There was only 1 thing that made me switch back to firefox: Extensions. Without adblock and gmail notifyer, I dont know how I would live (or know when I get emails :P)

uninstalled it --- just like Safari

I used it for a few days but uninstalled it --- just like Safari. Because of a few security issues.

I think Google made this Browser for their own marketing purposes.

Firefox works fine for me. Even though no browser is perfect.

I liked the "most visited sites" home page

I liked the "most visited sites" home page, but that wasn't enough to get me to give up the FF Awesome bar for long.  The google search address bar is ok.

No extensions.

Submitted by brainwins on Wed, 09/24/2008 - 8:36am

For me it was the lack of extensions that got me back fo FF. That and I really didn't see the huge speed boost on Chrome. I mean pages load fast enough with FF in my opinion.

Couldn't copy/paste either

Couldn't copy/paste either inside a tab or between tabs. That was my deal breaker.

"The data also has brought to light another peculiar trend: usage of
Google’s browser shoots considerably in the evening and wanes during
working hours."

People use Chrome in the evening at home, but not when they are at work or school during the day, when they likely can't.  How is this peculiar?

I'm simply waiting for them

I'm simply waiting for them to add the Firefox extensions I can't stand to be without.

I agree

it's not that it's not badass. i think that people are going back because its not fully developed yet. Once they get everyting figured out and put together Chrome is gonna be one awsome browser.

 who knows if they will beat out firefox but we'll see

Waiting on More Features

Submitted by Andrew Perkins on Wed, 09/24/2008 - 6:40am

I am one of those early Chrome adoptors that moved back to FireFox after playing with the browser for a couple of weeks.

My reason for doing so is likely not to be different from that of others: lack of extensions and important features. I can't access my RSS feeds and I don't have my extensions I use everyday.

None the less, I still use Chrome on occasion, when I know I am not planning on using these features I rely on FF for... if, for example, I am going to be visiting some PHP message boards, I'll stick with Chrome because of its significantly faster loading times.

Chrome has (so far) won me over. Once the features I crave are available, I will likely be moving straight to it....
