I use to be a fan of firefox, but switched to chrome because:
1) it became slow to open. FF use to open within a few seconds, it now opened in no less than 30 seconds.
Strike 1.
1) I then noticed during the 30 seconds that ff was accessing my dish access was crazy. A bug report said it was "working as intended" because it was needing to derive encryption keys for ssl by reading my temp data files on disk.
So 30 sec load time from hdd access at startup is working as intended? Strike 2.
3) ff updates brick extensions. They aren't usable after an update. Just annoying to experience each update.
3) I switched my mums pc to chrome after the resent few ff updates. Too much mental energy and effort to click next/yes to each update wizard step, to then see the plugins out of date too etc, just silly.
She asks "whats this" each time ff asked about updates, after doing it a few times recently and teaching her it was ok to say yes to, I sill just replaced it with chrome that eliminated the support overhead for me.
So I had switched to chrome and it opens fast. No crazy disk access.
It doesn't pester me at all about updates, or break things due to new versions. It just works and gets out of my way.
