[teejaybax]

it is true that chrome is more faster than Mozilla?

Teejay :D

[Stabber]

It is faster if you can live without the addons and security that firefox offers

[anon]

it is true that chrome is more faster than Mozilla?

I found it to be slower on JavaScript-intensive sites, actually.

[Stabber]

If you are using linux there are a lot of frefox alternatives . Like midori , and dillo . On windows is either firefox or chrome and with maybe opera although i don't like it

[mosh]

if you like the extra addons and dilly dally go with firefox
if not chrome for u- anyhow you wont really feel the difference

I am use IE and Firefox now. I think Firefox is better IE. but some site is not support it ~~~

No, the solution is to ddos the site in question.

[anon]

It makes Firefox use even more memory.

[Tv Controls you]

It only seems to be faster on google.com .... Other sites seem to be the same when comparing firefox vs chrome....
As I have said before, I have no incentive to switch to chrome as I have been so pleased with Mozilla's software.

Disregard me if your talking about system requirement between the two browsers.....

I'm running 6 gb of ram and an i7 running at 2.68 a core..... I can't recall tasking over 50% of either ever...

[teejaybax]

thanks for your reply, anyway how about safari? did you already try safari browser?

[zomerozs]

it might be faster, but mozila is the best

i tried all browsers, IE, opera, chrome .. everything

MOZILA is the BEST !

[scorpius1945]

I have used Firefox, Chrome and Opera (IE is not listed here for obvious reasons) and I have to say that:
Chrome is the fastest to open and the least RAM consuming one (because of its tabs),
Firefox might not be the fastest, but you can customize everything about it, and its compatible with most of the webpages
Opera is the fastest for navigating, but it is incompatible with some pages (its my favorite browser)

[anon]

Opera is the fastest for navigating, but it is incompatible with some pages

I can count the number of Opera-incompatible pages I've stumbled upon with my fingers, but it does happen. Did you try setting the User-Agent for those sites (F12 -> Edit Site Preferences -> Network) to "mask as Firefox" or "mask as IE"? Sometimes that fixes some issues.

[c0ld]

no itis not true

yep.

[Skiz]

They're both able browsers. Use the one you like. :idunno:

[c0ld]

There is only one true browser, worshipers at the alter of the anti-browser and followers of false browsers should be purged from the intertubes.

[Stabber]

If you can live without the addons of firefox then do it . I for one use firefox because of it's great addons and themes

[6msj]

Thanks for the tip, Opera is my favorite browser over Firefox and Chrome.

[MetallicTouch]

There's a pretty godd review of performances of browsers on sixrevisions...

Just google 'comparison of browsers' its should be the second link...

[KFWQ]

Firefox 4 beta is pretty amazing and it looks just like chrome now.

[Wine]

Does Chrome have smooth scrolling?

[Zevaka]

chrome is MUCH faster and it uses less ram, too. especially if you have a bunch of tabs open and tens of addons installed
as for addons, you'll find all basic addons for chrome. adblockers, gmail checker, screenshot maker, etc. I found everything what i needed

[c0ld]

Wrong.

[anon]

chrome is MUCH faster and it uses less ram, too. especially if you have a bunch of tabs open and tens of addons installed

I beg to disagree.

I like how only one tab dies (instead of the whole browser) when things go wrong in Chrome, but then again I've never really had serious crashes with Opera.

[jayreal]

I'm on linux and use firefox but have tried chrome. It's not that much faster but have that sliding in and out effect to make it look faster. I can't live with chrome when the addons suck, and the people that makes them are as slow as they are. I'm happy with my firefox for now.

[qonad]

No

I used to like Firefox but can't stand it now that it's always checking for updates on the addons, plus some versions just grind my computers to a halt.

[Nissouri]

I use Firefox the most. For me, it's fast, stable and very functional, following a lot of experimentation to find the right combination of add-ons. I use Chrome to visit foreign-language Web sites, as its nicely integrated with Google Translate.

[Bada]

Firefox is better than chrome still. Because it has better security, less crashes, Great addons, Themes & better customization.

[RasToRizE]

FF is still good.. but i like GC better.. its better imo, so i would say yes mate

[justdrop]

Chrome is way better

[exw]

chrome runs in a sandbox and is more secure but firefox has way too many usefull addons

[c0ld]

chrome runs in a sandbox and is more secure but firefox has way too many usefull addons
correction, chrome is less secure but makes up for it by running sandboxed. firefox is more secure and doesn't need a sandbox.

[captive]

addons are too good in mozilla, dont think i could do without some, so for me chrome is 2nd. but i have tried it and quite like it, seems just a bit faster to me if addons etc are not your thing.

[lovelovelove]

chrome is more stable and more rapid i think

[Townsend]

Have to agree with captive. Addons work better with Mozilla. Anyway there's no reason to support Google even the more as it is already big enough...

[toekneem]

Still can't quite get myself away from IE been using it far too long, I have tried Chrome, and it is certainly faster than IE, and I quite like the auto page translation

[whatsalah]

Now Chrome supports extensions and require less resources than Firefox.

[vthl]

yea chrome extention list goes a lot more practical and it may end up piss the firefox in the speed dept

[jackywky]

I like chrome better.

[rdtphd]

no. chrome is faster sometimes but it still fails hard on some websites and wont work at all. once they work the bugs out of chrome ill switch to it but right now its not ready. The user interface on chrome is a lot better so i just got chromifox addon for firefox and now i have the same interface as chrome to start with and I customize it even more to suite my needs.

[krapyl]

use firefox for better plugins and better security. also, chrome has some problems with java-plugins in my experience.

Google goes to the news and make public the sucking cock, at and for, CIA and NSA. Mozilla does not. What else does one need to know?

Hi Dude

I agree with you that Chrome is bit faster than FireFox, but FireFox has good Add-Ons to rely on as they are extremely useful when we work and make the job easier.

[bokoo]

very fast very good very esay

[buidanhthuy]

Crash sometime with Chrome but it's good :)

[timmeh_timm]

i've heard chrome is faster, haven't seen any real difference myself... so i'm sticking with firefox... i just can't give up my greasemonkey scripts.

[dmkreation]

Me to firefox or sea Monkey. ant live without my fav set of addons

[sangos]

if you like to know, you should use it!!!
then u can tell for yourself - 2 days testing it out wouldn't kill you trust me i know i have seen other people do it and still live to talk about the experience - but on-topic.
chrome take much space -about 150 mb while FF take 28 mb only- if u open more than one page and open the task manger u will get about the same chrome.exe running in there and if u dont know which one is the main window - u can closing one of them thinking it`s a page to find out that the one u picked is the main browser page and close them all -, if u use FF to open 10 tabs all of them will take about 250 something from the memory if u open the same pages on chrome they will end up for about 380 something used from the memory, but for one or 2 tabs chrome is by far faster than FF !!

[anon]

if u open more than one page and open the task manger u will get about the same chrome.exe running in there and if u dont know which one is the main window - u can closing one of them thinking it`s a page to find out that the one u picked is the main browser page and close them all -

That's why it has a built-in task manager, so you can match Chrome processes to currently open tabs.

[Tool]

I am testing Chrome, but i still consider firefox as the best

[doug]

I am using chrome but although i am using firefox for torrent :P

[anon]

i am using firefox for torrent :P

Explain yourself.

[gravey]

I do think Chrome is faster then Mozilla but not by a lot. I prefer Mozilla for the plugins especailly noscipt, really helps to stop malware. Plus there is a lot more like download helper, firebug

[nye]

I switched completely over to Chrome, but now I use both because of Chatzilla. Someone tell me about a good IRC extension for Chrome, and it's all Google for me from here on out.

[Itzik007]

firefox is better.
althogh chrome loades webpages faster...

[Anshumanm]

Yes Chrome is faster than Mozilla , but Mozilla has thousands of addons to enhance it at will. So mozilla is my choice.

[iLOVENZB]

It is faster if you can live without the addons and security that firefox offers

I find Chrome's security pretty good, even though it's open source and has a decent market share there aren't as many exploits as some would of though.

[ncore21]

Firefox is better.Firefox has thousands of addons.

[miraclecheez]

stick with firefox, they plan to release their new browser by the end of 2011 which will probably be better than chrome

Being 2.5 years old is "in its infancy"? :unsure:

true but most of those years were beta and ff is pretty much final.

It's nearing its V12 and you call it infancy?
With tens of thousands of add ons ?

anyone help am getting this i try refeshing i just updated to still the same dont how sort any help would be gratful thanks



Well, this is embarrassing.













Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.









You can try:




* Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem

* Starting an entirely new browsing session

Shall I go on? All the faults I've found, Google Developers have noted and said they'll be working on it in later builds. Also how many developers would answer questions on Reddit?

You can do that in Firefox and Opera, too. The latter has had that function for as long as I remember. A real blessing.

X'uz me, al going over my head.
How those heavy words is good for an end non-developer-user like me ?
Once i installed Chrome, but it failed to impress me, so uninstalled.
I was not feeling the "secure" in that, No "real" add ons.. still now you cant get a mouse gesture which is working as it meant to

It attempted to steal the firefox's addon thingi but miserably failed :facepunch:
Omnibar / omni box whatever you call it, it was available in firefox v1.5 via addons :)
The images you attached there is basically a "Opera" original feature
The so called app was originally apples idea :P

Stop being a fanboy :P
i dont feel any benifit of using Chrome, apart from feel-good-factor for some user, IE9 is better then Chrome, if you ask me.

[iLOVENZB]

If you aren't a developer what does Firefox have that Chrome doesn't have? - apart from decent bookmark manager.

Most of the decent addons are on Chrome. Just because Firefox advertises x amount of addons doesn't mean they're of any use.

[saimsa]

yes , chrome is best browser than Mozilla also it work very quick.

i think that working on Firefox would be beneficial it would provide us with wide variety of option available for use

[scottperez]

there's no problem using both of them, well i prefer using both firefox as well as chrome, firefox has huge library of addons, themes and plugins, whereas chrome also have plugins and apps support which are unique in themselves, so they both works wonderful for me :)

atleast helps me to get rid of Internet Explorer, lol :D

You can use Chromium (there are compiled versions available on Softpedia) if you dislike Google's branding so much, although as far as I've been told there's no functional difference.
