Google Chrome vs Firefox

[Daidude]

IE9 is by far the best in my opinion and I have the newest google crome as well as the newest firefox installed on my laptop.

 

[Thoob]

Right then, I'll download the latest nightly of Firefox and report back later. Satisfied?

 

[Bunie]

Seriously, it's like your completely and utterly ignoring my results.

"Firefox is faster"
"Chrome is better"

"adblock works better in firefox"
"Chrome is better"

"firefox has better multicore support"
"Chrome is better"

I see.

I see you worship firefox, but why did you call chrome user religious nuts??

I don't care about your bias rants and test, different people different taste..what's wrong with that??

seriously dude, you're not a member of westboro are you??

Bias? I had results. I have proof that all those statements are true. Chrome is better at memory management. But when you weigh in everything, Firefox is better.
In actuality, IE9 is the fastest, best supported, and most HTML5 compliant browser available. However, there is (currently) no Adblock plugin available for IE9, so i wait.

How can you look at proof, have the ability to see this proof for yourself, and still be an idiot? it's not like you can say "your wrong", when you can see the proof for yourself.

Also, "different people different taste..what's wrong with that??" Have you forgotten what Post this is? Chrome vs Fox

 

[RoMee]

lol..you're so hell bent on converting people to firefox that you are totally ignorant to what people are saying

different people different taste I know this can be hard for someone like you to understand. so lets just end it..

 

[GundamXXX]

I dont know, i dont like the userinterface of Chrome opposed to the FF one but then again ive ben using FF since day 1 so i guess its hard to kick old habit but im having issues finding stuff easily, its like its a browser and you cant edit shit >_<

i knzo you can but i havent found the button yet ;p

He's not trying to convert anyone. He's trying to get you to run a test and see for yourself.

Nobody has said anything since i posted my results. Show me different results with the nightly builds. it wont happen. Firefox4 now uses GPU to render things on screen, in a ~MUCH~ faster way than chrome. Firefox also uses an external program to handle embeded objects such as flash or java, wich allows for real, True multicore support. Whats chrome got? Seriously. I want to know. And don't say less ram usage. Lol Firefox uses what it can, its a good scenario. it will shrink when it needs to. but when you have alot of free memory, shouldn't it be used?

Seriously though. Go ahead, brag about chrome, show me it being better than Firefox. dont just say its better. Show me.

I used them both at the latest updates not some beta version.
What does it score on this test?
http://acid3.acidtests.org/
Chrome scores 100/100.

Eh, Internet Explorer 9 also fails to read any XML documents I have. And it crashes way too often for my liking as of right now, and it takes a while to load up at first, though not as worse as Firefox's start-up. I'll probably get IE9 once it leaves beta and gets an official release, but I'll stick with Chrome for now.

Fine, Purplesludge, you think betas are slower.

So you can use normal chrome, and use the beta firefox. See whats faster then

Lol.

I'll give you a hint, it starts with fire, and isnt chrome.

Yeah IE9 is HORRIDLY buggy, but when it does work, it works WELL. A sign of good things to come, i hope. Unfortunately, i cant live without Adblocker anymore, so even if its the best, i couldn't switch until adblocker is made for IE9 lol.

does it hurt??

I'll try it when it is out of beta, what does it score on the test in my post? I edited it in right before you posted your response.

Firefox is the fastest browser out of all the ones I used, Netscape, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera Web Browser. Also I get no pop ups on Firefox, though I did not get any on any browser except Netscape and Internet Explorer.

Lol. No. Was just trying to open peoples eyes a bit. Chrome was faster, its true, and i know this. But it isnt anymore, and people should know that. Chrome is no longer the fastest browser. it was originaly built with lightweight speed in mind. And to me, that was a turnoff. I don't like a bulky browser, but lightweight stuff is a turnoff to me, it feels empty. Chrome, when originaly released, felt like it was missing things, as i was used to FFox and IE. it was faster, though. But now, FF4 when released, is going to be much faster than chrome, and nothing will have been sacrificed in order to achieve this.

Firefox 4 beta Acid3: 97/100

Though this tells you nothing lol.

EDIT: Sorry for double-posting, i see no way to delete it though lol

I use Chrome on my Windows PC and Chromium on my Linux laptop. I would use firefox if it didn't take 15 seconds to start up, but it definitely is a nice browser.

By the way, for those saying that they aren't using Chrome because Google owns it, use Chromium. It doesn't send any data to Google, and it is identical to Chrome.

 

[Matthew]

I used to use both, but then all the extensions I needed from Firefox were ported to Chrome, which I prefer to use because it is the fastest web browser available. I use the dev builds.
You are unbelievably incorrect. Lol.

I tested nightly builds of both. FFox runs circles around chrome.

Proof.
Test Page

http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/FishIETank/Default.html

Win32 Nightly Build of chrome

http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/

Win32 Nightly Build of Firefox (64-bit build doesn't work, wich is fine, Because Chrome has no 64-bit build)

http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Results on my low-end PC:
Firefox with 20 fish: 60Fps
Chrome with 20 fish: 11Fps

For fun i ran Firefox with 50 fish, Still had 60Fps, and 100 Fish was 50Fps. Chrome dropping at 20, i didn't bother.

Test2:
CODEhttp://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/SpeedReading/Default.html

Firefox: 41Fps, 24ms average draw duration
Chrome: 3fps, 272ms average draw duration (Had to retest, Chrome had an unfair advantage in my last test, and still lost MAJORLY, btw.)

Feel free to run these yourself.
And Stfu, you chrome fans remind me of religious nuts.

Firslty I do NOT have a gaming PC, I am doing this on a mid range LAPTOP.

With Chrome and GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D on in about:flags I have 1000 fish and 35fps
With Firefox 4 beta and 1000 fish I get 28fps

Speed reading
Chrome: 60fps (Chrome is disadvatgaed to having a bigger browser size due to more compact toolbars)
Firefox: 43fps

In what way is firefox better?

 

[_Chaz_]

I have yet to see definitive proof supporting the argument that I should switch to Chrome. Only a lot of whining, bias kids screaming "CHROME" or "FIREFOX".

 

[Matthew]

To be honest there is not a huge difference, really depends on personal preferences and there is no reason you shouldn't have both.

 

[Bunie]

I am an avid FF4 fan, i will be honest.
However, i am honest when i give browser results.
Here are results for the Sputnik Test, using Todays Nightly FF, Nightly Chrome, and IE9 Beta:

FF4:
Total:5246
Succeeded:5062
Failed:184

Chrome7:
Total:5246
Succeeded:5110
Failed: 136


IE9:
Total: 5246
Succeeded: 5157
Failed: 89

As you can see, Chrome barely beats firefox, wich is to be expected. However, like i said earlier, IE9 devastates every other browser, in every way. Speed, Rendering, Javascript compliance, IE9 always wins.

Sputnik is a javascript compliance test made and hosted by Google.

http://sputnik.googlelabs.com/

I only dont use IE9 for three reasons
1)They abandoned XP too soon
2)Buggy, waiting for official release
3)No Adblocker

When numbers 2 and 3 are fixed, i will likely consider switching.


Because of IE7 and IE8's suckiness, and the general term of Microsoft, an irrational hatred has grown for all things Internet Explorer. And so i suppose people may have a hard time accept IE9 wins Lol. But at this moment in time, it does. The problem is, Chrome and Firefox will eventualy catch up to, and surpase IE9. Microsoft only updates once every 3 years or so, while firefox/chrome update every 4 or 5 months. Due to this, it will eventualy surpass IE9. But at this moment in time, its somthing i can say that i havnt said in FOREVER

internet explorer WINZZZZZZZZZZ Lol.
