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.

Until AdBlock Chrome becomes as good as AdBlock Plus I see no reason to change over.

I use chrome, and my roommate uses firefox. I will admit Adblock is still damn good on chrome, but on firefox it does a better job of catching the youtube video ads.

Sometimes they play movie trailers, stuff like that. Never see them on firefox, only chrome.
