Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

a few hours of a single day

Yeah there's the problem.

I'm not talking about just me. I'm talking about getting mass migration to occur. The only people you're going to get to go through anything that takes more than 10-20mins at most are people that REALLLLLLLLLLLLLY care a lot.

i dunno, people who don't see the benefit in switching probably won't switch even if it is easy, and people who do see the benefit... well if they don't switch because of a mild inconvenience, i dunno, they probably didn't actually care

I try new browsers all the time and it's like 5 minutes to switch back and forth between all of the chromium skins and Firefox, and that includes my addon settings, if you don't have addons it's literally one button that pops up when you first launch it. People don't switch because what they have "works" and they don't really care.
