Firefox and Chrome have been fighting for top dog for me for a while. Sometimes Firefox has its bugs so I'm required to fallback to Chrome, then Chrome develops a problem and I'm forced to use Firefox again until it starts having issues.

At the moment, however, I'm using Chromium 17. I also have Firefox Nightly installed for when the day does come that there is a problem.

I enjoy both the browsers, they both have their strong points, but they have way too much in common, and the add-on library is similar.

I do, however, use Firefox to watch Ustream and Livestream.com, because Adblock plus can block their ads.

My preference is SeaMonkey,FF,Google Chrome & SRware Iron in that order.
SeaMonkey & FF are related. If I could find a video download addon for Google Chrome,I'd be happy

I don't know, BUT chrome is the most secure browser. ALL the others are flawed. Hackers hack every year we browsers, IE 1st, fFOX 2nd and others follow. Note that Chrome has never been cracked by hacker. Maybe in the 2012 test Chrome will be hacked. We will see. But what's the problem of installing that addon in anyway? I don't use it, but if u use it u won't lose anything, the speed is the same not like fFox where u install 1-2 addons and it crashes

Thanks for your reply.

I have one, it's called " Ultimate YouTube Downloader " But it is only for YouTube ;-)

Mozilla Firefox

Its not that much slower - but even if there is a delay of a few seconds, its still worthwhile as you only open the browser once - and the other advantages last all sessions. As to slow opening sites - for me its almost the same as I have a 10mb broadband connection

10mbps or 10MegaByte/s ??? Cause mine is 24Mbps (in reality it's 15 MAX, 24 is lie) = 1.8mb/s MAX and it has some seconds delay but that's not the problem. the problem is that it is more "fat" it is slow generaly. chrome is much speedier imo

In my case according to the tests I normally get 9.8 download and over 1 upload using a cable provider.

However as to speed its subjective, and when choosing a browser its not only the speed of starting, but also how it comes configured and how you can configure it.

Some examples imo where Firefox excels over Chrome is the way it distinguishes between SSL sites and Extended SSL (Firefox and IE follow one standard cand Chrome does its own thing), the addons I mentioned earlier, saved password editor, new taburl and bookmark favourite icon editor all make things a lot easier.

One thing I would think we both agree on is that Google is a better search engine than BING and thats the default for both. I wonder if Bing is designed to be poor so Microsoft obtain additional click through incomes as well as having an increased count of the number of pages people click to get info. To me Bing deserves to be put on the scrap heap as its worse than Vista compared to Windows 7.

Yo speak a lot about SSL and Extended SSL. I do not know what are those, but for me Chrome is better. Chrome has addons too, they are equally the same now! [In the past fFox was the best but now not because it is slow now (it wasn't that slow in the past)]

The difference between SSL and Extended SSL is that the organisation who issues the certificate has validated that the domain is actually owned by the company who has actually purchased the certificate. In Firefox and IEs case when you have Extended SSL - the URL Bar goes Green, and with SSL its Pale Blue (FF) or White (IE). The idea is that if domain was created for a bank such as H.SCB.COM to mimic HSBC to catch people or to send fake links, it would be a lot harder for them to get an Extended SSL certificate and thus fool people to part with their details. Chrome does distinguish between the two but for me the Green/Blue/Red - idea is far easier to understand. URL below explains the differences in colours and certificates

thanks

Thanks,it works great.:grinthumb

no problem

idk why people are even arguing here
u always say the brower that ur using is the best...no

as the news says chrome is becoming betther,gaining people
everyone else is mostly losing... nuff said

Yes, if you choose to believe what others say. Otherwise, just because I say SeaMonkey is the best, the next person may of never heard of it & wish to argue. Therefore, IMO to each their own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers
