    Problem is that FF supports good spelling checkers (for German, English, French and Dutch) and password managers. I didn't find any other browser that does this, and this is a requirement for me.

    Rob, the password manager works perfectly for me in chrome & works across computers/OSs if you log into chrome.
    Can't remember the last time I used firefox.

    OK, but what about spellingcheckers? That is a no-go for me.

    I tried to find working spelling checkers in several browsers, but only in FF I found them to be working.

    Chrome has a decent enough spell checker for English language that suits my needs and you can download others as plugins if needed.

    Well, I tried (a number of) those but they are hardly functional. No way I can use them.

    Same as above: no decent spelling checker.
