whick is better mozilla or chrome?

By Mozilla I assume you mean Firefox. While Firefox currently wins in terms of functionality, versatility and customization features, the high number of programming flaws discovered over the past year lead to serious questions about its security visa vis even Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Google's Chrome has a nice, minimalist interface, allowing you to view more content with less space wasted on toolbars, menus and buttons. The performance is also good, and Google does have a third-party API for extensions and customization. Unfortunately, as the newest browser on the market, it's security track record has yet to be established, and the available extensions lag far behind Firefox. AFAIK, there are no plug-ins available for Chrome from any of the anti-virus/anti-spyware software publishers. There are also privacy concerns as Google is notorious for collecting "anonymous usage information" on all of its products.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 has emerged as a decent competitor in the market, having significantly improved both its performance and security. Weighing in its favor is the fact that 99.9% of all websites are developed expressly for MSIE users or to be 100% compatible with MSIE. The major detraction at this time is the lack of available free extensions, particularly in the security/performance arena (i.e., ad blocking, selective java and flash blocking, download accelerators and managers, etc...). However, most security software packages do include their own plug-in for MSIE at no additional charge.

The Windows version of Apple's Safari web browser is excellent, but don't expect much in the way of plug-ins for the Windows platform, as most Apple developers consider Microsoft to be the anti-Christ and won't touch Windows with a 10-foot pole.

Opera bills itself as the "World's Fastest Browser." It is indeed fast, but I don't notice any real difference from the current versions of Firefox, MSIE or Chrome. If updates and announced vulnerabilities are a good indication, Opera is more secure than Firefox or MSIE. The interface is compact and usable, and its mouse gestures and speed dial features are very convenient. Opera has a large collection of add-ons, called Widgets, though not anything really security focused. Opera offers enhancements for synchornizing bookmarks and other data between computers, sharing files with other users on a private P2P network, and accelerating downloads by compressing data through Opera's own servers if you are on a slow network. Opera is also available for several smartphone models.

My top choices at present are:

1. Opera, because of its tight interface, security and value-added features;

2. Firefox, because of the plethora of add-ons;

3. Internet Explorer, because everything else is only compatible

I suggest you give the above three options a try and decide for yourself which works best for you.

Also worth noting: Often the "lag" you experience browsing is due to the browser's built-in security features, such as anti-phishing protection, site reputation or ratings, or malware pre-scan. This can be exacerbated by slow or misconfigured DNS servers and ISP proxies. Switching your DNS server settings to Google Public DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/) or OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/) and disabling these security features (as both Google and OpenDNS pre-scan their DNS caches for security threats) might reduce or eliminate your browser lag for any browser.

Choosing one or the other is more personal preference where they are both great products, but Google Chrome is more beta/concept and has less development time. As for me, I've used Firefox(previously had 2 other names) since about 2003. But still make use of Chrome once in a while. Chrome did have better javascript speeds last I checked, however speed difference generally are unnoticeable. Chrome is also multi threaded, but for most people that wont make a difference. So use the one that works best for you, which sounds like Firefox. It isn't inferior in anyway, and you can get many add ons and themes.

Mozilla makes a lot of Web Browsers including Chrome, SeaMonkey (open source of Netscape Communicator), Firefox and others. Chrome is a minimal Web Browser that you customize to fit or suit your needs by installing extensions and add-ons. It runs faster because these are not automatically included as part of the browser. In general Web Sites are what cause a browser to either run faster or slower while it is loading the web page. It is really a matter of choice and you can have more than one Web Browser on a computer, working independent of each other. You can also open the same browser up in a second screen if that is what you want to do. There are other browsers that are like Chrome also. OK, Chrome lags the least and, SeaMonkey lags the most, everything else seems to be between those two.

It really comes down to a matter or preference. I used to be a huge firefox fan because of the add ons but eventually it just gets bogged down and slow. Now that chrome has had time to be developed it really is a great lightweight browser. Most importantly it works better with anything google which is have the internet these days.

I use Google Chrome, however overall I would say firefox is better cause of add-ons and less annoying, but the reason I use chrome is because its really fast. Chrome add-ons can be a pain but are ok.

i think chrome is better. it hasn't lagged at all yet and i've had it for about 5 months. i tried firefox from july-early september and it completely crashed during that time and it presumably took my computer down with it. afterwards i tried chrome for a comparison in november(without a computer for 2mos) and crome had been awesome! no lags, runs smooth, pretty user friendly...i love it!

both are very good but i use firefox the most more add-ons but chrome is good to cant go wrong with either one hope this helps
