> But FF has been inferior to Chrome for many years. Can we please stop fueling this myth? Maybe for some of you Firefox lacks something you actually need. For others, like me and a bunch of others it is completely the other way, -if I was forced to use any other browser it would annoy me to no end (not tree tabs, etc etc). So while I think it is totally fine to point out where other does better, telling everyone that Chrome is better isn't even true except for very specific cases. Edit: clarify need

It is almost as though different people has tastes that stray from yours.

  That is exactly what I point out. But unlike others I hope that I don't tell everyone that my taste is better.

It's not a myth. FF was my main browser, and would be to this date if it provided the best experience. Chrome is faster, snappier, more fluid. Faster time to render, fastes JS engine. There's a reason most of the geeks switched to Chrome on their own, before Google began it's aggressive approach of converting everyone to it with ads and bundling.

  This doesn't help. For any of the reasons you mention we can pull another reason why FF is better.

Once accustomed to browsers with more comprehensive customization it does feels rather limiting using anything else. It's the customization aspect that keeps me with Firefox coming from Opera Presto, in addition to a host of other functionality that thanks to its far more moddable nature is possible. One of the things I love about Chromium though is the responsive and device modes of the web inspector. Top quality.

  I don't responsive or mobile at the moment but I guess there is some kind of extension for that. Remember FF extensions can be quite a bit more powerful than other extensions.
