Chrome is better than Firefox

My English teacher from 7th grade taught me what devil's advocate was. :) Not exactly a technical genius, so I won't understand all of this so try to put it in to...simpler text if possible :P I'd like to address that con said the computer's hard ware comes into play when talking about how fast the browser runs. Firefox will run fast on ANY hard ware old, crappy, or whatever. Also: 1) Firefox is the steady, fast internet browser we've used for a long time and we trust it. You don't need all these nick knacks from the Chrome Webstore or whatever. Firefox is fine without all these extensions you might need fro Chrome. 2) Okay. You have a point. This is the generation of technologically spoiled kids, and being able to do a Google search from the page you're looking at is such a convenience because you don't have to press the home button or go back to Google. Big deal. Get over it. It doesn't make Chrome the slightest bit better. If Firefox wished to do that they, could. You might also realise that Chrome was based off of Firefox, and has many of the same features because they saw it on Firefox and decided to put it into theirs. So they can't really take full credit..... 3) Sure, Chrome has all these cool features and Chrome looks cool and whatever. But to tell the truth, do you really need any of that? It's just there to enhance the experience and make you feel like you have better technology than others. Chrome is the trend of the moment, just how everyone is so excited about Apple as of now. They just want something new. 1) ja vascript: Sometimes you need to test your site with ja vascript disabled. The only way to disable it in Chrome is going to preferences and disable it there. This is a real drag. In Firefox you can use the Web Developer extension by Chris Pederick to add a button to the browser toolbar to quickly disable and re-enable ja vascript any time you want. For Chrome there is also the Web Developer extension by the same developer but it does not provide a means to disable ja vascript. The problem is due to a limitation of the Chrome API exposed to extensions. It does not provide a way to disable ja vascript from extensions. There is a feature request for the Chromium project to implement the necessary support to disable ja vascript. The feature implementation was even assigned about 1 year ago to be implemented, but it never happened. Oddly users were disallowed to post further comments to that feature request. 2) History: Sometimes you need to go back in your browser history to a page that was presented after submitting a form using the POST method. However, you do not want to repeat the request that was sent to the server when that page was served. In some cases, which I could not determine the exact circumstances, Chrome asks if I want to post the form again and does not show me the page in the browser history if I do not accept to post the form again. Firefox does not have this problem. It always shows me the page in the browser history, even if it was the result of a posted form. 3) Memory/Extensions Chrome takes up A LOT of memory! IT creates a separate process for each tab, which takes up a surprisingly large amount of memory. Google Chrome browser is relatively unstable in old systems due to high memory usage and CPU usage. The extensions in Chrome browser can also cause the browser to use high memory and can cause system to slow down. 4) Password Saving/Security Google Chrome offers to save your passwords just like any other browser does. This is so that you do not have to type them in over and over again. These passwords are saved on the browser and can be accessed by looking in the Options menu. While this is a helpful feature, Google Chrome does not offer a feature for securing the saved passwords such as is found on Mozilla Firefox. Therefore, this is a security risk as the saved passwords can be read by anyone with access to your computer. 5) Closing a Browser With Multiple Tabs Most browsers display a message whenever you try to close a window which has more than one open tab. This prevents you from closing tabs that you do not intend to exit. Google Chrome does not have this feature and if you mistakenly close the browser window, all open tabs are closed without warning. 6) Limited Right-Click Menu Options Google Chrome is relatively newer than other browsers and so most of the people who now use it invariably used one of the earlier available browsers. Consequently, they are used to having a lot more options when they right-click in a browser. Chrome did away with some of these options and a lot of users are not comfortable with this. 7) Handling Multiple Tabs Users who open a lot of tabs in one window may find using Google Chrome to be cumbersome. As you open more tabs, the tab headers become progressive smaller until all you can see are the website icons (favicons) of the different websites. This makes navigation difficult as you may not be able to tell which page is which if you do not know its favicon. The tab bar is also cluttered and unsightly. A browser such as Mozilla Firefox does not shrink the tab header beyond a certain size so that you can still tell a tab by its title. It then creates forward and backward arrows which allow you to scroll horizontally to find the tab you want. There is also a button at the far right-hand side of the tab bar that can be clicked to reveal all the open tabs. 8) Preloading The kingpin element in Chrome is the browser's speed. Users find Chrome to be at the front of the pack. One feature that contributes to this is a preload mechanism that automatically anticipates what webpage you will go to next on a given site and then begins to load that page in the background so it opens faster once you click the link to the page. Preloading has its drawbacks, however. If Chrome predicts the wrong page, it might actually take longer to the load the page you visit next. his causes a big hassle that NOBODY wants to deal with. That's it for now :D
