I Still Prefer Firefox To Google Chrome

After all the commotion over Google’s Chrome browser subsided, I quietly switched back to primarily using Firefox for my internet browsing needs. Yes, Chrome has a nice logo and yes, Chrome was “made” by Google. However Firefox is still the grandparent of open-source fast and secure internet browser technology and Chrome quite honestly is a collection of pre-existing open source code, the bulk of whose was from Firefox.

There are still quite a few bugs in Chrome I would like to see ironed out before it because the click of choice in the startmenu. Of course, there are times when I need more than one browser open at a time, for example if I want to access two Facebook accounts at once, or two Gmail accounts at once. But when that is not the case that I will most likely be using Firefox.

I need not mention Internet Explorer, for it is but a thing of the past. The only use Internet Explorer has is for testing scripts that in more secure browsers wouldn’t be allowed to run at all (mainly VBscript and Javascript).

In conclusion, the gist of this passage is that I still prefer Firefox over Google Chrome.

    I ditched chrome after the first day…I use firefox as well on windows and safari on the mac. Safari isn’t that great but I have no complaints. I’ve tried Opera on OS X and in many ways looks and feels better than Safari or Firefox, but I still had some personal issues with the interface. I’ve never tried Opera on windows… have you?

    i tried Opera on windows earlier this year but didn’t like it – i can’t remember why, but probably either because it was slow, or because sometimes i needed to open website with Chinese or Japanese but Opera could not display them correctly. actually the encoding prob happens to firefox too, but not usually IE.
