Firefox has really been slowing down my PC the past couple months, but I've always been skeptical of Chrome. I started using it on my phone and it seems cool on Android.

Should I make the switch on desktop too?

It used to be, but now it is about the same, or maybe a bit worse. Addons are much better on Firefox.

Chrome isn't even superior to IE11 let alone Firefox.

The only reason it's so fast is because it hogs the fuck out of resources.

Is IE11 really that good? I thought it was just a consolation prize for downloading Windows 10.

I use it as a makeshift Adobe, because it doesn't crash every time I open a second PDF.

Truth. Seeing as they are removing 99% of extensions and functionality from Firefox.

As of V 55 it's better, they fixed that memory issue.

Chrome is shit now. Switched to Firefox a couple years ago because Chrome was fucking chugging, even with total reinstallations.

Chrome takes me about 2 minutes for my cpu to settle down but after that it is great.

Firefox is better for privacy / ad-blocking at least: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/support-ublock-origin/6746/451

In terms of speed, I don't notice too much difference on my own systems. Firefox is more customizable too I think.

If you care about speed / don't care about privacy/customization, Chrome is probably the better choice.

In November Firefox is removing all "legacy" extensions, which is basically anything superior that Firefox has on Chrome and then some.

Chrome doesn't support multi-line tabs and it doesn't remember the save location I previously saved to nor does it warn when overwriting a file. It is inferior

Started using Chrome at some point last year and haven't looked back. In a lot of ways, it's much better than Firefox.
