I use palemoon, which is just the windows version of Firefox. I think chrome is too non secure for me to make it my normal browser, even if it is/was/could be faster. I think the last convention put together chrome was the first to fold.

i been having all sorts of problems with firefox getting really slow and using tons of memory lately but i still stick with it for the noscript/ad addons for general browsing...switching to IE for compatability on some trusted sites.

I don't plan on switching to Chrome anytime soon.

I tried Chrome maybe a year ago and it wasn't a super pleasant experience. I kept trying to change the text size (ctrl++) but the settings would never stick so each time I opened up VNboards I had to increase text size again. Very aggravating.

Also the adblock plus didnt really work near the level of firefox's version.

And at the time there were very limited UI themes. Pales in comparison to what Firefox community has put out.

All I use is Chrome, it is faster, lighter, does not crash like FF did and ABP and Flash Block work great. At one time the Ad Block for chrome was a pain (loading the ads then blocking them), but it works much better now. Firefox did wonders for browsers, it broke Microsoft's stranglehold and helped pave the way for other browsers and more open internet standards. But right now, Chrome is my browser of choice.

I'm still using Firefox. Each time i tried Chrome, i never stuck with it. I just can't seem to stay with it. I didn't have that problem when i switched from IE to Firefox a long time ago.

I have difficulties to remember last time FF crashed for me... must have been years ago.

If FF crashes for you then it's more than likely something else causing the problem cause FF is solid as a rock for me.
