Great discussion. Very relevant. I put it like this: I never minded that Firefox was in decline so long as it retained its flexibility. Its flexibility on add-ons was superb.
BUT, right now, its move towards WebExtensions target for November, is causing havoc, especially for add-ons that need to save to disk. Its no longer what it was. I DO think that Chrome saving, IF it could be got to work as elegantly as TiddlyFox currently does, could help TiddlyWiki get more widely used. There has been much discussion about this. Not being a developer I don't really understand the issues on how DIFFICULT overwrite saving has become in browsers. What I AM clear about is that to "use-TW-out-of-the-box" in a way that an ordinary user could cope with and benefit from needs simplicity. Especially when they first start. Especially on basic saving.
