Cons to switching to Chrome

• Less people use it, smaller market share
• Doesn’t have firebug extension (no longer an issue, extension came out since starting use)
• Doesn’t have pixel perfect extension
• Doesn’t have yslow extension
• Doesn’t have developer toolbar extension (Most tools in the developer toolbar are replaced by multiple extensions)
• I am use to using Firefox (no longer an issue)
• Firefox Has been around for a few years
• Unable to do a full screen capture of a website with extensions (no longer an issue, extension came out)
• Unable to not save all data automatically (no cookies, history, downloads, etc (small issue))
• Unable to control sessions  (no longer an issue, extension came out)
• Limited right click menu, no “copy email address”, no “properties for images” etc.
• Runs multiple processes in the task manager all labeled “Chrome”, it would be nice if they were labels something more useful, like “Chrome: NYTimes.com” which would be the name of the tab.
