Google Chrome vs Mozilla Firefox - Which do you prefer and why?

@anarchist9027
That's why I love MDL than you sir for the info "learn and learn and learn"
MDL is a free space for free people

 

As long as you visit regularly, you'll learn something pretty much every time

 

Firefox for me. Firefox is feature rich with great extensions but there are more important reasons why I'm loyal to Mozilla. With Firefox Mozilla is fostering internet freedom while Google is trying to own everything and everybody and can't be trusted. "Do No Evil" is a joke. Also, after MS killed Netscape Navigator and let browser development die Mozilla came to our rescue with a great open source browser.

 

Are you confusing Google with Apple?

 

I have used them both, and some of their spin-offs like Comodo Dragon and IceDragon (based on Chromium, respectively Firefox), Waterfox because it runs great on my x64 Windows and some Nightly builds; but Chrome was faster and felt more lightweight. Even those spin-off ran pretty great on my machine. So I guess I am gonna stick with Chrome for now( and those two Dragons, just for the fun of it )
Have a great day!

 

Yea its kinda the same for me with FF. Been using nightly builds since FF2 pre alpha builds. It's hard to change when you been using something so long. I tried to like Opera and chrome but there was just always something that turned me back to FF. They all solid browsers tho and you can't really go wrong with any of them in my opinion.

Wih nightly builds sometimes something is broken enough to use more stable build for day or two. But its to be expected with nightly builds when some big changes happen. Aurora would be the more stable "dev channel" for FF.

nightly -> aurora -> beta -> stable

 

Now I am using chrome, as it is more simple and fast with the addons, if my FF run with >5 addons, it is too slow.

I use both. Firefox because of plugins like Flash Video Downloader. Chrome is nice and fast but im getting audio delay with flash games.

 

Firefox 19 will look more like Chrome.

"Mozilla, start your photocopiers."

 

Well, Chrome do has an lightweight interface

 

Opera all the way!

Rest all is bad when you open more than 30 tabs. I love DragonFly for doing some hard core debugging and also the direct source edit / apply feature to remove some unwanted stuff from the page when you save / print and mouse gestures.

(One has to admit that Opera has a lot of non-existent native features than any other browser ever made!) Explore and you'll like it!

Have still got Chrome and FF as portable apps and for backup.

FF for mostly doing nasty work (like pentesting and auditing)
Chrome with addons for accessing play store and for downloading Android apps on to PC. Both the browsers have got excellent addons and extensions though the memory / process management still a crap with FF and Chrome (and not to mention IE!).

Rest all the bookmarks lives in Opera Link synced across 5 different systems at three different locations!

 

For me its Google Chrome starts up fast and stable FF always took to long to load up

 

Firefox, even though Chrome's bootup is the fastest. But the addons for Firefox just make it so much better.

 

I only use IE10 it's super fast and it works perfectly

 

I have been using chrome for awhile now and I think its better then FireFox, Just my 2cents

 

Firefox much easy to work with.

Lievre

 

On my office PC with win 7 pro sp1 x86, I have experienced too many FF freezes and non responsiveness.
I do not know what is causing this but updating flash beyond 11.2 seems to be the culprit. Uninstall >11.2 and go to 11.2 and this problem does not arise.
Use the latest released FF beta (presently 17b2)
Any solutions.
