I think this is going to anger a lot of people and gets downvoted into oblivion. But I will say this anyway.
Open Web, Javascript Only world, and Patents free video codec etc, doesn't matter to 98% of the users online. It is a very noble thing to do, but most users dont care.
Do i care? I do, but none of these are going to pull users away from Chrome. As a matter of fact, if Firefox didn't have a bunch of loyal fans, Chrome would have taken over 60% of Desktop Browsers market shares. With the majority of the rest going to IE, then Safari and Firefox.
Users care about speed. Having deployed over 100s installation of Firefox, and forcing them to use it, everytime they get to touched Chrome their instant response was, why is this so much faster. Can I use this?
They dont care about e10s, tab per process, Different set of Superfast JavaScript Compiler that only works with 10% of the site. Or What ever newest GC that was added it. They wouldn't know, and dont want to know either. All that matter is the result, the experience of using the product.
I am a Firefox Fans, but I hated it, all because i love it so much.

"Fighting pollution is a noble thing to do, but most users don't care. They just want fast cars."
Users don't understand enough to care. That doesn't excuse us who do understand from caring.
The web that users love today is possible because of ideals like interoperability which they don't understand.
