Im sad to say there is only one reason left that I continue to use firefox as my main browser- The most excellent security addon, noscript, by Giorgio Maone. (and before you say chrome can block javascript- understand noscript does much, much more than just block JS)
If he was to port that to chrome, I would be gone in a heartbeat. Chrome is (from my experiences browsing the web with both browsers), a better browser in almost every sense of the word. Faster updates, Feels much faster browsing and overall just a more enjoyable user experience.
If firefox wants to stay relevant, they will have a real battle on their hands.
This latest design update firefox did is especially infuriating. The steps firefox was making me take to revert my experience to what I knew was insulting. I understand you want me to use this new interface, but you are going to hardcode it so much that I have to read a 3 page doc and install random addons to revert it? This mentality seems to plague mozilla. A bunch of FOSS guys get to decide what the rest of end up with every release.
- PhantomGremlin 12y agoAgree. NoScript is fantastic and under-appreciated. Also agree on how FF updates tend to be infuriating. I'd really love to see FF do something really smart with certificate management. E.g. like Certificate Patrol but more advanced. That would be a major security improvement over what's out there.
- greenyoda 12y agoI also use Firefox as my primary browser (with NoScript), but when I need to use Chrome, I find that the NotScripts[1] extension provides much of the same functionality.

- fabrice_d 12y agoAnd how will that be better for you if you switch to chrome? Will google listen more to your UI wishes? I also don't understand why you claim that Chrome has faster updates, since both browsers have a 6 weeks update cycle.
