Here's a couple of reasons why:
  • More sites are displayed correctly
  • Much more personalization options compared to other browsers such as Google Chrome and Opera.
  • I find that Firefox is much more stable and uses much less RAM than Google Chrome
  • Many add-ons available.


I'd recommend that anyone who hasn't tried Firefox, to do so. I bet that you'll stick with Firefox!

Chrome/Chromium probably runs slightly ahead of Firefox when it comes to HTML5/CSS3 support. They both use the HTML5 standard parser so parsing normal web pages shouldn't produce a difference -- I don't know if there's a problem for broken pages. Firefox may display some very broken pages more correctly than Chrome/Chromium, yet no significant differences.

As for stability, Chrome/Chromium does better in design, notably process isolation and sandbox. I have encounter numerous strange issues, freezes, and crashes on Firefox yet they rarely happen on Chrome/Chromium. However, I believe Chrome/Chromium uses much more memory than Firefox. Firefox also goes quite far ahead on extensions and customizations. Chrome/Chromium has a set of superior builtin web development tools.

After using Firefox for 7+ years, well, I bet I wish to switch to Chromium... If there isn't NoScript...

Huh, and, I'm talking about Firefox/Chromium on a PC.
