For some reason, I don't like Chrome at all. I've had both that and Firefox installed side by side for two years or more but I still find myself using firefox for pretty much everything.

WHen I first used Chrome on desktop, I did the same exact thing. Then on day I just started using more of Chrome's unique features like its apps and then certain things just became noticeably better than what I had in FF. I especially noticed this site and overall web cruisin' to be faster and smoother.

Additionally, FF is a resource hog overall and Chrome has never used as much memory... but that is probably related to my experience in it being faster/smoother. Well, YMMV of course, but this new phone itegration seals the deal for me. Chrome 100% for now.

Yeah, I only use internet on my desktop PC, don't own a smartphone or tablet or anything of the sort. I use Chrome for image browsing since it is faster without a doubt but I still don't like the interface (especially bookmark handling is clunky in Chrome) and the add-on selection and efficiency (pop-up blockers, adblock etc aren't very good in Chrome). This is especially annoying on sites with lots of ads and/or pop-up's, link transfers and redirections.

Then again, Chrome is a relatively young browser and can only get better with time. For now though, Firefox covers my needs more fluently than Chrome for everyday use.
