I've used chrome because it was faster than Firefox ( and didn't crash so often ). I've switched to Firefox a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. It seems that all the stability issues were resolved. I urge everyone to do the same.
I just switched today. After installing the omnibar extension and removing the ugly bar in the bottom, if feels just as comfortable as Chrome.
I bet that this is a preventive PR diversion for something else. Google is anything but stupid. Given current post-Snowden climate they surely realize that something as obnoxiuos as built-in browser tracking is going to raise a storm of discontent. But they have decided to realize this information anyway. So they let this stew a little and suggest some alternative, probably as nasty, but it will look mild in comparis…

does the scrolling feel a bit weird on Firefox? to me it felt a bit too smooth or animated

You're most likely right, in that most people don't care about being tracked, but Google still isn't solving the basic problem, they are just working around the cookie restrictions. The focus should be on making a profit, while respecting peoples privacy.
I honestly don't mind being tracked. I don't know if it's just me but I prefer targeted advertising than just generic one. It's always more relevant and I do end up purchasing. Without tracking, there would be no targeted advertising.

Which one would you recommend I get? Am currently using Chrome and wouldn't mind switching to FF.
I'm currently using Nightly UX. I've been using it for quite awhile and I haven't had any problems with it. That being said, you should keep in mind that this is a pre-alpha release and it wouldn't be surprising to run into some problems. If your browsing experience heavily depends on extensions, I'd recommend you not to use Nightly, though. I only use NoScript and AdBlock Edge as my extensions, but if you install 10…

I've been using Firefox as my main browser for a couple of years now. It's really getting better in every build. And Vimperator is not available for Chrome. Nowadays my biggest reason to stay with Firefox is that I trust Mozilla more than I trust Google.

Now, I can't stand that there is never a sidebar in Chrome for things like Todoist, and you have that annoying pop-down menu instead. Firefox even lets you use extensions that radically alter the interface, such as the really convenient Tile Tabs[1], without any noticeable slowdowns.
I used to switch back and forth, using Firefox if I was using a extension for some specific task, then back to Chrome for everything else, but now Firefox just never seems to slow down much, so there's no reason.

>Those are features that don't focus on the UX or the design. I think that build is labeled Aurora Nope, Aurora is something else. It's the build after Nightly. Nightly includes pre-alpha releases, Aurora includes alpha releases. You are however correct that Nightly and Nightly UX are not the same thing. Although if I'm not mistaken the only difference between two of them is that Nightly UX also gets pre-alpha UI cha…
