Firefox or Chrome?

[sfg]

At the moment the only reason I'm not giving Chrome a chance is because of the stupid way it handles search engines. I'm sorry, I can't go from having a nice dropdown menu from where to choose the search engine I want and the easiness of adding them there from Firefox to the way it works in Chrome.

Plus, Firefox 3.6 had some very noticeable speed increase. Chrome is not THAT much faster anymore.

Oh yeah, I also don't like having the bookmarks button in the right side, instead of having it in the menu bar like in Firefox.

I would not force myself to get used to a different UI just for a slight speed increase and the bonus of joining the new group of nonconformist kids.

Wow, I'd have never thought my poll about this would be so popular! Okay, after you guys complaining, I'll go ahead and add the other browsers. Can't wait to see your opinions!

What's this about chrome being able to use adblock? I have an older Chrome on my main pc and it took awhile even following the instructions to chop in this ad blocking tool that is out there which made no sense it was that bitchy. I tried to stuff it on another install some months back and put the blocker in and it refused to take which pissed me off and I haven't touched Chrome since.

I like the speed and low profile setup of Chrome with that wide view area, but the lack of ease of getting in plugins (which I barely use, sometimes noscript usually just adblock plus) is aggravating.

I didn't know there was a Firefox 3.6 out though that supposedly renders much faster.

Now if someone'd just make a good equivalent of DownThemAll for Chrome, i'd use it XD

Before checking back here I gave it another shot as I saw it was full updated to v4 like 6 days ago only and that it has plugins and junk. It seems pretty slick so far and I think I was using old v1 or v2 of the thing from some time ago in 09.

I need privacy though, can that most viewed sites thing when you do a new page be erased/disabled as that's just bs.

The Adblock+ plugin even with the subscription enabled sucks as I'm getting considerable ads that I never got with the real adblock plus on firefox.

Chrome for me. i realized the extra stuff in FireFox was un-used by me.

i decided to use chrome or simplicity as well.

 

[VmprHntrD]

Haha porn mode. I knew of incognito but my issue is a general security one, not hiding from the wifey as this is my laptop and it's on lockdown by passwords. I just don't like the feature and want it gone.


Oh and I did more looking, I was on a third party site and then used the google backed one and there is one just as AdBlock that is someones pet project using the firefox model and that one works fine. I'm digging this a bit more. Not sure I'm up for a switch, at least on the main pc but on my ultralight notebook I may.

Meh it needs work in the parts of when you end up clearing the cache and so on. I told it specifically not to remove cookies or passwords but it still likes to erase any logins I have set on sites, unacceptable.

Firefox all the way, man!
Chrome is "alright"
Internet Explorer can suck my.....
Safari, i've never used(and never will)
And I kinda used Maxthon....

The ridiculous thing about Chrome's incognito mode is that it disables your extensions, even though this is when you need Adblock the most.

 

[mdp_1992]

Okay, well I've been using FireFox for around 2 years now... or whenever it was released. Anyways, I switched to Chrome, but I still have FireFox because I find it...Cleaner and more organized. Like..It takes less space, and what's good about it because every time I install a toolbar by accident, don't ask why, they never get on Chrome

 

[Rydian]

And I kinda used Maxthon....Maxthon is a shell for IE.

1.0 was released in 2004, but they had test versions publicly released before that... I used them because they were much better than IE6 at that time. XD

firefox, chrome is so slow

 

[Maz7006]

Chrome just seems to be working better with my ISP or to be more accurate with my connection.

Still whenever im linux, which is most of the time, its basically Firefox.

New vote options now? Well, I would have voted for opera if it was possible earlier but since it wasn't my vote went to chrome.

Sorry 'bout that.

Google Chrome.

I think it's a lot faster at downloads and streaming then the rest.

I noticed that... I wonder if you could enable extensions, but I doubt that would happen. At least turn extensions off in Incognito Mode, and then after that let the users choose whether or not they want the extensions turned on.

Chrome, its simple and fast.
Thats usually all you need in a browser..
