Im after something small and simple. Small install/download and simple in that there is not loads of extra stuff that i wont use. Just the basics.

I'm sure either would be fine for your needs. There's no law that says you're only allowed one browser on your system at a time, so just install them both, try them out and see which one you like best.

Chrome or IE9 if you like it fast and simple.

Firefox if you like your addons.

As already stated above, install both and choose. Both Chrome and Firefox are simple, and both have a variety of extensions/addons.

Although Chrome loads faster, I prefer Firefox.

Yeah I used to be an Opera fanboy until Google took over my life :mad:

Chrome - No options, google owns me

No options with Opera? My god there's more than I care to even use!

I keep trying Chrome but the Awesome Bar in firefox is just so much awesome. Better than the other browsers by miles.

opethdisciple · 22 Dec 2011 at 00:54

My vote goes for Firefox.

I dont like the look and feel of chrome.

Chrome

15.0.874.106 (Developer Build 107270 Linux) Ubuntu 11.04

Firefox

Firefox version is nightly 11 and I've just noticed this

Opera

Linux
System

A load of one-word posts saying 'Chrome' and 'Firefox' doesn't exactly help the OP very much, does it?

I don't know how you can recommend Firefox over Chrome to a poster looking for something 'small and simple'. Firefox is more versatile, but Chrome clearly fits the bill if you're looking for small and straightforward.
