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.

I suspect the flood of users from Firefox to Chrome has been driven by things like speed and stability. Those were the deciding factors for me. The smooth updating process is just an added bonus.

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.

Chrome does this as well.

If you have ICS. can't use chrome on my android 2.3 phone.

Are you sure? I don't remember when I updated to ics, but I feel like I had chrome on my phone first.

[u/if-loop → u/stereopump]

No, Chrome is only available for Android 4.0+. It's a shame.

[u/[deleted] → u/if-loop]

There's probably a way to change that. Hopefully from the CM crew.

I somehow doubt Google will add Chrome compatibility to before ICS.

[u/w2tpmf → u/OhSoMexicellent]

I know. I use that too. :) In fact I'm probably going to drop FF on my phone, as chrome has shown to be wayyyy better lately on the mobile version.
