I like chrome. It has a more sleek and minimalist design that I like, plus it’s faster. Although it can be sorta hard to find things (like extensions) at times, but meh it’s all good.
OK question - wtf is with you guys having like 30 tabs open? That shit is ridiculous. I can understand 10 so you can look at something later, but fucking 30? When I’m on the internet - I open a tab, read/do whatever, and close that motherfucker like it’s my bitch.

BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO READ IT LATER
Mak:
Chrome has thousands of plugins now, so the plugins argument is no longer really in favor of Firefox, save for some niche stuff.
Make sure to get the following:
Vertical Tabs - makes it easier to view all open tabs, in a vertical list
Sessions Manager - for when you have 20+ tabs open (your “recreational” time) and want to save them all like a snapshop, with a timestamp and custom label, to all be reopened later. Very cool.
I actually prefer Donkey Kong. I know they are supposedly the same, but it just feels like DK has more top end, and I’m so fucking good at the power slide the throttle is wide open on every board around every corner.

i made the switch to srware iron (which is kinda modified chrome - without the google “phone-home” apps)
-i haven’t found anything that runs faster on my eeepc to date
-i never had popup problems
-big content section, small navigation (perfect for netbook displays)
-all the other chrome goodies.
Firefox has always been my choice.
I don’t like Google’s data-mining. If I can avoid that at the cost of a little “bloat”, that’s fine by me.
I don’t think anyone has mentioned it, but Chrome treats each individual tab as a separate process. Thus, if one of the tabs freeze, you can kill it without killing your entire browser.
Well, I have Chrome running for now. I’m finding it covers everything I need in a browser - specifically the ability to multi tab and run smoothly. I barely ever use add ons, so that was a non issue from the start (for me).
I’ll see how this goes, and if shit goes south I’ll look at the other suggestions.
