such a situation? Who exactly do you think you are hurting here besides yourself?
Now if you were choosing with actual dollars from your actual pocketbook and all else was equal, then by all means, support the company you like the best. But even here, it’s foolish to purchase a vastly inferior, overpriced product in lieu of the one that best does the job for you because of politics. You’re really only hurting yourself in such a situation.
Personally, I detest chrome and like firefox the best because of the plethora of available flexibility, productivity, and privacy addons (despite, of course, the many flaws of FF, namely the perpetual memory leaks Mozilla has always refused to fix, causing FF to eventually freeze and/or crash after several days of intensive use.)
Good advice. Use the browser that works best for you. None is any more secure than another and each has problems that go along with them. If you encounter compatibility problems, learn how to use the compatibility mode settings to set compatibility for a page or pages to an earlier version that was compatible.
