Firefox vs Chrome in 2023? Which one is better?

4 points

Better? That’s tough. I think it comes down to preference and options. I’ve been using Firefox for ages. It’s flexible and fast. It’s the only meaningful competition to the Chrome universe. I’m used to the aesthetic and love it. YMMV.

You forgot to add that #Firefox don’t spy on is, don’t sell our personal data too. And it is secure too.

@ctrl depends on what you need. If you need extremely high performance or the newest cutting-edge features, you’re better with chrome. If you favor privacy and customizability (including AdBlocking) you should use Firefox.

I used chrome for quite a while, since Firefox didn’t support WebXR, but now I switched back to Firefox. I’ve had a few more performance problems on Firefox, including crashes, but only rarely.

Firefox all the way. Three versions in daily use here.

I’ve tried a few different browsers over the years but I always seem to end up coming back to Firefox because of its customisability. I’m not especially bothered about speed, I’m very happy to bog my browser down with more addons than I care to admit to, and leave a ridiculous number of tabs open. No other browser even comes close to allowing me to do such silly things.

In terms of privacy, then Firefox wins. Performance probably goes with Chrome, but not as much as it used to be to be a real concern for most users. Firefox has improved itself on performance over the years. Also, Firefox isn’t planning on crippling its extensions to the extent that it affects the quality of ad-blockers, etc.
