Chrome can't even begin to compare to Firefox when it comes to handling anything >10 tabs, which is I think what 99% of people max out at, so Chrome doesn't bother about the rest even though people have been begging for years.
- no multiple tab rows
- when you launch, it reloads every single tab vs loading only the active one (the only sane option), causing massive slowdown and network traffic
- as a result in Firefox you can have 100's of tabs, open the browser, work in a few and close, without affecting anything.
- Firefox had Tab groups, an awesome visual representation, before they made it optional due to everyone copying Chrome's limited feature set.
- Chrome still uses much more memory
- Firefox extensions are by design much more powerful. e.g. Session Manager. And things like Tree style tabs etc.
- sargun 10y agoI have recently been running FF in parallel with Chrome. If I'm using non-Google properties, that don't use bad extensions, I quite like using FF. It's not quite as stable, but it "feels" faster and lighter.
- hashhar 10y agoFirefox easily handles upwards of 50 tabs while Chrome keeps crashing most of the times for me and takes up a lot of load time. FF extensions are really great compared to Chrome (apart from some Chorome Apps). My only remaining gripe with Firefox is the tab spinning problem (it seems to improve after every new build. I'm on nightly.).
