I switched back to Firefox two or three years ago. It was tough at first but now that I have it setup for me, I like it so much better than Chrome. Very little noise, ad-free most of the time.

Now I only use Chrome when I'm shopping because that's the only thing it's good for.

For shopping? That can also be done via Firefox.
