Firefox. Add-ons, more stability. For me, anyway.
Google chrome just looks weird to me

It was beaten and stabbed to death by its cousins, Firefox and Chrome.

It still is Mozilla Firefox for me.
Admittedly, I am annoyed by the continuous bloat that the mainstream branch of Firefox is putting on (don't care much for the high memory usage & features that I virtually never use). It barely resembles the Firefox I've first used and loved (version 0.7 beta back when Internet Explorer was the only game in town and Netscape Navigator was quickly becoming obsolete). However, it does the job well for me all things considered.
I've tried Google Chrome and it is faster off the bat with relatively low memory usage. However, I find that it's pretty slow at rendering pages. But the worst part of all, it tends to crash (on all the computers that I have) if you open more than two or three tabs of websites with Flash.
Also have problems with rendering issues with Internet Explorer.

I like Chrome :)
Why?
Because its looks cooler, and you can change different layouts (how cool is that? :D)

I have google chrome, but i never use it. It sits on my desktop and taunts me. While speaking of it i'm going to click on it and see what happens.........It was alright :/ Firefox still wins for me though.
