Firefox uses less memory to run.
Firefox has more add-on’s than Chrome has extensions.
In my own experience, Chrome crashes more often than FireFox. (In my experience, neither crash very often)
In my own experience, they run about the same speed.
I wouldn’t say either is better, it just depends on what you need your browser to do.
I use toolbars in IE that I use and I really liked chrome when somebody suggested it to me but chrome does not accept toolbars…so threw that out the window, hehe.
If you seriously think this is taking up too much space, I dunno what to tell you… http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/9857/78667748.jpg
It’s pretty standard. Tabs bar, address bar, bookmarks bar. Pretty much the same as Chrome.
On pretty much every browser you can turn off all toolbar’s. You can usually even get rid of the bookmarks bar and the address bar. Firefox doesn’t have any toolbar’s to start with.
You just hit ctrl+tab or ctrl+# and you can scroll. I dunno if that’s any different on Chrome. I never use tab scrolling, I just know you can do it.
I’m pretty sure during the installation process of Firefox, you can choose whether or not you want some toolbar. Either way, you can disable it, so it doesn’t really matter.
Anyway, yeah, you don’t sound like you’re trying to start a flame war at all, so don’t worry about it.
Although it seems Chrome and Firefox are taking the league, in a world wide poll Internet Explorer would actually be the most used. The reason is Microsoft computers are some of the world’s top sellers, and with Windows pre-installed, is also Internet Explorer. This is what you learn when you live with my brother.
