no, I like chrome because it's what firefox was before it fell victim to its own success. lightweight, quick, and with a streamlined kernel that's far less susceptible to handling exceptions and device conflicts every time a plugin launches.
So, that's the problem with Firefox these days? Too top-heavy?
it's a vicious cycle. you make an open-source browser modular so people can pick and choose their own addons. developers - many of them amateur with very little programming background - roll out fucktons of extensions/plugins/filler to add onto it. certain fractions (fucklings?) of said fucktons require additional resources not originally reserved by the browser kernel. shit has to be tacked on so the browser is compatible with more addons. tacked-on shit allows developers to make new and exciting fucktons of filler. rinse and repeat. that's not even accounting for
reputable developers' updates and new versions of java, flash, silverlight, &etc. before long, even if you're not using any of the available addons, the core of your browser still has to theoretically support them, meaning your system has to load an increasingly hefty kernel with an increasingly hefty library of extensions. chrome's headed that way; it'll just take longer (I hope) since google's had the benefit (I think) of seeing firefox go this route first.
