Perhaps its integration within the browser, or marketing - I'm not sure. But again, it's not a matter of assessing each feature and comparing the two, because that's what developers do. It's a matter of appealling to the non-developer community using the internet (much larger than the developer community, unfortunately).
- kaolinite 14y agoIntegration into the browser is definitely an issue. Addons are hidden away in a menu and non-techies are definitely less likely to find them. I hope this will change soon as Firefox rolls out the new tab page. It would be nice to have something similar to Chrome with a page you can scroll across to for extensions. I'm still confused as to why this made you switch, however, as I'm sure you're capable of installing addons in either browser. Still, each to their own :-)

- nodata 14y agoIt's not clear enough what the difference between these things are: * Add-ons * Extensions * Plug-ins * Themes * Appearance * Personas (Note: I'm not asking for an explanation, I'm pointing out a problem)
- kaolinite 14y agoSame applies to Chrome too, to an extent: - Extensions - Apps - Plugins - Themes
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI think with Chrome, aside from Plugins, it's pretty clear. Extensions add stuff to the browser, Apps are applications, and Themes make the browser pretty (or ugly).
