However I also think Chrome's pre-rendering isn't the best thing ever either. I don't want traces of sites in my system that I never actually visited.

If FF would get back to keeping up with new features I'd recommend it, but as it is none of them are perfect.


dunno how long you've been working with this stuff but when I started Netscape had just come out and soon became all the rage. after several years Microsoft finally caught up, Netscape died and IE was pretty much a useful standard until Firefox presented something better. then Firefox got weird and Chrome came along. IE continues to go in and out of usefulness. as a developer I have always had a strong love/hate relationship with Microsoft. they have created (or bought and enhanced) some amazing products like Visual Basic back in the day and more recently C# (with Anders Hejlsberg of Turbo Pascal and Delphi fame) yet they have released some true pigs like FrontPage. IE has, at various times, for me, been both amazing and a pig!
