Chrome vs. Firefox: Round 1

For the past 2 months, I have used Google Chrome as my primary web browser. I have been a fan of it mostly, but today my primary browser changes to Firefox. Here are the reasons why:

• Does not work with my.Live.com,
• Unexpected outages where audio fails and browser must be restarted,
• YouTube videos do not play correctly (they stop playing at 2 seconds and have no audio),
  
• Issues with other Flash video players and Silverlight crashing the browser or not playing,
• If I switch my display between projector, external monitor or laptop screen, I need to restart Chrome to resize the browser window,
  
• Homepage too addictive.

The last one is a low blow I suppose but I like the web's variety and my typical homepage is my.Live.com where I have 50 RSS feeds delivering me continually updated content. With Google Chrome, I could not access Windows Live and ultimately my browsing habits were reduced 80% to just the 10 'most popular' sites. It made the internet boring. [I'm sure there is some sort of add-on or customization I could do, but why do I need to try harder? I'm the customer right?]

The final straw was that Google Chrome would not render Thrivepoint.com due to a Wordpress redirect. Lame. I'm switching back to Firefox for a while to see if I miss Chrome or can manage without it.

A word on Internet Explorer: It is too slow. Defaults to opening new windows instead of tabs. The tool bars take up almost 1/4 of the screen (I want to see the whole website without needing to know to hit 'F11'!). I do use it everyday though: It is the only browser where Web-based Outlook access is 'premium'. (Note: Thrivepoint is on Google Apps, but one of my clients is on Outlook). So I use it but for nothing else except working with that client's email.
