What is best: Firefox or Chrome

I'm trying to decide what browser should I use as my main browser. I know most of the people here will tell Firefox, but I would like to hear a more detailed explanation of the reason. Thank you!

Speed, performance and feature wise, Firefox and Chrome are pretty equal (a few Ms off here and there for speed, some rarely used Web standards and the different implementations of features are minor subtle points).

Where the differences are is the orgs behind the products.

Google: For-profit organization which has been shown in the past, not to respect the confidentiality of users, that feeds a large part of what you do in Chrome to their servers to set the types of ads you see in chrome, is not your interest or interests of the internet in the heart, but only for their benefit.

Mozilla: Non-profit that not only respects the privacy of the users (note: the highest in protection of personal information concerning organizations in 2012), but also trying to do what's best for users and the web. No shares or shareholders, Mozilla is not of the body, but the user. Your data is always safe with us and we always strive to make Firefox and the web, the best they can be for you, not for advertisers.

  • Difference between Firefox and chrome NPAPI

    Hello
    I write a few plug-ins; I myself Gesko SDK from the mozilla site; After build it correctly loaded and works on Firefox;
    I tried to load and run with chrome; I found that chrome can not load the plugin; After debugging, I found that plroblem based on the structures of table - size of the structures is not the same in firefox and chrome.
    Supplementary search lead me to a difference - it's in alignment; Firefox and Gesko using 32-bit alignment/packing and packaging/chrome use 8 bit alignment;
    So, my questions are:
    -What is a bug in chrome or firefox?
    -When it be fixed?
    -I did not work with chrome previously; Since when is - this make a difference?

    This forum is oriented to support end-user for Firefox, not to the developers, so you can't get an answer from someone who knows exactly what you're talking about. For not to sound rude, but if your plugin works in Firefox, but not in Chrome wouldn t it wise to ask a support forum for Google on your Firefox plugin does not work in Chrome?

    With respect to 8-bit vs operating systems 32-bit, AFAIK 8 bits and programs date back like 20 years, so I doubt if Google uses 8-bit in its ' plugins. But that would be better in someone familiar with plugins and development of Chrome.

  • Will what version of Firefox support full HTML5?

    Why Firefox does not support full HTML5? Will what version of Firefox support full HTML5? I know that none of the browsers support full HTML5. But Google Chrome supports more Firefox.
    When will Firefox support full HTML5?

    Hello, the specification html5 itself is not entirely standardized still & always subject to changes - if your question does not really answer. HTML5 is more a kind of Buzzword for the new web technology atm...

  • Why I came back to Firefox (from Chrome)

    I tried diligently to use Chrome for several months, because the consensus among reviewers seemed to be that Chrome is safer.

    But there are several things about Chrome that really rubs me the wrong way.

    - Groups of tabs. In Chrome, you will need to start a new instance of the browser to obtain similar functionality.

    - Bookmarks Keyboard navigation. In Chrome, you simply cannot do. In Firefox, I can get to any bookmark quickly and completely by the keyboard.

    - Support of Logmein. Behavior of LogMeIn is glitchy as Chrome. Some things do not work.

    - Print control. CTRL-P "enhanced" poster print of Chrome dialog box. But some features are difficult to control from there, so I had to train myself to use Ctrl-Shift-P for use the system print dialog boxes when I wanted to get some things (for example to print a selection of material for my PDF printer).

    - Restoration of previous Session. I have found no equivalent of this feature of Firefox history Chrome.

    - Connection of LastPass. With Chrome, LastPass d self-closing session after a certain period of inactivity - despite the LastPass settings to the contrary. With Firefox, it remains connected throughout the day.

    And on top of that, I discovered that Firefox has at least some security features that Chrome did not (wish I could remember what they were!).

    Another consideration: since I am most of the time still on Windows XP, Internet Explorer 9, which is supposed to be a very good browser, was not yet on the table for me.

  • I have a lot of trouble loading email yahoo with firefox and chrome browsers

    When I try to raise Yahoo Email on my Firefox or Chrome browser in the last month or so I find it difficult to use because some of the tabs do not appear or because I can't click on the box or a message in the message list.

    You should not disable the plugins manually each time.  Now that we know that a plugin can cause the problem, we will have to determine which.

    First of all, we will have to go into the settings.  You can click on the image of horizontal parallel lines 3 (sorry for the bad explanation) which is located to the right of the Chrome address bar and select "settings".  Another way is to use again the SHIFT + CTRL + DELETE key combination to bring up the window 'clear browsing data '.  Just click Cancel and we are now in the settings.  On the left side of the screen, you will see "Extensions".  Select this option.

    Would you mind listing the extensions you have installed?

    In any case, the only way to understand what extension/plugin is causing the problem is to try to disable them one at a time.  Just start with the first.  Click on the box that says 'Enable' and then close and restart Chrome.  After restarting Chrome try using Yahoo Mail until find you exactly which extension is causing the problem.

    You'll probably end up deleting the extension/plugin, but before do you I would like to know which extension is causing the problem.

    I'm waiting for your answer and I wish you a beautiful day of gene.

  • Unable to connect to vSphere Web Client using Firefox or Chrome on the server 2012R2

    I recently installed the web client of vsphere 5.1.0 on my 2K12R2 box.  I get questions that are well known and documented when I try to connect using IE11 (but note that I can always connect to the server vCenter). So I decided to try firefox and chrome.

    With Firefox, I just get a cannot connect error message - Firefox can't establish a connection with the serere to localhost:9443.  When I try Chrome I get "this webpage is not available" with IE it came with the problem with the security certificate, but if I continue I can enter.  Other browsers are set to use the system proxy settings, so I don't ' know what is happening.

  • Hyperion competible with FIrefox and Chrome URL?

    We use Firefox or Chrome to open the URLs Hyperion?

    Thanks in advance.

    Chrome is not supported at this time in any version of Hyperion (via 11.1.2.2).

    Firefox 3.5 and above all is documented to be supported. Some time that I actually tried to use Firefox with the following - in previous versions there are some quirks with certain products and/or pages.

    for example in js

    Function myFunction()

    {

    Return window.location.href.toString;

  • Error in FireFox and Chrome when evoking the PHP contact form

    update your flash player IE and it will probably fail too.

    you have an error in security sandbox because those who resemble different areas to Flash.  a solution would be to use a cross-domain permissions file.   another would be to use a local php (to your swf) file to send and load data cross-domain and then sent to your swf file.

  • How can I fix the color washed out for border to start in Firefox (vs Chrome)?

    I created a web page with a very basic table and border-style: first. Attached picture shows three colors ('red', ' #2CC11F ' and ' #22A8D6 ') of this table, and how they appear on the Chrome vs. Firefox (right) (left).

    The image is a screenshot taken with Firefox and Chrome on the same monitor.

    I tried all combinations of the elements listed in the link here: (http://cameratico.com/guides/firefox-color-management/) and restarted Firefox, every time, but I can't quite simply that it displays only not this border of immediately without looking terrible and washed out.

    A solid border seems okay, if it has to do with the borders of departure specifically (and possibly on the tables specifically).

    So the problem is that Firefox is to choose shades that are too light compared to Chrome?

    I think that you will need to take direct control of the colors of different sides using borders United. For example:
