At rendering some pages correctly than Chrome. For a while, I was using Chrome mostly and on many occasions, I had to switch to Firefox because some pages weren't rendered like they are supposed to. In certain areas, Chrome is ahead of FireFox.

Beside that, I feel more assured about my personal data and browsing trends. I sometimes have Kwallet active and Chrome requests authorization to perform some function, which it doesn't indicate what for and I haven't taken the time to determine what it is. I haven't noticed any such things in FireFox. I do use Gmail and it might be trying to log me in automatically. I might go back once I am sure there is no risk.
