There is a lot of debate lately over which browser is better, faster, and more powerful than the other. Unfortunately, the answer is not as clear cut as this one is the better choice. This probably explains all of the hoopla over which is the right choice. The reality is there is not a right or wrong choice for the average browser. The answer is a bit more complicated for developers.
Unlike a few years ago, most websites are now compatible with Chrome, so the biggest issue preventing its use has been removed from the picture. With playing field regarding access leveled out, the positives of both browsers are pretty equal as well. Both Chrome and Firefox performed well when browsing under normal conditions. The speed and stability are basically the same with only unnoticeable milliseconds separating the two. If you are a stickler for facts, Chrome was the winner in most tests, but the average user would never notice the difference. As far as security and stability are concerned, each has slight edge over the other. Chrome performs better at preventing one tab from shutting down the whole browser. However, Firefox is quickly catching up and could have this resolved within the next few releases, so once again this is a non-issue. Firefox is considered stronger on security by most. Although Chrome does allow you to browse in stealth mode, the same strong security is often trumped by Google's use of tracking techniques which seem to wash out the privacy that stealth provides. Therefore, the browsers are again neck in neck.
The race gets a bit tighter for developers. Firefox is the darling of developers because of the multitude of plugins available. In addition, the ability exists to create plugins that fit a specific requirement with very few issues. It is for this reason that Firefox beats out Chrome for developers. However, the field is quickly narrowing in this venue, as well. At this moment, Chrome is busy creating plugins that mimic those of Firefox. The average user will have no problem finding a Chrome counterpart to the most popular Firefox plugins. However, developers that rely on more specialized requirements may need to wait a while before considering a switch to Chrome.
