Speed:

Fast

Good(especially when there are add-ons)

Comments:

FF have to ability to customized better than other browser because of the add-on capability.

However, too much add-ons might slow down the speed of FF.

FF will have the "not responding" message if you have a slow internet speed.

Rating:

4/5

Google Chrome(chrome):
Security:
Good(together with WOT)
Time to patch vulnerability:
Average
Speed:
Very fast
Ease of use:
Search and navigate to web pages from the same box.
Auto search of url. (Example, when u type f in the url bar, all the f related websites like facebook will appear.)
Get to your favorite websites with just a click, from the thumbnails of your most visited sites in the New Tab page

Comments:
Each tab operate on its own. So if 1 tab is not responding, we just have to close the 1 tab instead the whole browser.
When you open a lot of tab, it eats up a lot of ram usage.
Most of the add-ons doesn't really work well in chrome.

Rating:
4.5/5
