Chrome vs Firefox?

I have been using Firefox for years...thinking of switching to Chrome.
Just asking what you use, what you like, any general likes or dislikes?

  • Firefox is plagued by memory leaks and buggy updates. Now it is leaving behind its strongest benefit- addons.

    Mozilla has also adopted the "idiot's interface" for configuration. Moving and hiding options and configurations is a page from winblows' playbook.

    Every few "updates" loses a fair number of addons.

    Recently Firefox is difficult to install and run/test multiple versions, with no rollback feature.

    If you run ff update, it is a one way trip. If you lose features or functionality, too bad.

    After many, many years of firefox usage, I am on the fence.

    I have used Firefox ever since it broke off from Mozella.

    I Switched to Chrome as my primary bowser. I also have the Microsoft offerings on board but only use EDGE for local stuff (Lan not WAN).
  • I use Chrome mostly, but still use FF on occasion. Why are you switching?

    I use LastPass also.

  • Got a new computer and decided to switch all to Edge. Not unhappy with it. I do keep FireFox as a backup.

  • Are you having problems with Firefox? Other than it's memory leak, which they seem to have gotten under control with the latest update. I use all three: IE, Chrome, and Firefox. But I use Firefox for most of my browsing. I'm just not that crazy about Chrome's interface. Just personal preference.
