Differences Between Chrome and Mozilla

Google Chrome
   
   Google Chrome is a freeware web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine (later versions will use Blink, a fork of WebKit, except on iOS). It was released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008. As of February 2013, according to StatCounter, Google Chrome has a 37% worldwide usage share of web browsers making it the most widely used web browser in the world. Net Applications, however, indicates that Chrome is only third when it comes to the size of its user base, behind Internet Explorer and Firefox.
   In September 2008, Google released the majority of Chrome's source code as an open source project called Chromium, on which Chrome releases are still based


Mozilla Firefox
   
   Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Windows, OS X and Linux, with a mobile version for Android, by Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards.
   As of October 2012, Firefox has approximately 20% to 24% of worldwideusage share of web browsers, making it the third most used web browser, according to different sources. According to Mozilla, Firefox counts over 450 million users around the world. The browser has had particular success in Indonesia, Germany and Poland, where it is the most popular browser with 65%, 47% and 47% of the market share, respectively.



Design & Ease of Use
Chrome
   Offers the leanest and most bare-bones address bar configuration, stripping everything down into a simple tab layout and address bar configuration that also doubles as a search bar. Like most browsers, it the window can get incredibly cramped with a slew of tabs open, but it still does a fantastic job of delivering content whether you have the browser fully expanded or slightly minimized for the sake of space. The two-bar layout houses all of the standard navigational features (i.e. back, forward, refresh, home) by default, but you can easily slim down the window by customizing the toolbar and deleting any buttons you deem invaluable. Chrome’s single-click bookmarking method, done by simply clicking the star located on the right side of the address bar, also makes bookmarking your favorite webpages a breeze and hassle-free experience

Mozilla
   Features a similar, yet useful layout when compared to its competitors, placing the tab bar above the address bar. Despite reaching version 19 of the software (it skipped versions 11 through 16 and 18 apparently), it still slightly feels like the bulky predecessors of the software, refusing to unite the address and search bars in a single unified field like all of its peers. The browser offers the same kind of single-click bookmarking that Chrome does — all you have to do is click the star located in the address field — but there isn’t much else that separates it from the rest of the pack. Instead of sporting a gear or similar icon button for its settings, Firefox opts for an orange “Firefox” button in the upper-left corner in Windows version of the browser, taking up a tiny bit of space that could otherwise be used by the tab bar.

Developer
Chrome : Google Inc
Mozilla : Mozilla Foundation and the open source com

Speed & Compatibility
   Most of the browsers are compatible with Web standards and handle speed with relative ease. A casual user probably won’t notice a difference in the Web page rendering speed of Chrome 25,and Firefox 19. two browsers are much faster and leaner than browsers even a few years ago and becoming even more so with every new software build. Below are our benchmark results for the two browsers, bold text indicates the winner for each category

   Google Chrome blew everything out of the water when it came to HTML5 compliance, but fell short when it came to the HTML5 vector and bitmap tests.

    I think Google Chrome does have many advantages compared to Mozilla Firefox. Among simpler design, more practical in the search, as well as a more robust security system. But unfortunately Google Chrome is now available in Beta version. Google Chrome also seems less dynamic because its not much features. So I chose to use Mozilla Firefox which has a lot of additional features and can be customized to user needs.

  4. If I were to choose, I would choose google chrome.
    Google chrome is faster than firefox (according to what I feel). Google chrome uses memory for each tab, so that when an error occurs it will not cause other tabs become error, not like firefox. But firefox have many plugin than chorme(I dont need it :D)
