Firefox >>> Chrome

[schneiderguy]

I'm part of the Opera user master race myself. Not that anyone cares about us

They do have a version of it but sadly you really can't edit it like you can in abp , that's the big drawback as some stuff that are not ads get blocked also, and it's like chromes where the stuff loads and will show for a few seconds before poofing.

Ugh. Regardless of people's opinion if the ABP for Chrome is less effective than FF, it does NOT show the ads before removing them!

For me, Opera >> Chrome >> Firefox, and here's why:

Visual Tabs
Email Client
Panels
Customization (eg, my tab-bar is on the right)
Private Tabs
Other browsers require third-party addons to equal Opera's built-in functionality
Keyboard shortcuts
Mouse Gestures <=== THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things...

<3 mouse gestures. Firefox gets a close second due to the numerous plugins I can install to get it closer to the perfection that is Opera.

I do QA and prefer Chrome over all other browsers. I use all browsers almost every day and prefer Chrome because of how it organizes tabs and when closing tabs, everything still stays organized. No other browser does it like Chrome. Haven't downloaded the new Firefox yet but even Firefox sucked at organizing tabs.

I use opera mostly, you can right click the ads to block works great. You can use AB but it isn't as good as the ones they make for firefox or chrome.

chrome > firefox

i've been using firefox for years

now it's chrome /hug

 

[watek]

chrome ftw!

can't deal with firefox blurry ass shit.

 

[Taejin]

My reason, I type what I want in the address bar and it directly takes me to the website, for example, I type "anandtech forums" and wallah... Chrome, takes me to the google search result page. List yours...

voila you idiots!! VOILA NOT WALLAH

I'm too fucking tired to type shit out right now but Opera ftw! Opera is an example of a great product that suffers poor marketing.

*runs into the corner, paddles self with both shame and pleasure.

btw, how does one get those damn ticky tick marks? (over the "a")

I can never type those out. is it just alt-something? does one have to set a macro?

I never use them b/c it involves too much BS. :\

I can't believe you confused voilà with viola :biggrin:

Still use Firefox for GreaseMonkey and some other add-ons. Mostly out of old habit, too lazy to change.

Tried IE9 once, but it kept telling me that add-ons were slowing my browsing down, which slowed my browsing down...

 

[BabaBooey]

IE9 is amazingly fast.

But with no ABP, I cant use it. =(

And sucks memory more than firefox does......

Why use Chromium instead of Chrome, they are almost identical.

It gets updated every day and is always a version ahead of Chrome. Then again, Chrome's versioning system is on crack. Version 10, lol. More like 1.1. Chromium is on v12.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Derr, Netscape is the best.

Don't know if you've read the reviews, but Chrome 10 is pretty much mopping the floor with Firefox 4 and IE9 performance.

 

[lxskllr]

There's more to a browser than raw speed. Lynx is the fastest, but I still prefer Firefox. Opera's pretty good, but Chrome is too stripped down, and ugly as hell. I haven't used IE9 yet, but I haven't been on Windows much either.

Chrome > Opera >>> Firefox >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IE

everyone knows this.

Firefox 4 released today and it is bad ass. sooo much faster than 3.6

But still slower than Chrome, especially on my laptop.

 

[dandruff]

So now there's at least 5 of us?!?

I run both. I run google voice + fb on chrome. fb has became too big and too interconnected with other sites.

ie. i pointed my friend to pandora and he went there for the first time. pandora automatically knows who he is and his music preference is pulled from his fb instantly.

 

[Fritzo]

Yeah---Firefox 4 was released yesterday. Get up to date

Chrome sacrifices rendering things wonky at first for a few milliseconds of perceived loading speed. IIRC FF has about:config setting that can do the same.

I will not use Chrome until they come up with a way to disable those ghetto site icons that litter the UI like browser.chrome.favicons=false does. I wrote a Chrome extension to try and do it but their extension APIs are ineffective in blocking the icons. I even blocked http[s?]://*.ico on a proxy and Chrome still was able to render the Google and Gmail site icons. I fucking despise those things.

Violet! I like it.
