"Firefox is over. There, I've said it.
What exactly is it about Mozilla Firefox that I find so objectionable?
On a technical level, I agree with practically all the points raised in a recent Slashdot discussion (tinyurl.com/ctgspc). If you're looking for a technical discussion, it's best to read that.
The problem I have with Firefox is more pragmatic: it just doesn't feel right any more. It feels wrong. Somehow, it's struggling to keep up with the web the way we use it now, and the way we're almost certainly going to be using it in the future."

Every one wants it, but it's behind the times.
but i tried it and i simply didn't like it.. as of now.. firefox is still king.. and i don't expect that to change anytime soon
Not sure what you mean exactly by "A fully threaded Javascript engine," but Firefox 3.1's Tracemonkey javascript rendering engine is faster than Chrome's V8.
If you want AdBlock, noScript and Flash Block, which make browsing so much more effective, then go for firefox. No more annoying flash ads, no more redirection scripts, a f-cking godsend.
It doesn't matter that Chrome does support extensions, it's that they're not there yet. No one who browses with adblock ever goes back.

"It means that every tab's resources are mixed in with every other tab's resources meaning you get constant memory leaks and other performance degredation with Firefox."
Only, that's not true, and memory management is much improved. Yes, all the tabs are mixed up together, but in the real world, that keeps memory usage down. Sure, maybe after a few days of browsing, memory usage will exceed that of Chrome. Great!
FireFox is great but it does have a lot of problems.
you jus made chrome look bad
" * Complete memory protection for every tab "
y would u want that
wen i go to a$$p@rAde.com in a new tab, i expect it not to save the history
ask urself this people
would you want your sister to know your jerk it to p0rn0?
im sure we'll all be using firefox for a long time
"Keep clinging to that outdated POS browser..." [Firefox]
And you can cling on to flash advertising and javascript popups.
But remember! You can run those javascript advertising interstitials faster than anyone else! Isn't Chrome great!
Chrome is fast, but it's functionality and settings are too "easy".
I can't even extend the cache of it.
Unlike other search engine vendors, I believe they take 3 years before they delete your data. Yahoo does it in 6 months.
There is one big problem with it. IT FREQUENTLY does NOT WORK!!! Go to www.comedycentral.com and play a full lenght episode of Jon Stewart. Go to WWW.NBC.COM and play a episode! Go to Www.etrade.com and try to do some of the advanced streaming graphs. As soon as you fix those basic problems where it works upon installation then come and talk about it being over for firefox. My thing is I think the other software when it gets added to Chrome will SLOW IT DOWN. If anyone knows of a work around for some of the Chrome problems I mentioned let me know them please. It will change my mind, and maybe a few other peoples minds.
you do know that Google chrome has incognito windows and "Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however."
To sum up what people said up there
guy1 : ZOMG CHROMe is LIKE 0.0001 sec faster than Firefox, and the javascript is like waaaaay~ better
guy2: NA UH~ FireFox have extension and everything, firefox = king!!!
guy1: OH NO U DIDNT!
seriously guys... just use what ever browser you like, some people like opera, some people like chrome or Firefox...
^-^ Pick your poison, because no one gives a ****.
The writer is finished. There I said it!
I guess I'm very much a Chrome fan as of now.

:D
god I'm sick of all this opinionated crap. this should've been reported as bs =P.
I think its the best one!
But I have to admit, Chrome crashes much more than FF. Still though I prefer Chrome for its awesome speed and amazing features.
First people dump internet explorer in favor for Firefox, and now that Firefox has a good share, look what comes around the corner, its the Chrome lobby.
The only time I hear of it is from PS3 only fans from this site.
Thats not what i want in a browser.
Until Chrome allows me to install all the add-ons I have currently installed on Firefox, I will not replace it as my daily browser. There, I said it.
and most people care even less than me.
anyway, as for the best BROWSER... it's definitely Firefox, i tried Chrome.. and it wasn't that great
hell even Sony's browser for the PS3 has faster Flash than Chrome
Over the past couple of weeks... Firefox keeps crashing on certain articles when i click comments on this site, but it doesn't really matter with the restore previous state (Even though, it crashes, again, kinda like windows huh?)
I've got chrome, and I still prefer Firefox, and with such a large fanbase, don't expect it to go down without a fight
Personally, I don't use any add-ons in FireFox, and Chrome runs a lot faster on my computer. I prefer Chrome, but that's me.
Opera had all these features before all these other browsers that are only just getting now.
I'd have to say Opera is the best, looks like FF but very streamlined, doesn't crash when you have addons in it.
Shame that's it's the most under used browser.
Sorry dude, Chrome needs to improve a lot more before it is able to catch up with Firefox.
I can addblock and flashblock..
Firefox, on the other hand, does a pretty damn good Job of rendering the internet (and 3.1/3.5 is going to do an even better job) and has an almost unlimited scope for expansion. Extensions make the browser what it is.
Opera is a great "everything but the kitchen sink" solution that many will like.
IE is.....IE. It's behind them all, but slowly getting there.
This article is poppycock, another one of those "Ohhhh something NEW! Lets abandon everything else and go with shiny shiny new thing!" deals that'll fizzle out in a few months. Chrome is great, but it's got nothing to make it the only sensible choice for a browser, it's just more competition.
LOL
It was slowly fixed through various build , but it's not good enough and fast enough .
So far chrome seems faster and lighter for me . only it's lacking many options , and well cant run right now under win 7 beta .
...with add ons. I will never fully understand those who keep saying "when they add add-ons, I might consider switching." The reality of it is, the add-ons are already here if you're willing to take the time. If you aren't willing to take the time, then I don't understand why one would still take the time to post about it.
The developer version of Chrome has the equivalent of Greasemonkey support... for blocking ads and doing all sorts of other useful things.
If you're the paranoid type, and have avoided adding things like the Google Toolbar to Firefox, then maybe you just want to stick with Firefox. Otherwise, Chrome is currently the equivalent of Firefox with the Google Toolbar... then made 10 times more efficient. Otherwise, the paranoid types could always run Chrome in "incognito" mode... which does not use Google for search suggestions... and does not store the history, cookies, etc...
I use Chrome 99% of the time. Every once in a while there is certain functionality that isn't completely supported by Chrome (like my company's VPN)... but these times are rare. For most sites, Chrome works wonderfully.
Don't get me wrong... I respect Firefox. Firefox is awesome. It's skinnable, has an awesome add-on system, etc, etc... but it has been getting too bloated for my tastes. Chrome is headed in the same direction as Firefox, but keeping certain principles of speed and the user in mind. For instance, they are working really hard to make sure that add-ons are forward compatible with future versions of Chrome. This is unlike Firefox where half the add-ons no longer work when another major revision comes out, and you need to wait for the developers of each add-on to play catch-up.
Finished beating the crap out of joke browsers like IE and now Chrome, get outta here. Firefox >>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>> >>>>> Chrome+IE combined.
...there is a great website to test out some experiments in Chrome. Many of the experiments (which were written before Chrome existed) also work in Firefox. Test these out in your browser of choice... if any don't work, or are slow, check 'em out in Chrome. Some are pretty neat, if you're into that whole "demo scene".
