Author Topic: I switched to full on firefox.  (Read 3035 times)


I switched to full on Firefox around the second to last week in may. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't missed chrome one bit. Firefox is a lot faster, and is more reliable. Hell the addons I have for it I found much more useful than the ones on the chrome store. Though the only complaint that I have with it, is more for the mobile version. It's slower than chrome for mobile, but I'm kind of nullifying it since my phone is a couple years old and doesn't have that much ram and it gets taken up almost already with things such as 24/7 Skype and Steam running in the BG.

TL;DR: I love Firefox and I'm not going back to chrome.

Also, Mozilla's Thunderbird has been a charm for me with e-mail. Especially since I use it to work with IRC.

I can't believe my own arrogance has been holding me back from such a wonderful browser for years.


There are a couple features that I miss from chrome in firefox and you might miss too. Automatic translation of pages (and an option to right click -> translate page) and an icon showing which tabs are playing audio.

meh I tried firefox and it only went slower for me

then you're free to enable it again
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

but in the long run, the people who made the apps should make them again, with better tools

I found that chrome used wayy too many processes. With firefox I'm practically light speed through web pages or whatever I need.

The UI also looks a lot more nicer.
