Poll: alright, this is it! CHROME OR FIREFOX?

Google Chorme

Chrome for speed, Firefox for...other things.

I prefer Opera over either of them. Opera seems to have all the extensions I want, except they're already built in. Speed Dial and mouse gestures are things I use all the time; I can barely go back to Firefox which doesn't have Speed Dial. The speed is great and Opera Unite is a handy little feature sometimes.

Opera 11's tab stacking is most certainly something which will soon be adopted by everyone else. I can manage a butt-load of pages with ease now. Great for doing research papers and stuff like that.

Huh. I'm going to check that out.

Firefox is my backup in case flashplayer crashes in chrome(happens quite often)

 

[Geekosaurus]

Firefox.

come on, it's a fox... that's on fire!

But it's Google...chromed!

It's actually pretty close.

Chromium, it's what google Chrome is based off but isnt plagued with google shit everywhere and it runs faster. its also compatible with the fancy google chrome addons.

If Chrome and Fox would be people, I'd have a polygamic relationship and threesomes.

I laughed so hard reading this. Thanks for the lulz.

 

[BENZOOKA]

NEITHER.

Opera beats them both without breaking a sweat.

This was one of my issues with Chrome. A colleague of mine had to bring up his browser during a presentation, and all seated got a, shall we say, explicit look at his browsing history from the front page list. Could have been embarrassing for him if anyone had been tactless enough to point it out.

Personally, I'm just more comfortable with Firefox, but I haven't really used Chrome much. Might try it again though, to see if it really is faster.

Oh dear God, that would be a nightmare! I know I've had encyclopedia dramatica on there before but thank god it was just the index page. Chrome is a nice browser but it suffers in the same department a lot of modern net technology does, it doesn't grasp that there's certain things you don't want to share or to have readily accessible.

except chrome has it already built in.

I've never noticed it work. I've had pop ups and scripts run all the time in Chrome. Also, if you're going to browse a shady site you probably don't want something that reports usage to a private company.

It notifies you and blocks flash java etc... from working, if that hasn't shown up its probably because of fire fox's LACK of protection that already allowed scripts that stopped chrome from picking anything up. also how would you know? and why would you go to these sites?

I've never had it block active content on any of the sites I've visited, I've had the same window open in two browsers and I'm telling you that a properly outfitted Firefox stops stuff that Chrome lets through. I've never received a message saying that Chrome has shut down active content. Now messages saying the flash player crashed? Had those!

And yes I am referring to several kinds of questionable sites. Pornography, torrent sites and things like ED. In that order I visit those sites for pornz, warez and lulz. Firefox blocks ads, pop ups, pop unders and everything except the content I specifically allow. Chrome loads the whole lot.

im just saying it never lets it through for me, and the only thing different that you have done is use Firefox.

I use and like both.

TEAM FIREFOX

But yeah, I haven't tried chrome, but I love firefox for its customization capabilities. For me, I don't have a problem with it being slow. Only problems I get sometimes is that sometimes it won't respond, but usually there's a reason for it. I can have over ten tabs and it'll run pretty damn well.
