Regarding translation of web pages – I think that Google’s bookmarklets* are much less intrusive options compared to annoying Chrome’s “drop-down-toolbar”.

I like both FF and Chrome, but I prefer FF.

Yes, Chrome is little faster on startup, but that is only second or two.

What I miss in Chrome is (for me) much bigger problem:
– no option to Open (zip) files from Net, only to Save (and very often I just want to open ZIP, see what is inside and close it)
– no possibility to auto-hide that boring download bar
– I hate fact that Chrome is NOT installed in Program Files folder
– no separators in Bookmarks
– no RSS reader
– no warning when closing Chrome with many opened tabs
etc

So, yes, Chrome is not bad for users that don’t request many options, or that like to have built-in Flash, but (at least for now) I will continue to use Firefox as my default browser.

On Linux, I have got better results from Firefox than Chrome. May be, this is the reason why many Linux distributions have made Firefox as their default browser.

On Windows, I would prefer Chrome over Firefox. Firefox is more probable to face problems like crashing, hanging in Windows environment.

It is the same. Chrome is best for regular browsing as it is fast and clutter free. Firefox is more reliable for doing some professional work.

I also use Opera. But, many websites are now withdrawing support for Opera. Nonetheless, it is a rock solid browser with some excellent features.

I prefer Chrome than firefox. As a web developer Chrome supports more HTML5 features than Firfox. And also more extension awesome browsing experience.

In reply to Tonmoy Goswami. Hey Tonmoy, Even I use Firefox as Default browser on Windows but really never noticed the Font issue on Chrome. But now, when you have told me about it, comparing it side by side.

You forgot to mention that font smoothing in Firefox is way too much better than Chrome. Most fonts on Chrome looks jagged, but is very smooth in Firefox. Last heard, the Chrome devs were still trying to fix it.
I prefer Firfox over Chrome.

As all you know that Firefox consumes lots of memory so i’ve switched to Chrome.
