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.

Ah, you don't use them then?
I tried to find working spelling checkers in several browsers, but only in FF I found them to be working.

no, I only speak English so never had to install other spell checkers.

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

Seriously? I even use it for Dutch, which I'm supposed to write flawless......

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

Ok but whats wrong with good old Internet Explorer? I've used it since my 1st computer in 92 and have no complaints.

Same as above: no decent spelling checker.
