It bypasses the awful scroll by line that Windows uses to produce a smooth, touchscreen like scrolling when you use your scrollwheel. It's been removed from chrome for about 2 years iirc and I'm glad they brought it back.

Took them long enough. Firefox's smooth scrolling is still way better.

Customisation and the fact it's open source is what keeps me using Firefox. Also the font rendering is much better. The only problem is that it breaks fairly often for me and I switch to Opera until I find a fix. Speed-wise, webkit browsers are still way better, there's no denying that.

It simply would not stop crashing for me and I got beyond fed up with it

The crashing for me was mostly because of Flash. Running it on "Ask to activate" and allowing it only on trusted sites is a workaround that fixed most of them. After the multiprocess support (E10S) gets pushed to the release channel, Firefox may become pretty stable. It's still Mozilla though, they might find a way to break something else. The Developer Edition feels way snappier than the current stable version so I have hopes.
