Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

Ranked #29 in Computers & Electronics, #520 overall

Mozilla Firefox? Perhaps! Google Chrome? Maybe!

Which is better? Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

Since this squidoo lens was made, things have changed. My opinion has changed, for starters. But, has yours? Which do you think is the better internet browser between Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome?

Have your say on this lens!

Which browser do you prefer?

Why?

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?

What do you think?

P.S You don't have to be a member of Squidoo in order to comment, join in with the debate or take the polls!

Why has my opinion changed?

I'm using Opera at present

Mozilla Firefox has twice let me down in a big way. I've been unlucky to have had to deal with viruses that have only been found in Mozilla that has caused me to completely overhaul my computer.

Two interesting links you may want to visit about my problems with Mozilla Firefox recently are below:

Internet Explorer in Emergency Mode
How to Work Around 'About Internet Explorer Emergency Mode'

But, this is about IE though, isn't it? Yes and no. The virus occurred whilst I was editing one of my Squidoo lenses in Mozilla Firefox. A quick trip to How to videos via the video module and I was hit. The only browser I could open in the end was IE. I had to uninstall Mozilla Firefox in the process of cleaning up the computer and ridding it of the virus.

The first virus occurred in Mozilla Firefox only and was only removed by uninstalling the browser.

Google Chrome is causing problems in a different way. More on that, later! :)

Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

It has to be Mozilla Firefox!

Berita Sehat says:

its great than chrome may be

Berita Sehat says:

mozilla firefox for now, maybe... :D

hirephp says:

i would like to say that i prefer Firefox

MillBucks says:

I say Firefox because some of the add ons are just time savers for me.

Kervate says:

Many more useful features and I find the overall layout much more pleasing, both practically and aesthetically. Add ons available can be very useful such as image resizing, colour coding for tabs and a rainbow add on that allows you to select colours from your screen. Google Chrome may be more light weight and faster, I find Firefox to be a much more powerful and useful browser however and find that with decent security software and a good deal of common sense, any security flaws in Firefox are negligible.

Give me Google Chrome any day!

doorandmore says:

I love chrome and I'm very happy with it,but I can't open Squidoo on my Chrome,also Firefox does not have "Pin it" extension,so I'm totally confuse between those.

VvVvVvVvVvV says:

Its just chrome....i mean come on -_-

kfres39389 says:

It's kinda close. Whereas Google Chrome is fast, reliable, and is all around awesome, Firefox doesn't save info if you don't want it to and is supported by more websites than Chrome. Overall, I'd have to say Chrome if I have to pick one.

mycalculadora says:

chrome is much better although recently i've noticed in mac, it seems to be taking up a lot of RAM, especially when Flash is involved so who know if i'll change my mind at some point...

RandomChuck says:

I've been using Chrome for a long time now. Just can't leave it.

Time to vote!

Loading poll. Please Wait...

Or maybe you just prefer Internet Explorer!

Make a choice

If you much prefer Internet Explorer over ANY other browser then argue the 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?

Internet Explorer without a doubt!

unnykannan says:

internet explorer is the best i have ever seen

Cassiecleo says:

Internet Explorer - a ver close second compared to Google Chrome.

JoeSteinbeck says:

I like IE because it's slow, displays webpages incorrectly, and fails miserably at the simplest programming.

Brookcherit says:

I have tried both browsers, however I dont feel so secure. Sometimes I noticed slow downs in both browsers.

jeremejazz says:

Yeah

Another browser! Which one though? You say!

hirephp says:

Mozilla firefox

mycalculadora says:

IE is going extinct and rightfully so. definitely prefer chrome!

MillBucks says:

IE is sooooooo much old news, this is now considered a dinosaur in my book!

webstatsart says:

definitely safari

mennella says:

IE is not a browser, it's a desease
