now compare chrome to firefox minefield which is the pre-alpha of the next firefox. it's faster then chrome and will have all the extensions available when it is released later in the year.

Right. If you still want to use the Google search without privacy issues use Scroogle.org. It's like a proxy for Google searches and has a great privacy policy.
Scroogle.org has very much information on their site (not easy to browse, though) about why you should hate Google. Makes interesting reading.

i can give two turds off a rats arse if chrome runs faster. my priority in running a specific browser is "PRIVACY", and right now umbrella corporation (google) lacks thereof. i will stand by FF and it's accused bloatware for as long as this browser is supported. i use FF at work and at home will continue to support FF no matter what the critics say (with the exception is FF invades on privacy as well). nuff said!

[cmaurand]

yawn, the cloud again? So not interested in the cloud or chrome.
ho, hum.

[mpheadley]

Um, dontcha think Chrome will be just as bloated as it becomes more popular and more updated? They'll have to update it with features and security just as firefox has and naturally, that will slow it down.

1st - I'm really getting tired of these exaggerated headlines.

2nd - I hate when apps hog memory. As long as I keep hearing that Chrome is one of them, I'm not even going to try it. I thought the Google Toolbar with all it's widgets was cool too, until I realized how much of my resources it was stealing.

3rd - Will Mozilla devs (and potential new devs who like Firefox) just sit back and not compete?

So what's wrong with this website? I clicked to turn off email notification and got this:



Prototype.Browser is undefined



So you can tell I'm using FF3? LMAO

[WinTard]

The title is nonsense.

I like FF. And it will simply have to improve. One cannot rest on past laurels of accomplishments. The reason I like FF is the open-source philosophy, and the fact it runs the same on all platforms.

Whereas Chrome and IE don't run on other platforms (yet)...

Funny, as I was using IE8 under Windows 7 x64 beta, it just hung on this very PCWorld website. On this very post. And terminated...

So here I am back, with IE8 x64. No biggie, but this has never happened to me on this website and FF.

Like Fox it's the best I've ever used and so versatile. Google should buy Mozilla and integrate the 2 browsers. Really not interested in Chrome.

[rgeiken]

I can't imagine switching from Firefox to any other browser since my current 3.0.7 is working great. I have a quad processor with 4 gig of ram running Vista, and couldn't be happier with anything but my Firefox Browser. These articles are foolish since they consider speed to be the most important variable, but Having all the Firefox add ons is really important to me.

[takakia]

I started using Chrome on Windows since the day it was released, and I am very much impressed. I don't care if Google steals my browsing information. I love firefox too, but it needs to get pretty like Chrome. Chrome optimizes your screen, placing the tabs on the window border. Firefox needs to work on cosemtics and usability. Its ok to copy Chrome as long as it is beneficial.

[kitsune17717]

I must agree with this article even though I am a big firefox fan myself. It will only be a matter of time before chrome adds support for plug-ins: then firefox will be doomed. The only reason why i'm still using firefox is because of the extensions that exist for it.

[JimH443]

I had long been ignoring Chrome since my present browser suits my needs just fine. But this article piqued my curiosity. So I downloaded and installed it.
While "pretty", I'll not be using it until they include an option that allows bookmarks to open in a new tab by default.

[rich08jb]

You are assuming Firefox will stand still. Upon what do you base that assertion?

[xlinuks]

The guy uses Ubuntu Linux. Firefox on Linux runs 2 or 3 times slower than on windows, hence he says Firefox is so slow.

[rich08jb]

Not so. I use it n both Windows and Linux. Speed is the same, and not slow.

[Ingram]

Chrome totally performs a lot better. Go ahead, start chrome, IE, and Firefox up. See which one loads the quickest. See which one loads a page the fastest. See which one runs a javascript app the best. Even against Opera. Try it for yourself, Chrome is faster!

[bilalakhtar]

But, Firefox is the best because of its extensions. And it will be faster with the FF 3.5 release which will have the TraceMonkey engine for JS.

[kumvinod]

Chrome must be faster than FF. but for better browsing experience FF is much better.
It is similar to using O/S. Windows is so unreliable and a target to wide variety of Malicious script.. while linux even although not very secure but still far better than windows. But then how many peoples use linux . they still use windows because it provides a easier and much better interface.. So speed shouldn't be the only criteria.. Consider the no of addons that come along with FF

[abhinavk]

The author has compared Chrome alpha with Firefox 3.0.7 final release.
He should have compared Chrome alpha for Linux with Firefox 3.1b3 OR Firefox 3.5b4pre. And then he would have written a article "Chrome May Already be Dead"
