Not happy with the corporate actions of Mozilla. Looking for a replacement. Pros/cons of alternatives?

Latest version of IE is pretty good. I use it interchangeably with Firefox. My only gripe with firefox is that sometimes when you close the browser down, the process is still running. Sometimes even ending process from task manager does not kill it - have to restart the comp. The latest IE has been pretty stable for me (running win 8.1). No experience with Chrome.
I am guessing you are upset about Mozzila CEO being out of job?

I've become a Chrome fan.  Use it exclusively now.  I'm not happy with Firefox's choices, either, and won't be using them again.

Went to Chrome from Firefox a couple of years ago.  Never looked back.

I tried Chrome and hated it.  Guess I'll stay with FF.  Can't stand IE either.

Just didn't like the way it acted.  Can't remember exactly what it was but I tried it for about a week and went back to FF.

I did the same thing the first time I tried Chrome.  Eventually gave it another shot and never looked back.

Firefox uninstall...Chrome installed. All bookmarks, passwords, etc. migrated flawlessly. Butt dyno says it might be a bit faster.

If you don't like FF due to corp decisions you darn sure shouldn't like Chrome (google).

Pistole, If you're speaking of me here then you are coming out of left field with this, you also have misconstrued my issues with Mozilla corporate. Not cool.
