Recently, pcworld published an analysis on FridayArticleFirefox is gradually losing the favor of computer experts in the competition with chrome, said. Although the Mozilla Foundation is still committed to some ambitious goals, Firefox has declared its death.
 
Google recently launched chrome for Linux. Even in a low-performance netbook such as Dell mini 9, chrome can still bring a fast Internet browsing experience, especially when logging on to a large number of websites using JavaScript such as Gmail and Google Documents.

Firefox has performed well in this aspect. However, compared with chrome, Firefox seems very slow, and is not even at the same level. This is like a race between an elderly man and a 20-year-old man. Currently, chrome can replace Firefox.

Mozilla has some great goals and their work is also worthy of respect. Many Internet experts also have a high degree of loyalty to Mozilla, because Mozilla has made more efforts in the open-source software field than any other company. However, Mozilla has forgotten how to make a good browser. Firefox is no longer the most favored choice by Internet experts. Many people are dissatisfied with Firefox.

Firefox is an open-source software. This means that the browser is technology-driven, and users' opinions do not play a decisive role in it. Even if millions of users are not satisfied, Mozilla can continue to promote Firefox development.

However, we need to see that Mozilla's revenue comes from end users. When you use Firefox's built-in search toolbar for search, Mozilla receives a portion of the revenue. Mozilla currently relies mainly on search cooperation with Google to survive. If users give up Firefox, Mozilla will suffer a financial crisis.

Currently, the Firefox project is like a heavy truck that cannot be stopped. The truck has gained enough power and will continue in the previously selected direction. It is too late to make changes. Chrome has won, and Firefox has declared its death. Mozilla's only choice is to carefully evaluate the development of the browser market and reverse the wrong direction, but this is almost impossible. Two to three years later, many users will switch to chrome, and they will no longer be able to turn back to Firefox.
