As a dev, FF was my go-to utility browser due to Firebug. Google released Chrome, and I found myself using FF rarely.

I rebuilt a laptop recently. After loading it up with software, it was a good 3 weeks before I even noticed that I didn't have FF installed.



I've had a similar experience. I've really come to appreciate Chrome's built in developer tools and have pretty much left Firebug in the dust.


I'm in the opposite boat. I find firebug easier to use for the limited use cases I encounter (mostly scraping html id tags) than Chrome's dev tools.

That said, I still far prefer Chrome as a browser.
