Why I still choose Firefox

Colour Managed Browsing

Having worked and studied digital media, the importance of colour accuracy has been hammered into me.  Firefox allows proper colour managed output so that you see every image as intended.  A simple switch by typing about:config into your browser address bar, searching for gfx.color_management.mode and changing the value from 2 to 1.

I like my addons and so I keep using Firefox.  Until HTML 5 rolls around as a prominent standard on the web I see no reason to switch to Chrome.  In the event that it does, Safari offers all the advantages in HTML 5 that Chrome has, as well as being colour managed.
