One of the most basic and essential tools when talking about internet technology is browsers. Browsing is a term used to describe the process of viewing or searching documetn during information retrieval. In the past, people mostly relied on browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer. However with the advancement in technology in recent years, it is no wonder that the variety of browsers available to us has increased and expanded through the years. Currently, the fight between the most reliable browsers seem to be between Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. I came across an article which clearly illustrated the main differences between both browsers. The article also highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of both browsers.

Basically, the article states that the needs of the user is what mostly determines which browser trumps the other. While Mozilla Firefox is the "prettier" browser, with its add-ons and appealing layouts, Google Chrome, while not as visually appealing as Firefox, gets the job done just the same.
Personally, I am a fan of Google Chrome. I prefer using Google Chrome to Mozilla Firefox because I feel that it operates as a faster speed, and is very user friendly. However, my needs for the internet are very basic. I use it to surf the web, send out emails, manage my social networking accounts, and carry out research for school. I do not have a very strong need for the very many add-ons that Mozilla Firefox has to offer. Maybe as I get older, and as time goes by, my needs will change and I might lean more towards Firefox.
But who knows? At the rate technology is developing, and given the success of Google thus far, it would come as no surprise is Google matches us with, or if not possibly surpasses Firefox in time to come.
i like firefox better i think youtube works better with it!
