I was a former avid mania of Firefox. I once installed hundreds of extensions and kept waiting for their updating progress whenever I launched the browser. Even when Google released Chrome, I didn't consider the possibility of switch due to the "godsendy extensibility" of Firefox. However, Firefox got slower, slower, slower and its memory leak drove me almost crazy. I reduced the number of active extensions to my essential set under ten, but it always ended up consuming more than 1GB of memory in few hours. So, I switched to Chrome and became its maniac user. I'm not that sure, why I am writing this boring story, but I settled down to Conkeror and w3m now. I don't launch Chrome. When it comes to the choice of browser, it's more about ease of customization and user-interface, not about speed anymore to me.
