I recently moved from Chrome to Firefox due to Chrome continually freezing and crashing. Firefox does none of this. I place the blame squarely on Google. Go to hell, Google. You're product plaguing antics are more annoying that a talking gerbil with a high pitched singing voice.

Thank you for explaining the terrible joke I had.

Unusual to see someone switching that direction. I'm still using FF myself (albeit an ancient version), but lately I've been hearing more and more people say they're getting fed up with the excessive updates, interface changes and bloat, and switching to Chrome.

I switched from Chrome because of the extremely frequent crashes and slowness.

Internet explorer is awful. It's the slowest, ugliest, most prone to virus browser in history.

I'd prefer constant updates to constant crashing. Constant updates mean that the people are actively trying to make the provider better with each passing day.

I prefer they got it right eventually and stopped sucking my data allowance away with continual updates that mess with everything that went before *sighs*

Pretty obvious what features we want - why not make a browser with those - allowing addons for those that want additional things and then leave the bloody thing alone lol

That's what I wish they'd do too. I do realize of course that technology moves on, so they do have to update once in a while. Like pages use so much godawful javascript nowadays that, as much as I hate it, a browsers has to be able to interpret it really fast to be practical for most people.

But jeez.

uhhh... opera ftw?

Not very often updated, stable, kind of fast, has some plugins. But not very popular and doesn't have as much addons as firefox
