    I much prefer Chrome to FF. Here's another selling point... Chrome's update process is largely invisible. No annoying patch popup every 20 minutes like you get with Firefox. Excepting major version patches, all chrome patches are pushed behind the scenes. It might not seem like much but I really enjoy that aspect of it.

    I tried Chrome but didn't like it much, especially when I found that some HITs are completely incompatible with it.

    Muidem, I've never had a patch popup with FF except when I plugged an old laptop into our home network (it had FF3.X on it and I got an update thing immediately).

    I haven't used it in several years, honestly. I do remember though that I used to get patch updates all the time and it is apparently still a problem

    Now that the block requester script works in Chrome again I am back to using it all the time.

    I mostly use chrome and have been very happy with it. I usually have a copy of FF open as well just in case a HIT works better in that browser. For most of my tasks I find Chrome is just a little bit faster.

    I love firefox, but it does have some memory leak issues which can get annoying. Those are the times when I'll use chrome.

    I tried using chrome, but it just didn't feel right, even though what everybody's saying about ff having too many updates is true. just try whatever you're comfortable with.

    I've found that Chrome's javascript rendering is much faster than Firefox for some websites. I still use Firefox for my main browser because there's so many useful extensions, but I'll switch over to Chrome for certain websites or tasks.

    Personally I've always prefered Chrome, but hear it uses up more memory. Personally I always find Firefox to be too laggy for my tastes.

    I too switch back and forth between chrome and FF. I've tried playing with the "under the hood" section of chrome, but I find that I had a lot of problems with plugins crashing and all sorts of weird stuff starts happening until I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del.
