State of the Browser: Chrome closes on Firefox, IE6 dying out

In the continuing browser wars, 2011 was a bad year for Microsoft and Mozilla. Google was the big success, nearly doubling its market share.

I gave chrome about 5 minutes when it was new. I didn't like the search/url bar or (what I see as) the lack of configuration ability, compared to FF.

I use firefox because I like it. I have my plugins, I have my comfort with it. It doesn't mess with my bookmarks or my addons (anymore).

I'd like to hear from some of Chrome's more articulate evangelicals: why do you like it, and what makes you recommend it to others?


ON a side note, does anyone have the same URL bookmarked in separate folders in Firefox? My mom would like to do that to aid her crossreferencing but she says FF deletes the duplicate.

Thanks to those who answered my questions. I worried after I posted that it might be taken as trollbait and that was not my intention. Chrome is popular, and I don't care for it, so I wanted an explanation. Thanks, I got a lot of informative responses.

Thanks also to those who posted fixes for my mom's bookmark issue. I'll send her the link to the Tag and copy/pasting manually will work for now.
