Mozilla Firefox? Yes! Google Chrome? No!

Which is better? Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

Right, you've had plenty of time to download and install Google Chrome so now, you must have a pretty good idea of how it works and whether you prefer it over Mozilla.

So, no more pussy footing around, okay?

Thank you to ciukes for the title image :)

Which browser do you prefer? 

Don't be scared of placing your vote for your favourite browser, or stating your opinion. It's what I want on this Lens! Your opinion will be respected 100% (providing, of course, it's not attacking anyone personally...)

Which browser do you prefer?

Why?
What does it do that the other browser doesn't?
What do you believe is its strongest point? Its weakest?
Does it have potential to be even better than before?

So, can Google Chrome knock Mozilla Firefox off its perch?

I don't think it can...

What do you think?

Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

It has to be Mozilla Firefox!

WindyWinters says:

I switched to Google Chrome because I was frustrated with IE crashing all the time. It hasn't crashed once in over a month. I like that it remembers my favorite bookmarks on my homepage. I haven't tried Firefox.

kiwisoutback says:

I've tried both for a couple of weeks, and I think Firefox is winning for me. Chrome seems a little buggy on certain pages, while Firefox loads instantly. Plus, Firefox and Squidoo work perfectly together.

Rao says:

Firefox is better as a Browser compared to Chrome.
Through chrome is fast loading and light weight. It doesnt guarantee privacy in true sense. The Browser installs itself in a suspisious fashion that surely is a worry for me.

Oosquid says:

The Fox.

SamyRoumieh says:

Good job-

Give me Google Chrome any day!

bretts says:

I do like them both. I had some Firefox bugs so I started using Chrome. Now I have a system of production with Chrome. Chrome cannot do everything that Firefox can, so I often use both at the same time.

JaguarJulie says:

Well, I have yet to try Google Chrome -- so, by default, it's FireFox! ;)

Swiftwalker says:

I had used fox for few years now, but must say I pefer Chrome now the features are just great and handy once you found them...

MetalHacker says:

chrome is the best when it comes to browsing, it's the fastest browser i've ever seen and also the simplest. right now i prefer firefox but only because there aren't any add-ons for chrome, so in the future i will switch to chrome unless firefox has something more to show!

Maximille says:

well it's from google, once they stop paying firefox for the search bar, who knows what will happen... right now firefox, in the not so distant future, chrome.

Thanks to everyone who rated, commented and voted for this Lens!

Keep checking back for new updates and information.

Google Chrome 

Downloads, reviews, resources etc.

Download the latest release: Current Version: 0.2.149.30

Or try: Google Chrome (BETA)

By the sounds of it, Google Chrome is building a following and I suppose I can see why if you're someone who is looking for simplicity. I mean, you can't get much simpler than Google Chrome. There's nothing to it! It's plain, boring and has no redeeming features.

Mind you, it doesn't take long for worthwhile resources to start cropping up all over the place...(though I don't want to be seen to be promoting Chrome...sssshhh!):

My Recommended Google Chrome Resources:
Google Chrome Themes - There are some nice themes here but that much choice but stick with it. I'm sure the collection will expand as time goes on.
Google Chrome board will give you tips and advice for customising Google Chrome, downloading Google Chrome Extensions and support.
Google Chrome Styles, Mods and Plugins.
The Chrome Voice - News and Information about the Google Chrome Browser.
Chrome Spot - Another great forum which includes links to a Chrome Theme Switcher and a Chrome Theme Maker. I'm sure there's loads more to be had on this forum; these are just two of the tools that are featured because they're the most popular.
Zemanta Bookmarklet - use Zemanta on Safari, Chrome and other browsers

Or maybe you just prefer Internet Explorer! 

Okay, you win!

If you much prefer Internet Explorer over ANY other browser then argue the to..point here.

This is Internet Explorer versus Any Browser.

Fair? I think so! See, which browser comes out on top now.

Sorry, Mac users! This is for PC owners only...

Which is better? Internet Explorer or another browser?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Internet Explorer without a doubt!

CleanerLife says:

I can't understand why people would use FireFox over IE. Except for the scripts that make FireFox look better at Squidoo and SquidU, IE is a much better browser. I can't even get FireFox able to work with streaming sites, like LastFM or XM Radio, so I'll stream with IE while I do other things with FF and Chrome.

On many sites, I get page load errors with FireFox, but IE and Chrome are able to connect to them with no problem.

I've never had to pay to upgrade IE, I've also never had to waste time trying to figure out which plugins I need to get IE to work right with a site, but I have wasted more time than I find reasonable at 'Firefox Add-ons' trying to figure out what I need to get FF working right.

Another browser! Which one though? You say!

Mozzila Enterprise Lmtd says:

As our technology improves so does that world wide web. You need a reasonable web browser. Internet explorer has got its fame from bill gates but there are more browsers out there that can literary make you so happy. Internet explorer makes me cry cause its an internet thats all, i want a "stunning web browser" not internet

kiwisoutback says:

IE is bogus. I have five words for you: "This page cannot be displayed."

spirituality says:

IE7 is not bad, but the extensions of firefox make it a musthave browser - for webdevelopers anyhow.

Oosquid says:

I'm scared of I.E.

MiaBellezza says:

IE is too buggy and prone to virus attacks. I love the plug-ins on Firefox particularly NoScripts which has stopped all virus attacks against my PC.
