Firefox, solely for TreeStyleTabs. I really doubt I'll ever switch so long as it's the only browser that has it. The built in PDF viewer is also very nice.
Ill occasionally use Chrome for its better support of Flash websites without having Flash installed.
- mettamage 10y agoI never heard about TreeStyleTabs, thanks for mentioning it! For me, it's hard to say what's my favorite. I just know that I have my Chrome setup the way I want to and the cost to switch to Firefox, for example, is a bit higher. There's no cloud app that just take care of your extensions. ^ If someone could make this, I'd be delighted!
- lucb1e 10y agoFirefox for tabs on the left side (see the Test Pilot project). Firefox for being fully open source with Mozilla as a non-profit behind it. Firefox for having the awesomebar. Chrome has some advantages: isolated tabs (one crashes or hangs and the rest can continue) and it feels quicker (not sure why, iirc they're similar in benchmarks). Firefox is also working towards isolated tabs, so that leaves speed, and Firefox is fast enough that I'm not annoyed by it. It might also be that Chrome feels quicker because I don't open fifty tabs in it (since I don't use it regularly) nor have a big history file or cookie jar.
- SimeVidas 10y agoAnother important feature of Firefox is tracking protection, which can be turned on globally via a flag in about:config. I use it in conjunction with an ad blocker, because I don’t trust the ad blocker fully (as no one should). On the other hand, I feel that I can trust Mozilla to a high degree.
- SAI_Peregrinus 10y agoYet another TreeStyleTabs user here. That + SessionManager is just too functional to give up.
