    Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine.

    Google Chrome claims to be the fastest web browsers as of today but a lot of crashing problem has been monitored in Chrome, also there's a lack of add-on availability.

    Mozilla FireFox is far by most successful internet browser of this era with increased support for it's add-ons but has some speed issues.

    Its a browser, and i'm using it right now. The one main advantage over mozilla firefox is the 'magic search bar'. think the google homepage suggestions, only faster, you can search any site you've visited directly from the magic search bar, and you can type one or two letters, press enter, and load an entire url. i love it. also, chrome is updated more, and the current version is faster than the current version of firefox. i've been having some weird cache issues, but i'm not sure if its chrome or my computer in general so dont quote me on it.

    the argument for firefox is that it has much more support for plugins. i'm guessing with the creation of googles 'chromebook' they're going to have a lot more support for plugins / apps etc, but i have both, for different purposes.

    Firefox i still use, but only for its 'torbutton' plugin. anonymizing.
