I use Chrome and Firefox because some sites work better on FF, while others work better on Chrome.
@Anthony Godinho Thanks for posting your comment. Firefox and Chrome both are good and I’ve the latest versions of both Firefox and Chrome installed but most of the times I use Chrome because it is light and uses multi-processes giving most priority to working tab. Also being a heavy user how many tabs I may open I’ve never seen Chrome hanging (stops responding) or crashing with errors.
