Why I hate firefox

[setanta_wing]

I'm feeling my age today. I logged onto the internet and I saw my cpu usage go up to 80%. I'm not best pleased about this.
I remember the good-ole-daysTM  when the primary goals of firefox were "to be better than IE at everything".
Nowadays, it's slower at processing HTML, slower at executing javascript and uses twice the CPU and twice the RAM.
IE's

Opinions on Chrome? I'm giving it a shot, and for those of us blissfully unaware of any techie info it seems shiny indeed.

I'm also using it, it's very quick, there's no memory leak, and it does javascript very well

It did have a lot of security bugs at launch, but apparently those are either gone, or weren't that big, as at Pwn2Own (a competition where hackers try and break into browsers/Os/etc. chrome made it out unscathed, while IE, safari and Firefox didn't (http://arstechnica.com/security/news/2009/03/chrome-is-the-only-browser-left-standing-in-pwn2own-contest.ars)

Course, the one thing that does still leave is the how much do you trust Google factor, as it remembers your browsing habits, etc. Unless you use porn mode

It really all does boil down to privacy. Google are creepy. Apple are not.
