[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 806002, member: 78686"] It's about comfort too. Privacy concerned people would never prefer Chrome over Firefox. Even Tor Browser is based in Firefox of course. Chrome has some api limitations probably while blocking ads too. The developer uBlock Origin said so. Chrome might also make changes to the api that adblockers can access. The announcement backfired and saw many users already switched to Firefox for that reason. This is one probably not as easy as it sounds on Chrome. On Firefox I can use any of [URL='http://mycroftproject.com/']mycroftproject[/URL]'s search plugins, there's even an addon to basically set any site you want as your search engine. But it's much faster on Chrome than in Firefox. Google promised to fix this problem this year but not sure when. Actually in my case it's totally the opposite. I don't like Chrome's sharp texts. Difficult for my eyes while Firefox's font is much easier on the eyes. On my Windows 10, ClearType is turned on by default which makes the text better in my experience. You can try toggling it on or off. Chrome has/had a Image rendering bug too. Images specially while full screened looked a lot blurry on Chrome but sharp, clear and accurate on Firefox. It's actually a 7-8 year old Chrome bug. I checked it in the middle of last year and it was still the problem. I don't know if it has been fixed now. After pointing this out to two of my friends who uses Flickr a lot, they started using Firefox just to browse Flickr. I doubt it because they tweeted the screenshot of Google earth running in Firefox back in October 2017 if I'm not mistaken. So, surely it's something else. Anyway, browsers, privacy these are personal choices. I happen to be more comfortable with Firefox :giggle: [/QUOTE]
