Google Chrome vs Firefox

[notmeanymore]

Before I begin, keep in mind these are the observations I've made on my laptop that has a 4-year-old dual core, only 2 GB of RAM, and a crap Intel Chipset for graphics.

Firefox has a much faster processing speed. Pages load so much faster. Now this may be partially due to Chrome not having the same level of blocking power in its Ad Block Plus. Also, in my Chrome, I can't do a damn thing on a page until it's 100% loaded, nor in another tab. Not so with Firefox.

However! Flash games pretty much don't work at all in FF, and streaming videos have a poor framerate in Firefox unless I kick the quality down to 360p or less, and even then still has trouble. Chrome can handle about 480p. External players (Media Player Classic to be specific) can go to 720p. Haven't tested 1080p.

So basically, I use both because I need both, but usually I only use Chrome for anime and the occasional game.

ok, so i just read this entire piece of crap of a thread, basically people like firefox because it is more customizable, and others like chrome because it is streamlined and simple

i personally use chrome, because it's more streamlined, takes up less room, works great & fast, and is just plain simple
yes i saw about that theme and removing the toolbars, but that doesn't move tabs up to the top bar(can't remember the name)

and then there was the biased ranting and benchmarks which no one cares about, people just care about the real-world performance in today's internet

also, that weird customization of firefox that Urza had was pretty sexy

I use ChromePlus. A Version of Chrome that does not send all you do to google.

I use that because it feels faster than my firefox.

Firefox is better for me

I like firefox better but I'm posting right now using chrome.

Firefox is slow for me, Chrome is better i think, but i like Opera more.

I use firefox because I need firetorrent(I refuse to download bittorrent), and chrome doesn't have it.

...and IE is just standing in the corner...

IE is only useful for downloading FireFox or Google Chrome.

I made a bit of a write-up on this one website I'm somewhat involved with. It includes a comparison of Google Chrome and Firefox from my perspective, as well as Opera.

There's some other useful stuff as well. The whole website is about SEO, and it's got a few tutorials about how to set up a permanent income. It's pretty complex, but I suppose the reward is something similar to "modding/hacking" life. But anywayz, I wrote that a while ago and thought you all might find it interesting.

Should I make a thread about it...? Who knows.

Props for Firefox to pull that off, nice job!

Former Firefox user, now Chrome. I think I overloaded my old Firefox browser with way too many add-ons, and as a result, it takes about 3 minutes to load and open. So I tried Chrome, it opens in seconds, and it's pretty fast. I think it's a lot simpler, without all the add-ons and such, so Chrome is my favorite browser. Both are great.

Chrome for surfing. Firefox for pira... I mean downloading some stuff...

 

[craplame]

I use Firefox and my sister likes Google Chrome. I guess because she can make her facebook look different...

 

[Advi]

I'm using Firefox right now, but I'm dying for Opera 11 to come out.

 

[I am r4ymond]

I dunno...I think both internet browsers are great. I use Google Chrome mostly for surfing the web and media, while I use Firefox for downloading things. Whenever I download things on Google Chrome, it's stuck with a low download speed.

Firefox wins, hands down.
