I can't decide between Chrome or Firefox. Yep, I'm a big enough geek to worry about which one to use. Either way, which do you prefer and why?
I think Chrome is better, but I like Opera the most baddood;
Chrome is faster, runs better, and has much better features, while being a more minimal browser than Firefox.
But I like Opera the best baddood;
If you don't care about add-ons, Chrome.
Basically what David said. If you want to use cool addons, use Firefox. If you just want speed and a reliable browser, Chrome.
Id say Chrome, i used firefox for a long time, and i switched to chrome and its better.
The only time I ever used Chrome was when it was first released. I loved it, but I always had the problem of tabs crashing. It always pissed me off. I'm sure the bug has been corrected now. Chrome is a fine browser, I've just become accustomed to Firefox.
Just choose one.
I use Firefox, just because I always have. It is just a web browser, so I wouldn't worry about it to much.
well chrome i just like because its simple and lightweight
I think Chrome is mostly hype and shit. I like Firefox.

Nah. All I've really heard about Google Chrome is "omg big viewing space blue sleek omg big". Firefox is more practical and the extensive add ons list they have is a great plus.
well the add ons are a plus i would say, and i don't have the blue sleek shit i have a different theme, and i like the tabbs are so easy and how it has incogneto mode, and that its just quick and bookmarks are easy, other than that i don't need anything more special.
Its like those people who use songbird, i used to use it but its so....heavy and has so much things on it so i rather muine, which is a super simple music player.

Are you retarded? Have you actually used it? Firefox easily has the biggest cult following of any browser, and I'll acknowledge that it is a solid browser with all of it's add-ons, but Chrome is much faster and more stream-lined, especially on slower machines.

Yes, I've used it, and to be honest, it was nothing more than a lightweight makeover. Firefox has way more functionality.
Exactly but its functionality makes it slower, heavier, and sometimes unstable.
But its cool i loved firefox when i would use it and still use it for its stumbleupon feature.

Slower? Slightly, but honestly, who doesn't have a decent computer in this day and age; and if they don't, how much do you think they know about Web Browsers to use anything other than IE? Heavier? Yes. Firefox is like a Humvee and Chrome is like a crotch rocket. You see the difference? Unstable? It's been nothing but stable for me since day one.

The only reasons I stopped using Chrome is because the tabs at the very top was annoying, and because some of my sites wouldn't work correctly with it.

I am far too used to Firefox to change now.
its alright
I don't really like Chrome. I've used Firefox for years and I'm not going to change over. I don't have any problems with it.

Wow why is chrome so disliked?
Both are fine but I've grown accustomed to Firefox because of the theme I have, thats all.

I was going to change to Chrome soley because it was easier on the eyes, until I found out that you could customize Firefox with cool themes too >.<
I would never use Chrome just for itself...but once Chrome OS comes out, I'll dual boot (or...I guess tri-boot) that on my current filesystem...and then of course be using it all the time.
I love Chrome's speed and elegance, which is exactly why I used Opera. But I didn't jump on Chrome because it, at first, lacked a linux version, and I stopped caring once that got developed. So...yeah. It's fun I guess. The computers at school finally have them, so we have an alternative to ie (ugh).
I had been using Firefox since shortly after it's release, and last year I switched to Chrome and I liked it more.
Chrome is awesome and I hope google hurries up with an official OS X release
firefox always has been and always will be a heap of ass
