I think Chrome has its benefits but you practically give up your anonymity once you switch to them. Firefox is much better when it comes to giving you that kind of anonymity, discretion and security,and it´s not really that much slower than Chrome. Google already knows to much about our internet surfing habits, why give them more info ?

Maxthon gets my vote

Ive been using Chrome recently cuz my Firefox crashes when I watch flash files.

Even on the org if we have a thread with multiple youtube videos embedded, all of my firefox windows freeze

Chrome is faster but i wish I could have my bookmarkes on the left side.

I've found Firefox to be the best browser out there, I love the many different features and themes and add-ons that you can choose from and it's damn fast.

I just wish they had kept the arrange bookmarks on the right click instead of the way you have to do it now, that sucks.

I prefer Safari (I'm a Mac user). Firefox is my backup browser.

Google needs to put plenty of security on Chrome in order to grant more users. Anonymity is a must!

Chrome has a huge advantage when it comes to users watching videos from YouTube, Dailymotion, OR Megavideo.

Firefox never crashed on me when an org thread is full of YouTube clips. But then again, I made it a habit of update my flash player to avoid that problem.

Since v3.0, I've no longer have the option of putting all of my bookmarks in alphabetical order! I'm still piss about that more than anything else. Mozilla need to fix that before reaching v4.

TonyVanDam said:

Oh you can do it but you have to go into the bookmarks tab and click organize bookmarks, but after that I get confused and sometimes i can alphabetize them and sometimes I can't.

My other beef is that when you shut down the computer asks that stupid "exit and save" shit. It's just not needed. The previous version remembered my setting and didn't need to ask me.

Opera is older than Firefox.

ok ... you are out of your effin mind Safari is the most insecure browser out there and that's a truth.

And, yes I'm a Mac user too ... I use Firefox. Chrome doesn't have a Mac version yet, but it's been bashed with exploits since it's conception.

Firefox + the NoScript plug-in and if you don't know what you're gonna be looking at (which pages you will visit. Wrap it all in Sandboxie to top of the secure surf-fest

That's not a browser, it uses IE or FF in the background.

and it's Chinese, they have great women but any software coming from that country should be distrusted by default.

I've never had a security problem with Safari and it's faster than Firefox. That's enough for me.

AlexdeParis said:

ahum

Especially Apples response to fix is terrible :-/ But hey, you have never had a security problem with Safari, I guess it's all ok then

And Chrome was release by Google in September 2008 (I think).

firefox....is awesome

i downloaded chrome but haven't even looked into how to use it.

so far, it confuses me and i just continue to use firefox.

Chrome.

I still use Firefox occasionally because of a few extensions I can't live without (DownloadHelper, ftw!), but I basically use Chrome for all my other uses because of speed. YouTube is excellent on Chrome. FF3 had so much hype the day it was released, I even participated in the whole download day, but it crashes WAY more than FF2 did. Chrome will sometimes crash (thank goodness only one tab though) with Shockwave and a few other obscure plugins, but otherwise it's great.

Two annoying things about Chrome:


1. You can't get rid of the "Recent bookmarks" window.

2. The scroll is way too fast (maybe they've fixed that now?).


I'm a Firefox man.
