Well, as one piece of anecdotal evidence: I only use one browser extension (Vimium on Chrome, VimFx on Firefox) and still find Firefox significantly faster than Chrome.
Also, I like using the same browser on my Android tablet as on my laptop and websites that use MathJax render incorrectly on Android Chrome (these sites render perfectly well on Android Firefox and on both desktop Firefox and desktop Chrome). So I'd probably use Firefox even if it were a little slower than Chrome.
- perishabledave 12y agoThere is a Vimium equivalent for Firefox?! I'm sold!
- markatto 12y agoThere are several; vimperator has been around since before chrome even existed.
- omaranto 12y agoChronologically it's the other way around I think: Vimium was inspired by the Firefox plugins Vimperator and Pentadactyl. (The one I mentioned, VimFx, is more recent and more minimalistic that either Vimperator or Pentadactyl.)
- commandar 12y agoThe minimalism is why I vastly prefer Vimium to e.g. Vimperator, personally.
- wooger 12y agoYou're kidding right? Vimperator and the much better fork Pentadactyl have been around for years on Firefox, and implement everything Vimium does and more, in a much more reliable way. Every single control interface is available, and scriptable in Pentadactyl. Vimium isn't even the best vimperator clone for Chrome - cVim has now taken that crown by a very large margin, and is worlds better in terms of features, configuration and reliability.
