i am not a google chrome user for 2 reasons
ReplyDelete1) in laptop, chrome does not support three finger down swipe which takes user to end of a page. but, for firefox, they have that feature
2) they say chrome is much faster than firefox. however, there are many tutorials found in net that demonstrate how to speed up firefox..
but i guess more people are satisfied with chrome. :D
Maybe because developing countries tend to search for a better opportunity for their daily lives. Google Chrome has been their tool into getting ideas for everything. But personally I am more into Firefox than Google Chrome.
ReplyDeleteReasons why I prefer Chrome over firefox:
ReplyDelete1. Features = It has most if not all of the features of Firefox
2. Speed = it's faster than Firefox
3. Stability = it doesn't crash as often as Firefox
It's basically Firefox++. Although I noticed that the speed difference is not felt very much if you're under a LAN with proxy, more so with additional web filter software.
