Soooo

I decided to install and use Google Chrome instead of Firefox.

Is there any Ad Blocker ad on or anything like Firefox has??

I don't know if it is because I use chrome a lot more, but when I do use firefox, it takes about 5 seconds longer to load the browser.

Depends what you're browsing

Videos, Heavy Graphics - FireFox

Casual Browsing - Chrome

No.

Especially if you have come to love many of the add ons with Firefox. There are a ton that aren't available on Chrome.

Zotero, Downthemall, and Ubiquity are all things that I use pretty much daily that I wouldn't want to go without.

Chrome can be useful and is better for some people but not everyone.

I will never go back to Firefox, unless Chrome somehow crumbles (or Firefox changes things big time).

Chrome operates so much better for me. It is better in every aspect of browsing for me. It blocks more adds, including pop-ups.

Overall, no complaints.

I used IE for so long, and day I decided to give Chrome a shot....and never have looked back.

I know for a fact its about 100x more stable than IE, and 200x faster browsing.

I never tried firefox, but Im just a "casual browser" of the web, so it works for me.

I prefer Chrome over Firefox, but I still prefer Safari over both.

I hand coded my own browser using assembly. It's better than all of those.

I like some of the things Opera does. I have all the browsers installed just because I'm a big nerd who likes trying new software a lot.
