Exactly! That's why I thought it was pointless. The average user couldn't care less about GPU accelerated graphics because really, how often does one utilize them in a web browser?
HTML5, the new standard, REALLY requires GPU Accelerated Graphics. GPU is good for flash ads, youtube, pages with alot of gifs, and HTML5 has alot of movement and smoothness to it that is almost impossible to view without acceleration.

My PC has an AMD64 3000+ clocked at 2Ghz.

But now browsing is possible again thanks to my Nvidia Geforce 8400 + firefox 4


I just used standard Google chrome without GPU acceleration to view a 1080p video on youtube. It was flawless, and not choppy at all. Of course, you can get into the technical details, but really, who cares? The average user wants something that "just works", so they obviously don't care if firefox runs some random demo faster or slower than chrome. Sure, the demo ran like crap (20 fps), but that didn't affect the performance of the HD video at all.

Although you have a point with HTML5, it isn't mainstream yet. All the browsers are changing rapidly to support HTML5 as best as they can, so we can't really say which one handles HTML5 better.

OK. NO BROWSER IS THE BEST.

Chrome= Speed
Firefox= Addons

Ok. I'm quoting you because your avatar is amazing.
Oh, and because what you say is the truth.

Thank you. Finally, some sanity over here.
 
I use the Chrome.
Firefox is just way too customizable for my needs, I just want it simple and cool. Chrome leaves a big screen open, with tabs together with the window and the down part gone.
Chrome has some simple extensions that I only need, like the typical AdBlock.

True. I don't need a gazillion apps for everyday use. Plus there's a lot of space especially when you go in Full-Screen mode. That said, there is no best browser.

It's just your own preference that won't matter to everyone else in the world

I don't know if it's just me, but the Cubefield on the right in your sig doesn't kill me when I crash into the blocks.

Its a hacked version and anyway maxlwin536, this isnt the place for flash games.

Well I use Chrome because Firefox takes up too much space on the top... other than that they're kind of the same for me.

Simple solution for keeping FF clean (3.6)
1: Get this damn skin
2: Restart FF
3: Hit F11
4: Right-click Toolbar
5: Uncheck "Hide Toolbars"
6: ??????
7: PROFIT!
 
Who's winning? i removed the firefox on my pc and installed chrome and opera...
 
One thing Chrome can't do is linking to Google Bookmark.

If Chrome can synch with Google Bookmark I'll ditch Firefox right away (Firefox has GMark).

Chrome syncs bookmarks, extensions, themes, and browser preferences. It's all tied to your Google account.

Unless you are talking about something completely different?

I'm talking about Google Bookmark, online bookmark. I tried it before, it doesn't synch.
 
I'm using Firefox for more then 4 years now and I'm very happy with it!

Don't know about Google Chrome because I used it only once, but didn't like it...

I like Firefox for it's add-on feature and because it supports many skins.

P.S. (for the below browser users)
Don't know if Chrome, Opera, IE..... has the above features because I didn't use them for very long, so don't "attack" me saying it isn't true!
