Will I ever use Firefox again?

Well of course I will. But not as much. Chrome had already replaced it as my default browser, just on the basis of how fast it loads. And now that Chrome has extensions, my Firefox use is diminishing.

There are still some extensions I prefer in Firefox. I like Firebug for javascript debugging and element style inspection. The AccuWeather plug-in for Firefox is better than the Chrome one, because it displays the five day forecast all the time, as opposed to doing it on one click.

But that’s probably why Firefox loads so slow. Chrome is still loading really fast with the following extensions installed:

  • AccuWeather
  • Google Wave notification: (lets you know if you have unread Waves)
  • ChromeBird: Twitter client. Not in love with the fonts, though.
  • Feedly: I go back and forth on whether I like my regular RSS reader (RSS Bandit) or Feedly.
  • Chrowety: Another Twitter client. Trying to decide which I like better. What’s with that name, anyway?

That’s just after one day of checking out extensions. I’m sure the list will change. But my preference for Chrome probably won’t.

    My biggest plugin is probably IE Tab just because of the number of sites that I go to that are exclusive. That and I heavily rely on NoScript & AdBlockPlus to remove ads & prevent Javascript. Oh, and ForecastFox. 🙂 I’ve only used Chrome once when it first came out, so it may be time to give it a “look-see” again.

    Since those all exist as Chrome extensions (well, not ForecastFox, but other weather extensions) it is probably time to try it again.
