I don't mind.

 

It's aesthetically like Chrome, but better... (And I was really close to switching to Chrome a week ago.)

Aesthetically, Firefox with FT Deep Dark. However Firefox lags a lot for me when changing tabs sometimes and lags other times. That's why i'm stuck with chrome.

It's like Chrome, but with a more effective adblock, more extensions and the lack of endless instances of chrome.exe cluttering task manager.

You have a nice system, maybe you have a corrupted profile or extension causing an issue? :S

I like Chrome more on desktop.

However, on Android...Google has this genius bug when you use Chrome which taps power the 'Sandboxed process' it's called. Taps more power BESIDES the normal Chrome app(which you use)

And Google still hasn't fixed it, it has been months now.

EDIT: testing Chrome now, maybe the bug is gone....

EDIT: nope nope.... 3% battery used by Chrome itself. The bug process is 4%... -_- bravo google,

Don't forget about:config and the wonderful GUI customization.

Thats like saying Windows 7 has more vulnerability than XP at the moment (and it does)

How secure IE was 3 years ago is pretty irrelevant.

I kind of like the new firefox theme. The customizability is great, very easy to use feature, so you're not stuck with the fixed UI on most other browsers.

Chrome is by far the most secure browser I have ever used. I have tested it against several different methods that still work in other browsers today. Now I am not saying it is the most secure browser in the world, but it's definitely more secure in general compared to other browsers.

 

And privacy, do not forget privacy.

Chrome collects only search keywords and them types of things in order to help you the consumer have a better experience. By default Chrome doesn't do this, you have to enable it in the settings.

Care to share what you have tested?

 

By the way, chrome SSL certificate validation is a joke.

Signatures are stupid.

The testing I conducted was a year or two ago and I never kept logs. I wouldn't share them if I did anyways as this isn't a hack forum. I was only testing browsers to ensure the security of myself, particularly Firefox and Chrome. As I was making the switch from Firefox to Chrome. Tho you would be surprised as to what kind of simple and stupid stuff other browsers tend to be vulnerable to. For example most browsers still allow JavaScript to execute as many times as it wants. You can bomb Firefox (you use to be able to, not sure anymore) with alert() and effectively crash the entire browser (or PC).
