Oops !! How fail I am.

What I’d tried to say was ‘Firefox is still my default and favourite browser’

If IE is a browser , Ubuntu is a browser , too. And much better a browser. :D

because having to browse to tmp is tedious compared to clicking just one button while watching, plus you can use cache only after it’s fully downloaded. I can start a video, commence downloading and close the page and just watch it later from the disk.

Adblock plus works poorly in Chrome, also as a blogger and website editor, I like ctrl+b to bolden text in wysiwyg editors online. Small deal? Maybe for someone that doesn’t blog / edit, but in Chrome it shows / hides the bookmarks bar. WOW that’s useful, we better replace ctrl+c with some needless GUI shortcut too.

I don’t really know why you would ever need flash video downloader extensions… the video files are conveniently available in /tmp or chromium’s cache.

I do however agree that Chromium’s adblock is less sufficient than Firefox’s. However aside from that, Chromium is far faster and superior to Firefox in my opinion (though I do feel bad supporting Google over Firefox)

Chrome in Ubuntu had failed to split Thai word correctly and all vowels and tone mark were jumbled up. Never been fixed.

Ubuntu is still default browser for me.

If I was able to customise the task bar how I have it set in Firefox I would use it, Chromium is on my system waiting for it to catch up with FF.

Yeah one would think they would tamper somehow. :)

Anyway Epiphany > Chrome is what I think. I still like Chrome though.

It all looks fine, but still 90% of extensions I use on Firefox either have no equivalents on Chrome, or have them but work terribly. (e.g. all flash video downloaders). After all this time and chrome hype still no other browser allows as much customization as Firefox. So no, chrome is nowhere near to being a real competition.

Awww… a website that probably makes revenue out of Ads is specifically mentioning the Adblocker extension. Brave heart :)

I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser for a few months now but the lack of the gecko-media-player plugin it’s a huge downsize from Firefox.
