I switched from Chrome to Firefox a few weeks ago. Yes, Chrome is noticeably faster for every rendering task. In particular, it's nice that single tabs don't slow down the whole browser.
In the end though, both work fine and I don't mind the difference in speed too much.
- wvenable 14y agoWhy the switch? I don't imagine there are too many people switching from Chrome to Firefox. I simply can't live without the features I've gotten used to, but if I didn't know any better I'd probably just stick with Chrome.
- Derbasti 14y agoFor some reason, my main Chrome installation broke (kept resetting itself every few days). Also, I became fed up with sending all my settings, bookmarks and history to Google. So I tried Opera. It had a few quirks which ultimately threw me off too much. Hence, Firefox. It does not annoy me (much). That is all I ask from good software. Also, Firefox syncing is quite amazing. Divorcing myself from Google is still in progress though, with maps and calendar being the last holdouts.
- Nick_C 14y agoI switched a few months ago and am pretty happy, once you find the right addons. The reason I switched was some niggling privacy concerns and then discovering that google-chrome won't allow Ghostery to block doubleclick. Firefox with: adblock-plus, ghostery, noscript, requestpolicy, refcontrol and cookiemonster addresses all the privacy concerns. Then: add to searchbar, customizable shortcuts, duplicate in tab context menu, firegestures, open link in ..., and sessionmanager give me pretty much the same UX as I had in google-chrome.
