The main reason I use Firefox over Chrome is that the Chrome devs are very against users having a choice on how the browser operates. They also tend to over-engineer solutions to problems.
Here's an example. There has been a bug report asking that Chrome ask to overwrite files instead of silently adding a number to the filename. Instead of making Chrome operate like every other browser and every other program out there they instead came up with a scheme to track all file downloads in the download history and if etags and dates match to "snap" to the location where the file already exists on the user's drive.
Countless of users have said they don't want that. All they want is to be asked to overwrite. Nope, not going to happen. So give us an option in the settings. Nope. Apparently too many options is a bad thing to have.
That's why I don't use Chrome.
