Google Chrome VS Firefox!

Posted By: Friday 2 April 2010 14 Comments

I’m a big fan of Firefox and I’ve been using it for so many years and it has never let me down.
Now as we all know there is a new player in town when it comes down to browsers. This new player is made by Google and it’s called Chrome. I’ve waited a long time to give this a shot as I didn’t want to test it when it was beta and/or if it was just released. Just to give it a  fair chance against Firefox.

So some weeks ago I installed Google Chrome on my Windows 7 PC and did a test drive for some days and I must say: Damn, Google Chrome isn’t what I expected and it really disappointed me! Why? just keep reading!

  • Faster startup
    This is the only thing which I can say that Google Chrome does better then Firefox!
    Yeah it sure start up faster than Firefox. However this was never an issue to me.
  • Stability
    To me Google Chrome didn’t seem any stable as Firefox as I had a lot of troubles viewing a lot of websites with Chrome. The browser froze all the time and having more then 5 tabs open was like I was working on a BIG Photoshop file, Illustrator file, Indesign AND editing a video all at the same time!
    The browser also crashed my PC when I wanted to open the webshop of JoicoEurope (Company where I work!) which is a normal webshop without any bad codings etc… (believe me.. I Know that for sure!)
    This happened to me a lot of other times with other websites too.
  • Extensions / add-ons
    There are some nice extensions for Chrome but not as many as for Firefox. In this case Firefox is the BIG winner!
  • CPU usage:
    At my Windows Ultimate x64 bits system Firefox uses less memory then Google Chrome with the same amounts of tab open.

I also did installed this at work on a Windows XP PC but I noticed the same problems; Crashing up, a lot of troubles viewing websites etc…

So at the end when I look at the results I can say only one thing; Google Chrome isn’t better then Firefox. So why should I switch? My point exactly! :wink:
If you’re using FireFox and want to give Google Chrome a try, be my guest but don’t expect it’s better than FireFox. :wink:

What about you? Have you tried Google chrome? And what did you think about it!?

  5. These are some good comparisons that I actually have also deduced. I like to use Chrome whenever the internet is slow, but other than that I use firefox.

  7. Chrome is sleeker and nicer than Firefox but Firefox addons make it the first choice for most people specially for bloggers.

    I usually keep several different browsers on my computer. I’ve tried both of these. Firefox still wins hands down for me, but Chrome is getting better.

    I see.. Well, I always use Firefox Michelle. The other browser I have installed on my PC is IE which I ONLY use to check my e-mails at home!

    Totally true Blogger Widgets!

    I would like to see Chrome & FireFox to work with eachother Ratty cause that would make the difference! :)
