Firefox’s power is its extensibility. Even today nobody beats Firefox when it comes to add-ons.
But it has became cluttered with lots of tool bars. Well there are some add-ons and themes that can be used to hide toolbars and give it a sleek look like chrome, but add-ons are memory hungry and will make your browser more snailious ( it is a word, right? anyways what I mean here is slow like a snail ).
The biggest irritation with Firefox is the start-up time. It feels like ages and you might want to pull your hairs in that time or may want to get a manicure or pedicure .
I have tried Firefox 4 beta-4, and its not better then Firefox 3.6.9, Instead you will not be able to use most of the add-ons, because Firefox 4 is in beta state and add-on updates are the soul responsibility of their individual creators. So without add-ons it is lame.
On the other hand Google Chrome is going from good to better.
The Google Chrome and Chromium (A open source project which is behind Google Chrome ) were started as a minimalistic looking browser with fast browsing experience, but It lacked the extensibility. So I did admire it but never used it as my primary browser.
But two years after the the Chrome’s appearance, Today I see it as the fastest browser with sleek look and a huge Library of Extensions. Chrome is attracting more and more programmers now and extension count is growing very fast.
Plus Chrome works fine with lots of extensions installed and doesn’t go unresponsive.
I will be writing a post about Google Chrome extension equivalent with Firefox Add-ons. So check back soon.
You can download Google Chrome from here.
