- pmontra 10y agoI'm using both Firefox and Opera on mg laptop and they don't feel any different regarding speed or crashes.
- moonfern 10y agoI can't argue with your point of view. 'zero reasons' reminds me that language laughs with logic.
- rmchugh 10y agoI use it for the history search in the address bar, it seems to remember far more history than Chrome which is really useful when I'm looking for that StackOverflow thread I read the other day.
- atrudeau 10y agoMy was one issue with Chrome: it didn't have the magic history search in the URL bar that Firefox. UNTIL I discovered that if you disable "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs" option for the Omnibar it works PERFECTLY, just like Firefox. Type in any part of the URL or title of the page and bingo.
- sakisv 10y agoYES! Thank you!
- i336_ 10y agoChrome only remembers history between now and 90 days ago. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/history-trends-unlimited/pnmchffiealhkdloeffcdnbgdnedheme https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/history-trends-unl... As noted in the description, this extension resolves that permanently, although I'm still not quite sure how it impacts history sync or URL bar search. I also think (totally unsure) that you might need to open the extension occasionally for it to save the history. It's awesome though.
- SilasX 10y agoFor me, a) pentadactyl is better than Vimium, b) FF seems faster (I know, subjective), and c) Mozilla is much less likely to have been centrally logging something about me without my explicit permission.
- jschwartzi 10y agoI use it instead of Chrome because it doesn't burn through my laptop battery by spawning threads that then consume all of my CPU.
