Google Chrome Vs. Firefox

So I have always had and used Firefox but I decided to try out Google Chrome and I really like the look, feel, and speed.  But my only question is about the security in Chrome.  The protection in Firefox was very good, but what is Chrome like against Firefox in the security department?

I'm not sure about the security, but i've been using chrome for a year now and haven't had any problems. Fewer problems than I had with Firefox even. (BTW my Firefox continually has problems downloading its updates, and i dont know how to fix it. I've redownloaded the program 5 times, but every time it eventually "breaks".)

If Chrome had Adblock Plus and NoScript, I'd use it.

I don't actually know what Adblock plus is, but if it has anything to do with popups, i've never had a popup while using google chrome.

Of the two, I still prefer Firefox. The only problem I have with it, is lock-ups that happen some time when posting on Giantbomb.com

chrome goes awefully slow on this web-page for some reason.

You cannot be serious! Firefox all the way!

I like Firefox, but I've never tried Chrome. Also, does anyone know when the big Firefox update (the one with Private Browsing) is coming? I had to delete the beta because my virus scanner thing said it was infected.

Any browser that doesn't have adblock plus is not worth using.

Well, I know Beta 3 came out in the middle of March, so it can't be too far from now. Also, did you get your Beta from the Firefox website? If so, your virus scanner's probably just acting wonky. This is where I got mine."

I would use Chrome, but I heard that it tracks your sites you visit... and can be slow sometimes. I would try it, but I am sticking to Firefox because I got all my uber add-
ons. I need my NoScript, DownloadHelper (Which is amazing for ripping) AdBlock Plus, and more. Hard to beat Firefox.

"I find Firefox alot better, but I'll decide once Chrome is out of beta. (it's still in beta, right?)"

Firefox is much safer and slightly faster .

Firefox! I look the look of Chrome though.

I used chrome for a little while and it was great, it just wasn't compatible with anything I wanted to do(instant action, Quake live, battlefield heroes, some web cam things, etc.)! I finally switched back and now everything works perfect for me! I would defiantly go back to Chrome if it was compatible with everything!

I liked them both, but what I didn't like for chrome was the ad blocker thing that would be all RED ALERT THIS PAGE IS NOT SAFE, and the start up thing where it showed your most visited sites :/, I did like the tab system though and the automatically Google whatever you typed in the address box.

I'm loving chrome. I've had a few compatability issues over the time I've been using it (since the beta launch), so I have Firefox installed aswell. But there's no comparison speed wise between the two. Chrome kicks ass. 

I've been using chrome a few months now. The only thing I miss from firefox were the addons, but it has been so long that it doesn't even bother me anymore. I like the speed of chrome a lot more than firefox, and the fact it has never crashed on me where as firefox crashes all the time. I also love how the start up page molds itself around you. Adding search bars for sites I search the most on and the most visited sites all sitting there with me to click. It is sweet stuff.

I used to use Firefox for a longtime, but then I moved onto Chrome for a little while, as I found it ran better on my laptop. I'm using Safari now though, easily my favourite out of all of them. 

I was a long time firefoxer myself then I switched to Chrome and have had no issues, it's great.

The one thing that I'll have to say that makes me want to kill Mozilla is it's inability to dump it's temporary files, therefore Chrome for uploading and downloading, otherwise, Firefox.

This should be a fucking poll.

What's the difference between a poll and a fucking poll?"

Firefox has the security and so on.

Chrome is watching your ass.

I haven't tried Chrome yet.  I have had zero problems with Firefox, so I haven't felt the need to change.

Chrome is by far my most used browser recently - I love the speed, sandboxing and simplicity.

I preferFirefox simply because of the add-ons and many themes, Chrome owns in any other aspect, but could you survive without TwitterFox? Google Preview? Clipmarks? And many, many others..
