Is Firefox still good ?
Is Firefox still good ?
To the people, is Firefox still the go to browser? Is there something better out there for the average person? I've heard good things about internet explorer.

Firefox has been my preferred browser since 0.9. But whenever I help set up a relative's or friend's computer, I always install chrome as the default browser. With the lack of adherence to web standards and most sites only testing against chrome, it just makes chrome/chromium the obvious choice if you don't want to deal with the occasional breakage.
I've used Firefox daily for probably a decade now and I can think of a single website it's ever not worked properly with that entire time.
That's great and all but if your experience was typical, Mozilla wouldn't have created webcompat.com and it wouldn't be as busy as it appears to be. We can probably work around such issues but I wouldn't expect non-techies to do the same.
Eh, I'm gonna be honest, I just don't see it as an issue that justifies not putting it on other people's computers, as the original comment was about.
And I just tried to recreate a few issues from that site, and personally can't. Sure, I know, anecdotal, but I just strongly feel like it's a flimsy reason to not recommend it to a friend or relative.
