I can understand if Firefox is not for you, it’s just when you do a @kingofblox360 and think that Firefox caused his PC to BSOD, or think you can DL a 100MB in 7 mins on a 200KBs connection

#22

No I like Chrome, I don’t like firefox. I know they’re both good browsers, but chrome works better for me. But I do see what you’re saying about king.

#23

Got it wrong way round xD
Was gunna put I understand if Chrome is for you, but halfway through typing my brain changed it’s mind and I was gunna out I understand if Firefox is not for you, just forgot to change it lol

Edit: Also, why don’t you like Firefox? Everytime I ask someone, they just say Chrome is better and never give a reason.

#24

I used it for about a week, to see what the hype was all about. For some reason some of the pages actually took longer to load in against chrome, and I had been using chrome for a few years prior so I wasn’t familiar to the Firefox format. I can see that it is a good browser, and I understand why everyone loves it so much; I just prefer chrome.

#25

You see, this is the issue I had, I had been a Chrome user since around 2009, and I really couldn’t get used to Firefox. However, after using it for about 2 weeks I decided to realize why everyone loved Firefox, It is way less resource heavy than Chrome.
Also, I have no issues with loading times on Chrome, I don’t know why everyone says it is faster.
Just my personal opinion

#26

Chrome is too fast… But takes your ram easily

Just my opinion…

Also i evn use Firefox before…

I stopped using it… For no reasons.

#27
Wait! Forget Opera, Chrome, IE, Firefox, Spartan, Safari, Netscape! There's Vivaldi! https://vivaldi.com/
@Haxor I learned about Vivaldi weeks or months ago via Ghacks.
Also i evn use Firefox before..

I stopped using it… For no reasons.


@kingofblox360 No reason?!
#28

yes. idk why cause chrome give me powers.

#29

What powers?
Did you mean that you stopped using Firefox because Blink (Chrome’s, SRWare Iron’s, Comodo Dragon’s, and CoolNovo’s engine) is faster than Gecko (Firefox’s, Waterfox’s, Pale Moon’s, and Comodo IceDragon’s engine)?

#30

Yes

Look; instead of arguing about browsers with weightless arguments why don’t you just line up the facts? :slight_smile:

Firefox

  • open-source
  • very customizable
  • most extensions
  • cross-platform
  • allows you to customize what anonymous information you send, identifiable information not sent by default
  • uses the Gecko rendering engine, based of … air

Chrome

  • closed-source
  • network action prediction - improves speed slightly
  • reasonable amount of extensions, a lot of apps
  • cross-platform
  • no way of disabling anonymous information, however identifiable information can be turned off
  • uses the Blink rendering engine based of webkit

Opera

  • closed-source
  • network action prediction - improved speed slightly
  • few extensions compared to the other two
  • cross-platform
  • no way of disabling anonymous information, identifiable information can be turned off
  • uses the Blink rendering engine based of webkit

(Opera is basically Chrome with another name and fewer extensions)

Internet Explorer

  • closed-source
  • platform specific
  • bare amount of extensions, no extension “center”
  • no way of disabling anonymous information, identifiable information is a setting in setup
  • uses MSHTML, one of the most outdated rendering engine to this date

The user interface is subjective, so people will have different opinions. I didn’t take RAM into consideration because it has a lot to do with 32/64-bit, your extensions etc. And, these are all around the same amount of RAM. Internet Explorer lies to you in the task manager, because it has a background process doing all the work so it seems like it is very low on RAM.

So, Chrome and Opera are the fastest?
That’s the only thing (and UI, go away IE) I care about.

#33

I think I heard that Opera is designed for low power usage.

#34

@Haxor Not in any way. They predict the network action which might improve your page loading by a few milliseconds. It all comes down to your network.

@Gamingthrou Well, that is a lie. I can assure you that Opera does not use less power than Chrome, Firefox or IE.

#35

So which browser uses RAM less?? Firefox?

#36

There you go, now please read what my post first next time.

#37

I should not mention you at my first post about Firefox. :unamused:

BTW mine is 32bit 1.5GB RAM Intel Core 2 Duo

#38

By the way @everyone;

MSE support has been added to Firefox :slight_smile: Also known as closed-source-crapware-which-needs-to-be-included-to-use-Netflix-and-YouTube-properly :slight_smile: I sincerely hope Mozilla removes this support, but they just have to try and be like Google ey? sigh

#39

R.I.P

Open source Firefox 2005/2006-2015

#40

Oh, did they close the source of Firefox? I haven’t heard anything of that… :wink:
