I can't believe it took me so long to discover how wonderful Google Chrome is...
I've been using Firefox for like 5 years straight, and was convinced in my head that it couldn't be beaten... but, as I was installing more and more extensions, it was becoming ridiculously slow and eating up all my RAM, so this morning I decided to install the latest version of Chrome to test it out... wow, amazed at how fast things load! I installed all the same extensions + a few others and it's still ridiculously FAST. What are the reasons why some people are still using Firefox? I did a quick search and pretty much all cool extensions for Firefox are also available on Chrome.

Dunno what extensions you're using but only a small number of the ones I use are available on Chrome.

"NoFollow Simple" is a good one, have also got "PageRank Status" running that doesn't seem to show data most of the time. When you download these extensions it is great how they slot in there straight away. Firefox still seems a better option for building sites, but this will probably change soon and for browsing Chrome is much better. I hate the thought of everyone using Firefox with that damn Adblocker so am glad that general users are moving to Chrome (no doubt due to the speed and the themes).

I don't know what kind of crap you have installed, avatar33, but I have about all the regular extensions you use for web development and SEO and have 20+ tabs open in Firefox and it's only using 300MB of RAM and 1% CPU right now.
When I load a Java game it'll start using about 30% CPU, but that's to be expected. Do keep in mind, I like plenty of screen on my browser and hate having tons of toolbars. So, I use the "Customize" feature and only pull off the parts of the toolbars I want. I assume you don't, which is why it's eating a ton of your resources. |

Seriously though, if Chrome was sending usage information without consent, I'm sure you'd be seeing a ton of lawsuits before now. It's pretty easy to pick up with Wireshark or some other packet monitoring application. |

If I leave it open (which I do most of the time), FF can easily eat 1gb of ram and use about 12% of my CPU power. But it's not a big deal because I've got 8gb of ram and a Core2Quad processor. I run FF, MegaPinger (pinging 100k + sites at a time), Photoshop, Adobe Premier, VLC (I always have a movie of some sort minimized), Opera, Chrome, Safari, IE Tester (I'm a web developer), and a whole mess of folders all at the same time. I'm starting to get out of memory error messages though so I'll soon upgrade to 16gb or 24gb of memory. I'm also considering getting a 256gb SSD, but I can't force myself to do it when I could get 4 2TB hard drives for the same price. :P

Oh, and wait 1 year and that SSD will half in price for the same storage. That trend has been happening for the last few years. In a couple years, SSDs will become the must have since the cost will have dropped so much on them, forcing them to become the norm for hard drives. Right now, it's just not worth the money for that extra 1-3 second less delay in accessing files and 30% faster bootup. |

Try the Firefox 4 beta, it OWNS
FYI: You won't be able to use plugins until they are updated for Firefox 4 though

so you like not being able to add new css styles to existing classes and ids in live view? What's the point of being able to edit shit in real time if I can't add to it. I can code up a landing page without refreshing the browser using firebug

Chrome doesn't have the ability yet to support addons like NoScript (if you browse the web without noscript you are a fucking idiot) and adblock (they ported adblock to chrome but it's a piece of shit). Also, I've never had any problems with FF slowing down or using more than a small amount of ram - even with the shit loads of addons installed over the years.

guys... this shit is so fast I feel like sometimes it loads the page before I even hit Enter LOL (and I have like 10 tabs open). Firefox would be struggling at this point and drinking my 3 GB of RAM like a fish.
I see shitloads of SEO extensions for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/extensions...g=&hl=en&q=SEO even SEOMOZ tools are also available on Chrome. What other tools are you all using that are only available on FF?

mother of god...did not know they added that support for chrome. I slightly stand corrected, lacking the ability to right click and inspect specific parts of the page is still a hindrance, but this is at least a step in the right direction

Nobody has mentioned that Chrome 6 came out yesterday. Chrome > everything else.
