I alternate between Google Chrome and Firefox, depending on the task at hand. If it's watching videos and needing lots of stability, I choose Firefox. If it's for WrongPlanet or just quick browsing, then I use Google Chrome.

SeaMonkey... for the browser, email and newsgroups, html editor, address book, IRC chat, and the rest.
Now that I've installed Firefox on my Galaxy S III, maybe I'll start using that a bit more, though it's lack of anything but the browser part is just irritating.

Chrome resolved their stability issues a while back. There were problems with Flash crashing on Macs which seems to have gone away 6-12 months ago. That leaves nothing major I'm aware of.

Firefox for everything, except for Youtube...
I have multiple monitors of different resolutions on Linux Mint 14, and firefox doesn't know how to get the correct video display size in that scenario. They both work fine on Windows though.
Otherwise, Firefox is waaaay better for web design and overall features.

I still have occasionally freezing with Google Chrome. Not half as bad as it was, but only sometimes. Firefox is still more stable, in my opinion.
