One quip on this website, why is the text limited to such a small column? I thought it had gutters that my adblock was blocking but it doesn't. The image is literally twice the width of the text. The first row of text only fits "We're living in the Google Chrome" ... and that's it.
It's also nice to use tree style tabs to manage them all, plus you can reclaim the space for the tabs at the top with some css. I couldn't find anything matching this in chrome in terms of stability and ease of use.
I recently ditched both Chrome and Firefox. Now super happy with Safari.
The new firefox is better at power management but since I’m on a Linux laptop it’s now Firefox (no safari on Linux).

>Also, coming from a company who fired his CEO for a private donation made 10 years earlier, claiming it’s a privacy-respecting company is rich. I have to admit this does make me not want to support the Mozilla foundation.
It’s not reason enough to support Google instead.
I use firefox on ubuntu and the performance is terrible. Its constantly crashing, tabs crash individually, it hangs, launching memory heavy websites seems to crash it most often. When I switched to chromium the performance got a lot better.
I use firefox on ubuntu as well and it works very nicely. Its RAM and CPU usage is negligible, sites load very fast, and the developer tools are awesome. I think something is wrong on your system.
That said I still use and prefer Firefox, but I also have to open up Chrome probably once every few weeks for various reasons, and it has occasional abhorrent behavior that I don't experience with any other program on the same machine.

I'll switch back to Firefox the day that happens. I don't think it's a compelling reason until that day though.
That day is already here my friend.
About once a week Firefox bans me from opening new tabs until I reboot it for an update. It promises to return my existing tabs but it never has. For this reason I don't trust it when I'm doing meaningful work.
Which browser is good for meaningful work?
