      something about the way it [chrome] handles memory isolation means i get fewer blue screens at work with all my bloated browser tools loaded at the same time. I have to have ~15 tabs open. It is not my laptop, so I cant go around experimenting with plugins much.

      then again who gives a flying fart if chrome tracks me while i use the same internal browser tools day in and day out?

        I cannot drag my tabs out properly. Its been the dealbreaker for many years for me, they dont fix it, but i just deal with it now because google is too evik.

          That was also my experience with Firefox. I tried it one time because I kept hearing it was better than chrome, and then the absolute first thing I noticed is that they can’t get tab dragging right.

          I don’t care how much more “private” it is than chrome. If you can’t even get the first impression on absolute basic UI elements right, I simply have no faith in your browser

          Maybe I’ll use Firefox when it matures a bit

      Mostly for increased privacy but also additional features. Firefox and it’s forks are usually relatively limited in feature set.

      Speed isn’t a problem on any of them for me.
