If you use the browser to store your passwords, the browser becomes your password manager. So those who use the browser to keep their passwords are in effect using a password manager. Mobile is a dodgy thing anymore. I have used Chrome since for as long as I can remember, however after reading this, I feel like it might be time for me to make the switch to Firefox.
Ahem, maybe open both the browsers and check in task manager which one is using more system resources. With Google now officially neutering ad blockers within Chrome, I am making the switch to using Firefox as my primary browser. The ongoing privacy issues with Google continue to be a concern, which make the tough decision of switching from their browser a necessity. Always remember, Google makes their money from ad revenue, and many sources have shown they track everything done with their browser.
Chrome is very demanding browser. Hi, please help me with my FF thread! I am a non-geek user, who recently was forced due to nomore MS support to switch from a Win7 laptop to a Win10 laptop. My question is — is the internet these days intended to be mainly geared to tech-savvy people? Are non-geeks in a tiny minority, and intended to not be offered clear communication anymore? And should they not have validated vs.
Can I continue using Firefox as my default but add Chrome as a secondary option for those sites not accessible on FF. For example HealthNet. Please keep it simple. I have been extremely happy. I find the toolbars and history access to be quite handy.
Love the fact that I have access to my desktop toolbar from my phone and everything updates seamlessly. Private search tab is also a nice feature. You can get an add-on for Firefox that will do a reverse image search for Google, Bing, Tineye, and Yandex, etc. Beware that even using FF, if you use Google search engine and have a Google account all the search info is available to Google.
I always used Chrome. Then I started to use it on a laptop with lower memory 8GB and it would wail. Turns out it was Chrome that was making the laptop do that I guess by hogging memory.
I started using FireFox. I do not hear the noise anymore. I am going to be using FireFox now on. I agree. I used to use Chrome, until I found out that the new updates made my laptop unstable I have 4GB RAM so I was on the hunt for a new browser that would be more gentle on my system.
I tried many of them, Firefox derivatives, Chrome derivatives, then I settled with Firefox. What makes Firefox more popular is that it comes pre-installed on many Linux distros the Linux term for Linux variants such as Ubuntu.
I have used Firefox for years and will continue to use it. One advantage I found in Chrome: it can print directly from any Google Docs file. In Firefox, you first have to create a. You are sort of wrong about Chrome and tabs. If you are able to widen the window, these tabs will appear on the right end. Also, technically it will smoosh the favicons a bit to make the most room it can before failing to show tabs, thought that is being pedantic.
See the linked image, there are the same number of tabs open in each, but more of them become accessible as I widen it. I had been using firefox since the age of 14 and now I 24, the thing is I never got any issues till now.
I support Firefox and will keep supporting. Why, oh why did Mozilla have to break their product on Android in that terrible way in the last update? The way this UI change was forced on users makes people run to Chrome in the thousands, it seems. Has Mozilla suicidal tendencies? According to me, first four rounds should be tie as both are nearly equal. The comparison is really unbiased, its difficult to find such unbiased comparisons on internet. Looks like Chrome does and is very vague about it!
Just like Facebook and others. Yet, a lot of ill- informed people still signup! Are they fools or what? The majority of users have no idea what these companies are doing with their info let alone that they are stealing it and profiting from it.
I tried other browsers but those experiences just confirmed that Firefox is the right direction. Mozilla focuses on people, not on business and that counts. Fully agree with their Manifesto, where Principle 9 says commercial involvement in the development of the internet brings many benefits; but a balance between commercial profit and public benefit is critical. I used Chrome on my current work PC for about the past 10 months and switched to Firefox two weeks ago.
My biggest complaint about Chrome is not security or memory usage or even privacy. It is simply that in Chrome, when you have more tabs open than can fit in the horizontal width of your monitor, the tabs on the right side become inaccessible without stretching the browser across multiple monitors. I tried to live with it. But then, when I wanted to darken my PC to reduce eye strain but still be productive, I found no good solutions for Chrome.
Plus I can turn it off for individual pages when I need to. Note that I surf with tabs open, though not all are actually loaded. Is there an extension to actually count them all?
This was the main reason I switched to Chrome. I used to use Firefox a few years ago. I switched to Chrome and found out all internet sites and searches worked better.
Fast forward to I cut cable, strictly internet. Streaming services were awful. Went back to Firefox. I have found certain sites and searches are more troublesome, but have found some solutions. I only use Chrome when I have to. TV switch you will be amazed. The monster seems to have won. The latest fiasco have been dynamic stock charts not working at the lower level javascript API level. Not anymore. Great debate…I learned a lot. Thank you all for your thoughts-based-on-experience!
I will install both! Problem solved! I think Firefox wins by so much. I may have to restart every once and a while, but Chrome takes up so much memory, So I can have like 12 tabs open in FF, and take up the same usage as a 3 tab Chrome. However and against all the evidence, Chrome is the best browser if you want to save your computer battery because Mozilla consumes it fast.
Concerning the page loading speed, Mozilla has made quite an effort with the release of its Firefox Quantum version that allows it to compete with Chrome without any difficulty. Chrome is the most used browser in the world and, de facto, the large Majority of websites are made for Chrome.
That can provoke some issues for Firefox to correctly read some websites. In some cases, Firefox can crash and ruin your browsing. You want your browsing data to stay private? Although it offers, like Firefox, a private browsing mode and that you can add some plugins to increase your privacy VPN, anti tracking, etc… Chrome belongs to Google.
The American firm is not known for the respect of the privacy of their customers since they based their business model on collecting the information of their users…. Chrome is quite complete and intuitive and it collects your data whereas Firefox is very complete but can be quite difficult to manage for some people. If you want to customize your experience and have a browser respectful of your privacy you should go to Firefox.
Firefox, however, has the edge for ease of use. Things like a larger back button, customizable menu bars, and simpler settings options make Firefox more user-friendly overall.
I tested my internet speeds both on the popular SpeedTest. RAM is essentially your computer's short-term memory where it stores apps you're using for quick access. For browsers, more RAM on your computer means you can have more browser tabs, add-ons, and extensions without your computer slowing down.
If your computer slows down and you're running just a web browser, chances are that web browser is eating up all your computer's RAM. I found that Firefox used more RAM than Chrome, which not only debunks Mozilla's claims but comes as a huge surprise considering Chrome's reputation as a computer performance killer. For the sake of clarity: I started with fresh versions of Chrome and Firefox and loaded the same websites on both browsers.
I've also tested this before, when Mozilla first made the claim about its new Firefox browser in late , and found the same result. Mozilla claims that Firefox loads websites slightly faster than Chrome. Firefox does seem snappier sometimes, but not always. The page loads slightly faster than on Chrome — the image shows almost instantaneously, while Chrome takes a few extra milliseconds.
Both Google Chrome and Firefox have stores for add-ons and extensions, where you can find useful tools to enhance your browsing experience.
For example, each store has a variety of password managers that let you create strong passwords and log you in automatically to websites. You can check Chrome's or Firefox's store to see whether it has the add-ons and extensions you want.
