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.

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!

FIREfox! says:

Of course go with mozilla firefox, been using it for years.. tried google chrome but doesn't fancy me.. plus mozilla have extensions such as smarterfox,bookmarks, and many more... the only thing i see faster in google chrome is that embedded flash load faster...Example: facebook flash games..

John Bull says:

Google Chrome is less than useless. Has as much fat on it as a Savannah carcase.
Google Chrome is to browsers what Cinderella is to Deep Throat.

kunal says:

user-friendly,system-friendly easy to operate stoes passwords...wat more do you want firefox's the best.

OhMySally says:

Right now I'm sticking with Firefox after trying Chrome 2 weeks ago.

jeffwend says:

Right now I have IE, Safari, and FF. For some reason I just don't want to download another browser.

Give me Google Chrome any day!

Google chrome"fans says:

Now of days if you use avast!antivirus and google chrome is absolutely match..More secure,more stable,more faster!!!

Julius says:

Google Chrome is faster in terms of browsing and surfing the net. Mozilla have more functionality, simply all the things you want in a browser. I use chrome for faster browsing.

Anonymous says:

Google Chrome is just a far superior browser. Much more stable, javascript runs faster and more actual browsing space.

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! ;)

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

Who's Talking about Google Chrome 

Everyone's (well nearly everyone) talking about it!

Google Chrome Releases: Stable update: Crash fixes

The Battle of the Browsers 

All over the internet (aside from this lens) the Battle of the Browsers rages on...

Want to know more?

Then, take a look at some of these:

uTest Bug Battle.
The battle of the browsers.
Browser battle: IE 8 vs Opera 9.5 vs Safari vs Firefox 3
Prizefight: Battle of the browsers.

Or maybe you just prefer Internet Explorer! 

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?

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!

Joan4 says:

I would use any browser except IE. I prefer Firefox, especially for Squidoo. But Chrome is easy to use and a super back up browser!

hollandnumerics says:

I've got my own lens "Is Mozilla Firefox better than Internet Explorer?", but my vote is for Firefox, because of its better speed, security, usability and flexibility relative to IE. The only web site I visit regularly that doesn't work with Firefox is www.microsoft.com!!

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.

    I'll use any one but FireFox.
    It just annoys me, to be honest.
    I think that Google Chrome seems fairly good, but I'm still in favour of the classic Internet Explorer browser.

    Great debate topic once again! I hope Google Chrome works some kinks out of its system. It definitely runs Javascript faster than Firefox, but Firefox is dependable. Chrome runs funny on some web pages, especially when submitting forms, saving things (like drafts or modules here on Squidoo), and on CafePress. Congrats on getting your wings this round, Squid Angel blessed!

    I've tried both and still find myself with Firefox. I have a ton of add-ons that just aren't supported by Google Chrome as of yet. 5*****

    I like Chrome's speed, and Facebook works SOO much better with Chrome. But Firefox has extensions, and useful ones at that. I love FFox's extensions, such as Tab mix plus, Xmarks, Web Developer, Firebug, Chatzilla, etc..
