I have 4 browsers on my computer (well, 5, but I don't count the text one). And Chrome is the first one I go to. There are some sites that don't work well for it, so keep firefox around for stuff like that.

That is one reason I haven't switched to Chrome. Plus I have 6 (plug-in/add-ons) that make using FF even more enjoyable. Until then FF all the way.

I use nothing but Google Chrome. You might want to install the EXIF extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...kbplhkoiekndck) and maybe an Internet Explorer Emulator extension for a few strange websites.

Chrome has become my default browser both at home and work Too bad our new product doesn't officially support Chrome, but I've found only one problem that doesn't also happen in Firefox and IE8. And some of the newer extensions are really nice.

FF user here, and I love it, but it's such a resource hog... I've been looking for a replacement, maybe I will give Chrome a try.

ABP prevents ads from behind displayed on web pages and videos.

Last I checked, Chrome doesn't recognize color space. Slight difference between it and FF and IE.

I know, my point was that functionality is built into a lot of Antivirus/Internet Security packages so you don't have to use ABP. Having Kaspersky Internet Security blocks ads from being displayed on ALL my browsers at once, without having to download and install something like ABP for each one.
