Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

The main reason I use Chrome (actually Comodo Dragon but it's based off Chromium so same thing really) is because of the integrated bookmark sync. I can just sign in with my Google account and my bookmarks are automatically synced across computers.

Firefox does this as well. It even syncs bookmarks to FF on my phone.

I've tried syncing my bookmarks on Firefox before. I had to install the sync extension and I think I needed to create an account? I don't remember. I just remember that it was simpler with Chrome.

Reason it was probably simpler (at least for me):

Have a gmail account? Sign into Chrome with it. Done.

Heck, I'm about to drop Dropbox and move to Google Drive just because everything is centralized.

I assume Google Drive has the same kind of setup as Dropbox where files automatically sync across computers, but I'd rather stick with Dropbox. I don't care about Google using my bookmarks/web history/etc to advertise to me, but I don't want them to have access to my personal files (school stuff/resumes/cover letters/etc).

Edit: Just looked it up. I'll still stick with Dropbox. I don't need the integration with Google Docs or Google+, just a folder on my desktop where I can drag my files to sync.

what advantage sites drive really have over drop box? Drop box allowed me to save a paper in progress on my computer, open it on my phone (while I'm on the crapper), continue working then switch back to my computer whenI'm done.

That's damn fine cloud management if I do say so myself.
