Not to mention, but you can literally customize every single part of Firefox. You can move things around, omit them if you wish, make things larger, some things smaller, even change the entire layout. Firefox is open sourced. 100% of it. There are awesome security addons, one of which is Noscript, which still has no equivalent alternative on Chrome. (NotScripts doesn't have anything on Noscript.) Let's look at Chrome. They are ran by a company which specializes in advertising, targeted ads, and has done some sketchy stuff: Censorship in China, NSA cooperation, Forced Google Plus integration. There is built in tracking software, a unique ID, which cannot be turned off, and other details like that. There is very limited customization. Sure, you can move your addon icons around, but beyond that, there isn't much. It is opensourced 90%. (Excluding the Flash Player and built in PDF reader) Google has also sought to make it impossible to install extensions outside of the Chrome Web Store. They have not implemented it yet, but there is a deadline for it. Firefox has no such plans to do so. So I like the company, the security addons, and the customization options, so my browser of choice is Firefox.
