Chrome

Chrome is still my primary desktop browser. The desktop version has thousands of extensions, apps, plugins, and themes. These extend a basic browser in many useful ways. Add in an excellent set of developer tools, plus the ability to use several different user profiles simultaneously, and it’s a great tool. And it’s the basis for an entire operating system: chrome OS.

Chrome Mobile: not so good

The features that make Chrome such a worthwhile desktop browser are unfortunately not present in its mobile form on Android devices. There are no plugins available, nor is support for them planned. Blocking ads is built in, but half-baked. Any other cool plugins? Not there. Page rendering and speed is OK, but Firefox definitely wins that contest.

Despite its shortcomings, I heartily encourage everyone to check out both Chrome and Firefox instead of the built-in browsers on Windows (Internet Explorer) and MacOS (Safari).
