  • Google chrome safer then ie and firefox!

well iam a firefox user and i feel sad. Guess its time to change --(me gusta)
Not only did Google's software officially surpass Firefox to assume the No. 2 position in market share last week, but today it was named the most secure of the top three browsers by security firm Accuvant.

“Both Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer implement state-of-the-art anti-exploitation technologies, but Mozilla Firefox lags behind without JIT hardening,” the company explains in a 100-page study.

Chrome’s plug-in security and sandboxing architectures, meanwhile, are “implemented in a more thorough and comprehensive manner,” making it “the browser that is most secured against attack,” Accuvant says.More info
I have been using Google Chrome for a really long time it is much much cooler and faster than any other browser I ever used you should really consider getting it
I use both Firefox and Chrome
one feature i love about Chrome is the Cloud Print, i can print wireless anywhere in the world. but you have to have a Gmail Account, and you can only print through web browser, unless they figured a better way
Something the article doesn't mention (source):



1 - Accuvant was paid by Google itself to do the study. It does not necessarily mean that Accuvant cheated. They exposed their methodology and it seemed legit

2- However it based the results on a technique called "sandboxing" that Chrome implements and IE does a bit, but Firefox is very new to it.

Mozilla replied by saying that "sandboxing" is only one of the techniques used by FF for security. They haven't implemented it correctly, but it's not the only existing security measure.

Bottom line, I don't believe FF is less "secure" than any other browser, just that it implements security differently.
for after some time using google chrome it has issues with some sites :
facebook and windows live, guess i'll go back to firefox
Firefox have upped their version numbers to like 9 but not much has changed, really.
They're still a mature product and a light one in some cases (it does have memory leaks), but it's not great and stable out of the box like Chrome.
I started using Chrome couple years ago, and never looked back ever since.

I had to upgrade to 4GB ram on my desktop (and now added an SSD to it) to be able to comfortably use Chrome :)
4 days later
since firefox 4, most of firefox's new features were copied from chrome.
before firefox 4, firefox's security was by far the best.

...
it took from Nov 2007 till Nov 2011 to move from firefox 3 to firefox 4
but it took from May 2011 till Nov 2011 to move from firefox 5 to firefox 9.

and it took from Sept 2008 till Nov 2011 to move from chrome 0.2 to chrome 17

why?......

Because whenever they test a feature or add a new one, they release a new build. (Notice the time stamp between releases)


On a side note, Here's Google Talk list of updates... (Latest update was released on the 5th of January 2007!)
