the_Monk, The only thing I like about FF is its customizability, but it has a momentum all its own and a rather devoted following, so I don't see the hounds catching the fox any time soon.
Yup, got it in a nutshell... FF ain't going anywhere any time soon. But as always, whether it be an OS war or a browser war, there'll always be somebody who has to say 'my dick is bigger/better than your dick'. And again, it's all a matter of personal preference... what works best for you/the individual.
I don't give a flying fech if somebody wants to use Chrome or Maxthon, whatever, my choice is Firefox because it is customisable and has the extensions I like to use. As for being a memory hog, I don't notice with 32gb of RAM, and it's no slower than IE 11 or other popular browsers, at least not in my experience... and yes, I have tried several browsers in my search for the best, but I always return to Firefox because it is familiar and, to date, the best browser for me.
As to Chrome's 'supposed' speed, it derives that by opening new CPU threads each time you open a new tab or begin a new task, and for mine, I'd rather sacrifice a fraction of my 32gb of RAM than have umpteen CPU threads open at the one time. While it may not affect those who do not browse multiple sites and/or perform multiple tasks - downloading, streaming music and/or video - those who do all of the above are going to notice a perfomance hit while multi-tasking... eg, converting video or music. rendering various layers in PS or PSP, etc, etc, etc... and that's not for me.
