This is my setup exactly. Chrome is like the sports car, fast as, very zippy, but isn't all that comfortable.
Firefox is the big, chew-a-lot-of-petrol car with the cruise control, A/C and big comfortable seats. Takes a long time to get up to speed, but it's good for the long drives.
- IsaacL 15y agoI don't use Chrome extensions. I used to use a lot of FF add-ons, but when I switched to using Ubuntu over Windows I don't think I reinstalled any apart from Firebug. Now I feel like a Luddite, so do you or any HNers have any suggestions for useful add-ons or extensions that are "good for the long drives"?

- narad 15y agoI like your analogy. Firefox is still a memory hog.
- windsurfer 15y agoIt seems to me that Firefox uses less memory now than Chrome with 30 tabs open.
