For one, Chrome is much faster than Firefox. Yes, it is underpowered and lacks all the extra features of Firefox, but man is it fast. Switching from Chrome to Firefox felt like switching from a Bugatti Veyron to a Toyota Camry. The Camry is a nice, reliable car, but I'm a sucker for speed machines. Less features and more speed is exactly what I'm looking for.
The space efficiency in Chrome is awesome. There's no file or edit menus clogging up the top, limiting tab space. With Chrome, the tabs are giant and easy to click/see. I am a heavy tab user, as I always find articles that I want to read or am currently reading and I put it into a new tab. I also always have a number of online programs running, such as Gmail and Facebook. It's nice to have a simple tab system with so much room on top.
The plugins and add-ons on Firefox are great, but I just don't need them. Other users will obviously think differently, but for me (surfing, writing articles, YouTube, Facebook, Gmail, etc) I have no need for extra features. I'd rather take the simple system and extra speed.
Note: there are some online software that still does not support Google Chrome. If you are a heavy user of some of these programs, I recommend not switching your browser.
