Unfortunately Firefox has 5x the code exploit bugs vs Chrome. If we just take 2014 Firefox had 13x code exploits over Chrome. http://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html?vendor_id=1224 http://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html?v... http://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html?vendor_id=452 http://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html?... Until that number changes I'm not switching to back to Firefox.

Unfortunately Chrome is a google product. I'm not using chrome ever, why would I voluntarily install spyware ? One that bundles itself with many freeware. Firefox sucks a lot (no usable UI integration, missing many basic modern features, changes stripping user of choice, and more) but chrome sucks to infinity and is automatically disqualified, I would consider Iron but not chrome. Now my hopes are for vivaldi, I'm waiting for it to get out of tech preview.

  You can use Chromium and have all the supposed "Spyware" removed. Although there is no spyware in Chrome. Also Chrome doesn't bundle itself with anything other than a special more secure version of flash which you can turn off. If you got a version bundled with something else that was a fake install by a 3rd party. The same thing happens to firefox Here's a search for chrome. First 3 links are fake installers made by a 3rd party that likely installs a virus/trojan/rootkit http://i.imgur.com/RpXy3bz.png http://i.imgur.com/RpXy3bz.png Here's a search for firefox. first link is also a fake installers made by a 3rd party that likely installs a virus/trojan/rootkit http://i.imgur.com/12v1r8n.png http://i.imgur.com/12v1r8n.png

    Is there a recommended Chromium-based stable binary distribution for Windows, which receives timely and automatic security updates?

"Until that number changes I'm not switching to back to Firefox." Maybe you should switch then, why? A lot of this information is subject to interpretation. # of Vulnerabilities in 2014: Chrome: 127 Firefox: 108 The code exploit stats show how many exploits were found and patched, which is completely different from the number of exploits that a browser has. Only 4 exploits were found and fixed in Chrome whilst 55 were found and fixed in Firefox... in my opinion that makes Firefox the leader as they found and fixed more vulnerabilities.
