[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 750217, member: 67091"] It is wrong to compare GoogleChrome to Firefox. Both have their own pros and cons. GoogleChrome is like IE... both browsers exist just because most of the user-brains are "plug and play"... users don't like to read, don't want to learn, nothing... most of the users they don't know what is a browser... they just want to browse. And considering that GoogleChrome / IE are massively offered by mega-companies with marketing budgets of billions of dollars... that is the main reason most of users use GoogleChrome / IE, just because both are the most offered browsers. In analogy, the same happens with Windows / Linux. Firefox is not for most of the users. Firefox is a tool. That means, Firefox' users need to read, to learn etc how to take advantage from Firefox. Compared to GoogleChrome, Firefox is almost 100% customizable. This is the main advantage of Firefox over GoogleChrome. And this Firefox customization covers everything, including aesthetics, functions, privacy & security measures etc. In terms of privacy/security, default settings for GoogleChrome / Firefox is not the right parameter for comparisons. Firefox customized is unbeatable when compared to GoogleChrome (not by chance, Tor is a Firefox fork). And the fact Firefox offers SafeBrowsing (from GoogleChrome), it means nothing. Firefox offers customization. And users can choose whatever they want. By the way, in Firefox you can achieve 25/25 from last [USER=51905]@Evjl's Rain[/USER] test, without SafeBrowsing (from GoogleChrome), and without UBlock, hosts, add-ons, extensions etc. It is a mistake to make comparisons/conclusions based on hosts and add-ons/extensions. Firefox not just can be the best in privacy/security, but also is incredible fast, and one of the browsers with the lower system impact. [/QUOTE]
