Firefox is my default browser but I have Chrome handy too in case I have to use Google Docs (things like Copy paste don't work properly in Firefox). I find that Firefox is maybe 50% slower than Chrome on initial load, but thereafter, I can't tell the difference. I really cannot see how an extra second or so of load time for a software product that one uses all day every day (ie you probably load it only once), represents a material performance difference. I think Chrome at this point is much more about inertia, and it is entirely reasonable to argue that we need competition and to request for people to use Firefox. Moreover I find Mozilla to be quite credible on its Firefox roadmap; after all, they invented a whole new, advanced, programming language, just for Firefox, and there's a lot of noise coming out of Mozilla on its various strategies IMO (including the logo, for example) which suggests to me that the organization is dynamic and has a strong future. Therefore I'm supporting Mozilla, and it's essentially costing me nothing, while hopefully doing a small bit to prevent a dangerous hegemony from forming.
