Comment:

 Repeatedly re-opening a ticket is not a good way to convince people to do
 something, so please stop doing this.

 There is no plan to switch to chromium at the moment. Some of the reasons
 are:
 * it doesn't include all the privacy features that we need, and fixing
 that would be a lot of work
 * we are constantly patching Firefox, and working with Mozilla to
 integrate most of our patches and use cases directly into upstream Firefox
 so that it's less work for us, and it's not clear that Google would be
 willing to do the same
