No way :-)

Firefox is my choice for 'if I only could have one' browser. I like the new
feature in the latest Firefox, plugin-container'. It is a separate process
that you can kill.. when , i.e. flash goes bonkers. My experience is that I
have to kill 'plugin-container' far more often than with the old firefox ,
but hopefully that is the beta status.

I used google-chrome to watch flash stuff online. Flash eventually takes down
google-chrome, so I end up on Firefox.

Flash free would simplify things.
