Poll: alright, this is it! CHROME OR FIREFOX?

[Kevlar Eater]

Firefox has gotten sluggish for me, so I primarily use Google Chrome.

Honestly, I just wish more people would back up their preference. I am constantly amazed how many people like Browser A, and back it up by saying "it's just good" or some other silly or sarcastic statement.

For example, I don't like that chrome doesn't do an auto 'I'm feeling lucky' when I type a search phrase into the URL spot. But I do like that it is much lighter on my memory and CPU.

Personally, Opera.
Occasional crashes aside, the custom search string function is glorious.

 

[Madskull]

My personal option would be Firefox, but that's just because I got used to it by now. I use it since 2005 and I'm not in a rush to switch browsers now.

Firefox. You can be... selective on what browsing history you want to delete.

 

[Tharwen]

Firefox so slow now that I sometimes think Mozilla is taking the piss.

No program created to interpret text documents should take 3 minutes to open.

Ever.

 

[Pielikey]

Chrome, Because it's wicked fast. And now that Chrome has extensions, firefox doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on.

 

[killamanhunter]

Chrome takes some getting used to compared to Firefox but I have noticed a lot faster connection than Firefox or IE

Chrome. Firefox is cool and all, but Chrome just shines man.
Shines.

Chrome has the "most viewed" sites when you open it up, and a list of recently closed tabs, and porn mode, and seems to load pages faster in my experience, and lots of other little things that add up to a great browser.

Neither I use Internet Explorer and it works fine for me.
I have no idea why it gets so much bad press.

IE does not fit the needs of people who demand more than their computer/internet experience. IF it does the job fine then that's okay. But the more "serious" (for lack of a better word, no offense) surfers need something better. And I can't even think of any benefits of IE over FF/Chrome.

 

[Chrono212]

Both.

AHAHAH! I'm making your decision harder! >:3

And it's true, I use Chrome on my laptops coz it's just faster but Firefox I like coz...it's got fox in it's name X3

I second the motion of IE being underrated.

Who needs a dozen addons you rarely use anyway?

 

[Darknacht]

They both suck. You should use Opera.

 

[likalaruku]

Firefox.

come on, it's a fox... that's on fire!

A firefox is actually a red panda, which is actually related to a raccoon.

 

[blankedboy]

Firefox, because it let me get Apocalypse Lane on my iPod.
MAKE CHROME DO THAT, BITCHAZ.

 

[HK_01]

Chrome's like a goddamn virus. No matter how many times I delete it, it keeps on reinstalling itself. Apparently using Google Earth means that I want Chrome, too.

Edit: And I second the notion that IE is underrated. I use it a lot and it works just fine, while Firefox crashes the Flash Player Plugin quite frequently.

 

[Zarthek]

For me, it depends on what i'm doing. Just surfing the web or reading something I use google chrome. If I want to go over to say... Kongregate and play some flash games I play it on Firefox, and if neither of those work when they should I get out Safari.

My grandma is faster than IE. That's the only and enough reason. Seriously, there's this thing called GPU with tens or hundreds of graphics cores yet it still hogs the CPU at it. Chrome is smarter in this respect.

IE9 seems to address the issue, but it is still beta and craps out too often.

EDIT: GPU-Z is the utility I used to see the GPU load... I meant just "GPU" in the sentence.
EDIT2: Maybe they both use it, but this far, my computer gets slower and slower just with IE stuff open, so...

Both are good. Once you get used to the somewhat simplified interface, Chrome is significantly more stable. I've never had a single problem with Chrome, whereas Firefox can sometimes degenerate into a buggy, crashy mess (both on my current, up to date, newish machine and on my old Linux based laptop). Also, if you have an Android phone, Chrome-to-phone is surprisingly useful.

That said, I still use Internet Explorer for some things, but my usage of it is decreasing significantly.
