Chrome was launched a year ago, but now Google has claimed that Chrome has 30 million users. Still, Chrome needs to multiply its 30 million users by 10 or more to be able to catch up with the number of people that are using Firefox. Yet, Firefox needs to multiply its huge number of users by three or more to be on a par with IE.
Some people say Chrome is the fastest browser out there, and I think it’s true. I do like Firefox better, because there are more plugins readily available for Firefox than Chrome. For an example, I cannot trust a browser that doesn’t have a Noscript plugin. This is why I won’t be using Chrome unless Noscript plugin is available on Chrome. I can make an exception if Chrome has a plugin that is equally as good as Noscript. For your information, Noscript is a plugin that block malicious Javascript, Java, and Flash, and only allow these to run from trusted websites of your choice.
IE 8 is claimed to be the best IE version, but it’s slower than most browsers. IE 8 could crash on you if you have installed a buggy plugin. Firefox has the same problem with buggy plugin, but it seems Firefox browser tends to crash less — maybe because Firefox does have many more stable plugins than IE 8.
Chrome definitely is a good alternative browser for Firefox. Perhaps, give enough time, Chrome may surpass Firefox, but that remains to be seen. I have not seen Chrome crashing on me yet, but that is not enough for me to say Chrome will not crash. I have to say Chrome is a very stable browser when comparing against many well known browsers. Let see how many more browsers’ users will switch to Chrome as Chrome turns two. How many more years you think that Chrome needs for it to be able to catch up to Firefox and IE?
