I don't know why I'm watching, windows should be watching this and taking notes because at first IE 9 was fast and eventually got slow and chrome still same speed, But I'm happy I know how it works.

It has less bugs running different codes of web site and less memory leaks than firefox or opera. Plus it's faster than firefox.

But I think UI of firefox is more comortable for experienced users, some advanced tasks on it are made quicker and simplifer to use.

For example media browsing of current page and downloading photos when normal photo download menus are disabled on site itself, is easier on firefox

Actually I am searching solution to opposite of this. When I'm at watching youtube videos I wish chrome would use more bandwith than it does. My modem says that internet connection is over 4,7megabits per second, and while loading youtube videos on chrome, net balancer shows that chrome uses mostly only 15-35kilobytes per second, which is only 120-280 bits per second, while it could use over 4megabits to load videos.

The only advantage Chrome has is ease of use!

Chrome is definitely one of the best browsers, don't act like it isn't.

All browsers have their pros and cons.

And why do you like Chrome more except that it's "easier to use"?

Chrome is a piece of shit, It is meant for n00bs, Firefox is much better, and I hate chrome fanboys screaming "OMGZ CHROME IZ D BEST!!!1!!!!111111!!!!" everywhere they go, Seriously if you need a handicap tool to use the web, Don't scream about it everywhere!
