Because HTML+JS is a shit language pair, and therefore HTML+JS interpreters will always be shit.
>>or torrent client
Because no one needs a torrent client in 2016. All the corpcuck software you'd have pirated in 2009 is free and makes it's money by selling your information now.

Firefox is an awesome browser.

My concern is more for a proper operating system. Linux can not do everything I need it to. Windows started turning to shit since Vista and it's not getting better and Mac OS isn't even to consider.

>>54569425
Write one yourself.
>>54569757
I generally don't open 30 tabs, but I do have Firefox open all the time. I'd say on average I have Firefox open for 7 to 14 days before I close it. I'm on Linux though.

I don't know what his actual complaint about Web browsers is, but I'm guessing it's security issues (chrome botnet), shitty layout/design (Firefox copying chrome), crashing issues (Firefox supposedly, although it doesn't happen to me), more recently a lack of customization like custom add-ons.
Literally all of these problems could be solved by writing a Web browser yourself.

I am so sick of everyone saying that and not explaining what they mean. HOW IS CHROME A BOTNET? ACTUALLY ANSWER ME.

>>54572177
It autoupdates without even asking you, it installs new software on your PC without asking you, it has root/admin level access to your system, to install new software, silently, without your permission.

There are a few issues with this

If we assume for a second that google isn't completely benign, they aren't trying to do anything malicious - it's still a massive security hole, if a malicious actor can take control of your running instance of Chrome, they can take your entire PC and chrome is FULL of 0day security bugs.

Then there is of course the fact that Google have a less than stellar ethical record too, it wouldn't be above them to install spyware on your PC and to sell metrics for adverting among other things.

It's a 'botnet' because it can and does install new software on your machine without asking or even showing you.

>It autoupdates without even asking you,
Okay.

>it installs new software on your PC without asking you,
When did that ever happen?

>it has root/admin level access to your system, to install new software, silently, without your permission.
Software never really has admin level access to your system unless you grant it. What do you mean exactly?

Because corporate greed fucking ruins everything.
