Chrome and Firefox side by side on Windows 7.

Handy if you have 2 facebook or youtube accounts.

The loading times in firefox really improved in the last few versions,
I still don't like how it doesn't clean up memory after you close tabs though.

And there's a few nice bells and whistles that in chrome by default, like the "duplicate" tab option, the translate to english option, that need to be installed via Addons in firefox.

The bookmark manager on chrome is fairly crap,
the tools menu is also crap, but on the other hand I dont like the Orange Firefox button taking up precious vertical space either.

The settings pages in chrome are basic at best also compared to firefox's lovely gui for the settings.


Oh and the "Media Info" Page rocks in firefox also, so much faster for getting the URL of pics that can't be obtained by right click on some pages.

Of course the whole tracking thing built into chrome isn't cool, and I can understand why people would chose firefox over it for that point alone.

I need to use one of those tools to disable it again.

Opera....


Tumble-weed... I know, but it is the cleanest browser, there's no shit like you'd find on IE or Firefox or Chrome. loading times etc are up there with the aforementioned too.

Agree, I love Opera too but it's inconsistent rendering and lack of development tools rule it out as a full time browser.

Chrome all the way for me, fastest browser by a long shot.

Have you tried the latest version of Firefox?

Seems to be the same speed as chrome these days.

But still doesn't clean up memory.
