Its a very nice site. Although data is not that accurate, but it gives a rough estimate of how your business is doing compared to your competitors.

I think the plugin was causing problems with my FF. When I would open new tabs FF would freeze while I waited for the data to download even when I the page I was opening was blank.
I had to remove the plugin

Have it on firefox but still prefer Alexa (although both are quite inaccurate and webmaster-biased)

Both alexa and compete are inaccurate. I use them both though. They give a general traffic rank statistic. But what if the analyzed site is involved in traffic exchanges? The stats will not show the real value of the site anyway.

Don't focus on that stuff... Focus on SERPs and traffic.....
They describe on approximate visitors only....

compete.com is as bad as Alexa, I mean completely off, so no need for that kind of "tool"

Do you think that someday they can create such an accurate and efficient tool for tracking our sites.,

As you know ranks are different every day in SE, even if you've got an accurate tool, you will need to check each day your ranks
I check a few main keywords on my site, but not each day lol
