I've been going back and forth myself between FF7 and Chrome14, IE is always last for me.
I just think that FF seems to give you more options on add-on and placement.
 Internet Explorer, the old, fat, mad king of the online kingdom still reigns uncontested. But beneath him, a power struggle between Chrome and Firefox, the latter of which has clung to the number two spot. But that's about to change. According to internet stats firm StatCounter, Chrome's grown in use by 50%—and is on track to take the silver medal by December. StatCounter is just one company among many that do the exact same thing, so these figures aren't ironclad. But the trend definitely is—IE languishes, and Firefox hasn't done much to excite us in a while. Chrome, on the other hand, at least has Google beating its drum; a luxury afforded by, you know, being owned by megarich Google. The <em style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: italic; font-size: 15px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">long term trend here—emphasis on long—is the gradual decline of IE. Eventually, I'd expect Firefox and Chrome to take the number one and two spots. It's just a matter of when, and who'll be the new king. [ComputerWorld] [/span] |

I was a faithful FF user, but after the last few itterations, I've left, and have now been dabbling with Opera on a few recommendations.

Just go look at benchmark comparisons. Chrome is the superior browser.

At the moment I have 7 tabs open on Safari, 6 open on Opera, 5 open on Chrome with 4 open and slowly dropping on Firefox.
Set me know when I can get Explorer for Macs, OK?

I like chrome , however I'm not a fan of sending google data. And before anyone says it - even when you turn off monitoring it STILL uses your computer to scrape data for google on private sites. There's no way around it other than using Iron, but then if I wanted to use Iron I would.

FF had a very cool add-on that would load the next page of a forum. As you scrolled down, it would load the 3rd page, etc.
Is anything like that available for Chrome? |

I want to like Chrome, mostly because it is HTML5 compatible, but FF7 is what I use. FF6 had some issues, and it seems like everything is fixed with FF7. I also couldn't live without the add-ons.

Funny that just as I was reading this thread I decided to check the version number of my FF, and it was downloading the new v7. It just restarted. I wonder how this will work out.

I noticed more and more things stopped working with FireFox, usually highly sensitive things like my 401k account, bill pay with my bank. Also kept crashing like crazy. Started to remind me of IE in the 90's.
I switched to Chrome. There are things about it that irk me because I am so used to FF, but websites work and it doesn't crash. |

Where are the "tools" and other things you usually can access to change settings in Chrome? For example, I want to have new links open in a new window instead of a tab - how do I do that? Thanks, |
