Firefox Users Migrating to Google Chrome

[TALHA]

According to the data, by the end of July Firefox claimed an 18.3 percent share of all desktop browsers, which denoted an 11 percent decline over the past two months. Conversely, Google Chrome's user share stood at 17.8 percent, which was up 2 points since May.

Which camp do you prefer? Are you going to switch browsers like the data suggests or are you happy where you are?

I used to use firefox but something happened and it refused to open so i changed to chrome, i cant be bothered to go back to firefox.

Firefox has a lot of stability issues with win64bit so waterfox is needed.
However I really dislike the lack of privacy & tracking that goes on with google chrome and that's why I refuse to use it.

I use Palemoon as a redistro of Firefox and I still really like it. I have Chrome installed too as a secondary browser though.

I once used Chrome, but then it began performing extremely slowly, so I switched to Firefox.

 

However, I'm now in the process of switching back to the new version of Chrome. When it's running great, it's just faster and easier to use than Firefox, to me.

That must have been an old version, because I haven't noticed any issues in the current version.

 

I use both Chrome and Firefox.

I use Chrome as a daily driver and Firefox when I know I will be reading alot - because Firefox has better (cleaner, sharper)  text rendition.

I'm happy with Firefox as my main browser.

Firefox frequently crashes for me, perhaps it's the stupid flash plugin, but I made sure I updated all things flash.

What version do you have?

[Exyn0s]

I use Chrome, but I use to be a huge fan of Firefox and I used it on all of my devices. I really loved the themes made by the Firefox community, some of those were really awesome. However, after a lot of peer pressure and becoming an avid user of everything Google, I switched to Chrome. I will say that I never had any compatibility issues with Firefox or anything like that, and I still think it's a fantastic browser.

I use Chrome since it's easier cause I own android device's...

[thexzenon]

Am currently using Chrome, switched from Firefox. I usually switch every few weeks between browsers, but Firefox is still my favourite, I can't wait for the Australis update to make its debut. Main advantages of Chrome are the build-in Flash (one less thing to download and care about updating) and the tab management; when Firefox or a plugin crashes, it crashes for good.

[robobeat]

I am reluctant on losing my firefox. I actually use Pale Moon right now, perfect for my win7 x64 install. I have tried chrome and have it still installed, but I miss the flexibility I have with firefox / pale moon (like simply move the tabs below the address bar, which is impossible with chrome). And in combination with the IE tab plugin (and off course a whole lot more) its the perfect fit for me, really.

 

However, firefox does have his bad sides, like memory hogging. It can go up to 2gb of ram use (yes, I have a lot of tabs opened, as well as a lot of pale moon sessions).

I use 3 browsers, all with different purposes, Firefox with script blocking, tracker blocking, sandboxed, etc, for dodgy websites and the huehue stuff, Google chrome for this and that, I.E for streams and such.

[bluepoodleguy]

I use Firefox. It gets the job done and I've had few stability issues.

[Villain]

I don't understand the debate between browsers. You can use multiple browsers, you aren't limited to just one. I use both Firefox and chrome, almost equally. Hell, I even use Opera at times. 

[Beskamir]

I use Firefox but really firefox and chrome only occupy about 30%-40% of desktops as the main browser? What do the other 50%-60% use?

[EChondo]

I first used Firefox, it eventually became slow and to redundant for me, then I used Google Chrome, but then that too became way to resource dependent, now I'm using Opera 15 and I am very happy with it.

[Esivo]

Wait.. Didn't all Firefox users migrated to Chrome like 3 years ago?

[Inkz]

Firefox

[mgsstar]

Like Chrome more than firefox because of its fast startup time.

[James_AJ]

[ExDreamer]
