    I’m surpsied (but obviously shouldn’t be) that that many potential users would instantly bounce off Firefox instead of changing the default search engine.

      Honestly, the association with Yahoo just makes the platform look like a joke. Like, the first time you do a search and it pops up as Yahoo your first instinct is thinking you’re using the wrong thing.

      Nothing binds me to my browser besides my bookmarks which can be exported, my addons which are usually on both platforms and my history.
      At home and on my phone I use FF and am mostly happy.
      At work I choose Chrome because most websites work best in it.
