Chrome vs Firefox

Comparing the performance of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox has purpose which one is good to use, faster, and user friendly.

Reflect from windows Task Manager, Firefox eats a lot of memory. For Chrome, each tab we open has its own memory. This is the advantage using Chrome that it is ability to handle tabs in independent processes which means a browser or plugin bug, or an incorrectly coded web page can’t take down the whole browser, but just that tab or plugin alone. 

Picture above is from my notebook (Intel 2GHz 2MB L2 Cache, 1 GB DDR2) and open the same website on Chrome and Firefox.

When open youtube, blogspot, msn, yahoo, they need almost same time to open. From my experience when open youtube, Chrome faster in buffering rather than Firefox. Sometimes Firefox said "We're sorry, this video no longer available", but in Chrome the same address can play the video. For the others example, they are almost the same when using Chrome or Firefox. Then, I tried another address which is for watch movies on both web browser. On Firefox the url works, but on Chrome it wasn't work only show a text said "[global loading]". I think because Chrome doesn't have plug-in (for this case is swf player) now, not like Firefox which is integrate with swf player. Maybe, Google will come new update with more integration inside the browser.

In addition, the interface between Chrome and Firefox is different. Chrome more snappy, it doesn't have main menu,  status bar is overlaid at the bottom when needed, just like the find bar; no search bar which is integrated with the location bar, it has a new tab button, it has cool animations when accessing the bookmarks toolbar or moving tabs which definitely helps feel the browser more responsive.
