Firefox or Google Chrome

Hey guy's,

I wasn't sure where to post this but is Google Chrome better then Firefox? Iv'e noticed that my Firefox browser has been crashing alot lately and It's pissing me off. I don't really want to use slow Internet Explorer. What browser are you guys using?

I think this is better suited for the OT board.

See blog. I would say Firefox is more useful thanks to great add ons like Adblock Plus, but Google Chrome is coded much better and is also much faster thanks to the Web Kit engine (as opposed to the slower Gecko engine that FF uses). Firefox is a bit bloated too with a lot of memory leaks. Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 should make the browser feel noticeably faster, but I really wish Mozilla just recoded the whole thing for Firefox 4 and moved to Web Kit.

Also, try running CCleaner and clearing out your browser cache/history/cookies/download history/etc. It might be a bit inconvenient since you'll lose autofill info and passwords, but it might help with the crashes.

Chrome Is terrible.

half as slow as IE, but Firefox is pretty damn good. Using Safari on PC is also pleasently suprising

Chrome slow? Something's wrong with your PC. Chrome beta 2.0 is lightning fast for me, noticeably faster than Firefox most of the time. Even if it doesn't actually load pages faster, the UI feels very snappy.

chrome is alright, I use firefox though

Firefox is better.

I'm one of the few that feel this way, but for me it's IE8 > IE7 > Chrome >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Firefox (it's an ugly pos)

I would also tend to agree with you. Although I can't comment on Chrome, not having used it yet. I do run IE8 most of the time with occasional uses of FF and feel more comfortable with IE8, though I don't dislike FF...... IE just seems to suit me better. The only thing I seem to have a problem with IE being slow is opening up and running this site. Trying to navigate around GS is about as fast as watching paint dry....:(

chrome is much much better

chrome is incredibly intuitive, it is very fast, very sleek, and very effective

it can go where no browser has gone before lol

while safari may be nice if you want things to be really nice and simple, if you want to enjoy your time spent on the internet use chrome

If you want speed take Chrome, if you want add ons, skins take firefox.

I use Firefox, the add ons and customisation is great.

Seems like I am on the only IE guy here. chandu83

I use chrome because I have yet to find a website that it wont load. and I love the minimalistic design and speed.

Definatly Firefox. It's fast, safe and customisable.

I would definately go with chrome. It IS faster and easier to navigat. ie.adding tabs. It also meanss you don't have to go to search engines to find sites. You just type it into the bar.

Haven't tried Chrome. I really enjoy Firefox though.

IE7 is indeed the most used browser, but not because it's the best, simply because it's the default browser on all Windows computers. Most Windows users probably don't even know how to switch browsers. There's nothing wrong with IE8, it's much better than IE7, but I don't think it has any advantage over Firefox.

the thumbnail homepage in chrome is ingenious and the tabs are intuitive and also each is a seperate process so if one crashes the others don't

Indeed. Google Chrome is the best coded browser in my opinion and generally the fastest (or at least beta 2.0 is). It just needs a few more iterations to gain a lot of the features of the other browsers and the great add on community that Firefox has.

Firefox. The add ons are just so nice. No more ad's.

I started using Chrome a few weeks ago, and I have to say I love both Firefox and Chrome equally for different reasons. I keep both browsers and use them based on what I'm doing.

How do people use Google chrome when so many websites don't work with it.Deihmos

But doesn't CHROME have that INFORMATION collecting and sending to Google thing? If so...no way I'm using ChromeFelipeInside

YouTube video quality I've found is better on Chrome. I use FireFox for all else. Either one is better than IE or Safari

Firefox. The add ons are just so nice. No more ad's.

Yeah. Firefox has become bloated. I used it for years, but the newer version just bogs down. The latest Chrome and IE are faster than the latest Firefox.

this should be in the PC Hardware forum
