Cool Which is better: Chrome or firefox?

Personally I think Firefox;

It is easy to cover your traces
Compatable with most things
Works on Linux as well
Fucking awesome addons;

But, fair and balanced, so heres Chromes + points

Faster than Firefox
If you dont care bout privacy you can get to your favourite webpages easier;
Its new so tonnes of time for improvent
Relativly Clutter free.

What do you guys think? Is firefox still theundisputed King, or has Chrome stole its thunder? Or do you prefer a entirly different browser, Safari, Internet explorer etc?

I believe this thread will quickly degenerate into a browser holy war.

I use safari because ... it's there.

I think it depends on the user. I installed chrome for a friend of mine, whom I build a computer for, because the interface seemed less cluttered, it didn't have as many menus and options, and plugins, such as flash and whatnot, seem easier to install.

I still use firefox, mainly because I'm use to it, but also because I can appreciate all the addon support. That kind of stuff isn't complicated for me.

This. I love chrome because of the simplicity, and how fast it is, but I love firefox because of my plugins.

Throw Ad-Block plus in Chrome and I'll ditch Firefox in a matter of seconds.

the developers of chrome have stated they dont care if the browser takes off, they just want to introduce new concepts in a web 2.0 world when all the other browsers was designed without web 2.0 in mind.


screw the browser holy war, use what you like, just avoid IE


i love my firefox.

I wish chrome would recognize my yahoo email regulars.
I'm used to typing the first letter of my email addressee and getting a menu drop down of choices.
chrome doesn't do that.
