For some reason here - Chrome is slower than Firefox on my side. Its also a resource hog whereas Firefox doesn't eat as much memory.

My netbook specs are: Atom n450. 2gb ram.

Internet browsers are for browsing websites. I prefer GC since it's faster and not cluttered like Firefox. I just use the internet to view websites, etc.
FF's advantages are the customization features, more add-ons.


Still, I love Google Chrome, since the day it was released, that was the browser i've used ever since.

I'm using Firefox on all my PC's at the moment, but I'm thinking of switching soon maybe.
Firefox is just a little bit slower than Chrome, and it can't load some sites for me. It just keeps loading them for ages, so annoying.

But the add-ons make it better than Chrome, and that's the reason why I still use it.
My brother is a big pro Chrome guy, and he said Chrome can do all the stuff my Firefox can do too. I'll check that out soon, and then I'll decide which browser I'll really use.

Chrome is a really good, fast browser, but I dislike its interface. For that reason, I still use Firefox. Unfortunately, the Firefox 4 beta uses an interface that's similar to Chrome's...

Firefox is nice cuz of customization.Chrome because of speed.
Both browsers eat up an amount RAM though(Firefox is ok if it's a fresh install). If it's lightness and speed being talked about though,Opera is the best...

FF4 looks like it has a bright future,I sure wish they would hurry...

+Firefox

I use Chrome but hate it. I used to use Firefox, hated that too. Before that, Opera. Hated it. Don't even get me started on IE...

Out if the bunch I'd have to say Firefox, just because the people who make it are nice. Not like Google, trying to take over the Internet, and M$, trying to take over the world!

i agree with this 100000%. i highly dislike the interface. as for ff4, i believe there is an option to make it look like like the older ones.

Firefox without a doubt - chrome might be alright in a few years when they finish it off, but at the moment it seems like half-a-browser.

I'd go with opera over chrome.

That's Google for you, their 'beta's' take forever

But you can hardly say it's half-a-browser, it works brilliantly already, no crashes whatsoever.
And this is only beta, and it's almost (or better according to some) than Firefox, then what will the final version be like

Chrome is more buggy though, a site for torrents seems to get cut in half when viewing in Chrome but when viewed in Firefox, it is normal, but I still prefer Chrome.
