Firefox Still Better
Alright, I have in the past few days discussed how I was insatiably excited for Google’s new Chrome web browser. Today all I have to say is that it is no better than Firefox. We all know Google made Chrome using open source code including Mozilla’s, and we all know that Google Chrome supposedly is a step closer towards a Web OS. However after using it for a day I have encountered quite a few problems and have missed any major improvements in speed or usability. Chrome also has instances of freezing or displaying a web page wrongly (such as the upper right hand corner of my blog); Firefox has no such scruples. I still am a fan of Mozilla, a basically non for profit organization who makes all of their money for allowing Google to be the default search (approximately 80 percent of their income). Mozilla will still draw more devout GNU support based on it’s opus understanding of the value of free software and countering inefficiencies found in other web browsers.

You can’t compare a beta product with a full blown final product. What did you expect? So it’s normal that it freezes and crashes and shows pages incorrectly. So if you base your point that Firefox is still better, on trying an incomplete beta product for only 1 day…

Notice the word “still” in the main header. Chrome has obviously not realized it’s full potential yet, and as of right now Firefox is still better; that was the point.

Ok, sorry if I misunderstood that you were stating this as a fact and failure of Chrome. I only use Chrome for testing and non-business-critical websites, but overall, I’m impressed with it.
