Chrome vs. Firefox?


No More Google Toolbar Support For Firefox
So I'm debating between Chrome and Firefox. It seems that in terms of speed and stability, Chrome is the leader. However, Firefox seems to have a few more features, like tab candy and app tabs. PDF viewing and syncing are integrated into both, although, I think the FF version is a little more complicated. Chrome's ability to reamin stable with multiple tabs open simultaneously is apparently slightly better than FF. Chrome does not have the added feature of HTTP pipeline, which actually gives Chrome more speed. Also, Chrome's combined address bar and search bar is really intuitive and convenient, especially with Google instant integration.

Full screen on FF has the ability to show or hide the nav bar, but Chrome hides it by default (until your cursor is in the area).

These are just a few examples. It seems Chrome is better overall, but that is based on only a few points.

What are the other key bencharks that should be compared to these browsers?

  1. compatibility do the they both work with the sites that you will use the most. another nice thing about is that flash updates are contained in the browser so you don't have to go to the flash website.

  2. I don't know technical stuff, but I like chrome better than firefox. I LOVE how there is just one nav bar, and I can google search right in it. EASY!

  3. I do prefer Chrome, but there can be a slight security risk in having a navigation bar, search bar combo. The browser and certain websites can then access your history, searches, and web information.
