Which Browser do you Use: Firefox or Chrome?

[marshlander]

Opera mainly for convenience and Firefox when I want to do something more securely, although very occasionally IE and, when I allow my Apple to reach into the world, Safari.

IE although I regularly rant about it, and Firefox, which seems to do a better job on lots of things, especially managing Facebook applications.

Depends what computer I'm on (and/or whatever browser i feel like using),...
*Firefox (the main one i use...with both the ABP & NoScript addons!)
Firebird (the predisesor to Firefox)
Netscape (anyone here old enough to remember that ?? LOL)
I won't use IE at home (if i could delete the thing i would).
I deff wouldn't install Chrome (its a google thing afterall, who knows what sorta spyware is lurking in it)

Firefox is bothering me lately. It keeps crashing and freezing on me. I can't be bothered to get to the bottom of it other than checking that it was fully updated and I had no viruses. (*arrogant laugh* Me? Get a virus? Yeah, right!) Probably an extension/add on problem. Lazy Zophia is Lazy. Chrome works just fine so it's what I'm using right now.

Believe it or not I've almost never used anything but IE. Most people i know use firefox though.

I haven't used Windows for about 10 years, but when I did I used Netscape...IE is like a turd painted gold.

... Netscape (anyone here old enough to remember that ?? LOL)

Yes, I used it for a few years in the 90s.

... I deff wouldn't install Chrome (its a google thing afterall, who knows what sorta spyware is lurking in it)

That's my concern about Chrome, otherwise I might download it and try it out.

Chrome does have a few setting which do push the privacy boundery for me a bit i'll admit.

EG:
"Enable Instant for faster searching and browsing
Omnibox input may be logged Learn more"


But you can just turn those features off. So i did.

As for add-ons...the last time i tried a few a year ago, they were quite vague and broad with their permissions, so i decided against using them. But if it's changed to anything like Android's permissions system from the last time i used it. Than maybe i'll have another look into add-ons.:redface:

So hopefully that may put some fears to rest.mile:

I tend to use Chrome as my primary browser, and FireFox as a development browser. The firebug plug for FF, despite Chrome and IE having very similar features built in, is the best general development/debugging tool that I've found.

I've also been collecting stats on my blog for the past 4 years now and It looks like IE, FF and Chrome are all pretty much neck-and-neck(-and-neck, I suppose) with each other. Chrome is rising, IE is falling and FF has stays around the same as it was 4 years ago.

Here is more detail of my analysis, if you are interested: Browser Wars

NOTE: It is not scientific analysis, it is based on only my web properties (now consolidated into one blog) and the spike in favour of Windows Vista (in August 2008) is only as a result of me posting a blog entry about how to get around some installation problem on Windows Vista which caused a lot of people with that OS, naturally, to visit my blog who had the same issue.

Browsers is a problem.. There's a lot of them and, for me, it's hard to decide sometimes...

In my laptop I use the Chrome (Facebook, Forums, Torrents, news, etc),and Opera (bank and some sites that Chrome didn't work well).

In the PC, I only use Chrome, It seems better for reading in the big screen.

In the phone I use the default browser (Samsung's browser works well!),and Opera.
