Should I Switch To Google Chrome Or Stick With Firefox?

What's so cool about Google's new browser that I should switch from Firefox?

    Play with Chrome, stick with Firefox for now.

    One thing that surfaced today was that the End User License Agreement (EULA) has some highly unfavorable language in it regarding the ownership of content you publish to the Internet (like blogging, or posting this question even). Basically it says Google owns that information.

    Beyond that disturbing find, Chrome is in Beta, so I'd recommend letting the dust settle before making any big changes. There are still plenty of reports of web sites not working, the browser having gaping security holes, (etc.).

    I personally think there's much more to Google's agenda than a simple web browser here.

    I love Google Chrome, I've been using it since it released yesterday and it's awesome. It's not for everybody, though. The reason I like it so much?

    It's fast as hell, it loads like lightning, it barely uses any memory compared to other browsers. It has some nice built in features like the Opera speed-dial-esque empty tabs in which you can click on commonly visited sites. The tabs are laid out above the address bar which is nice.

    The thing I like most about it, though, is that it's very minimalistic. There's no status bar protruding on the bottom, it only pops up to tell you when it's loading things, and even then it doesn't get in the way. If you remove the links bar, the program barely takes up any space, giving your web pages a lot more real estate when viewing.

    If you're one that has 70,000 add-ons and toolbars running in Firefox, you won't like Chrome, but if you just want something quicker, easy to use and that doesn't get in the way, you should love it.

    Yes, Mozilla Firefox also stores username and Passwords just like Google Chrome does. And, the best part is you don't even have to have a Mozilla account. Though, you can create an Mozilla account and sync your password and favorites with other Mozilla devices.

    Personally, I say nothing makes it cooler. Right now it seems to lack a LOT of the functionality and customizability that Firefox offers. I'd definitely give it a few more months or years to develop.

    It's really fast. That's about it though. It's minimal, and it'll use up your cpu, but it's fast.
