Chrome was much faster and more stable than Firefox for a time, but they're similar now.

This is my recollection, when chrome first came out it seemed significantly faster than IE and Firefox at the time, and Google was much less evil big brother at the time.

So it's only feasible to prevent a monopoly now, because it's convenient? Disregarding the huge inconvenience a monopoly always result in!

Yes, but not because I didn't try. I tried Opera and Konqueror for a time and they had some serious rendering problems. Being on the Internet all day for work I kinda just need a browser that works. Firefox is that for me now, but it wasn't always up to the task.
