I prefer the fully matured and functional Firefox, been using it since release and I still haven't seen another browser offer a better experience.

Launch Chrome, it asks if you have a gmail account, boom everything is synced. Bookmarks, addons, passwords...
Anyway, I still prefer Firefox for its adblocker. Much, much better than Chrome.

Moz backup http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ backs up and restores your browser exactly where you left off on a fresh machine as if nothing ever happened.

I agree.

Recently with the company I work for, we are starting to use Firefox when developing our new websites. Took us a long time, but with recent browser trends, we're ditching IE, as are most of our customers.thumb.gif

I use Chrome at home, but Firefox here at work... I honestly don't care which I use, as long as it's not IE. I like them both a lot.

I love chrome. Its instantly syncs my PC, laptop and phone. One change somewhere changes them all. It's also really fast tongue.gif I'm glad they are starting to gain market share. By far the best browser out there.

Chrome's Adblock addon is inferior to Firefox's. When I go back and forth between both browsers on the same websites, Firefox is filtering just about anything where as Chrome is much weaker when it comes to blocking ads

Did you use AdBlock? Or AdBlock Plus(beta)? In my experience AdBlock Plus has worked just as well as FF's AdBlock.

I find it hard to believe anyone that uses Firefox over Chrome has even tried Chrome. There's no comparison.

I tried Chrome a couple of years ago, didn't like it, and have just stuck with Firefox (now Waterfox) ever since.

Firefox has adblock. Google will never allow a good adblock because THEY DEPEND ON ADS FOR MONEY. What's the most common use of adblock? Blocking commercials while you're watching youtube online. Google owns youtube. Hence, Chrome will always be inferior in that aspect.

Sure Chrome runs lighter and faster but this is overclock.net. No browser will slow any computer on this site down. I prefer Firefox for the powerful addons and adblock.

Well, most adlbock.
