Introduction: | Talking about the most popular browsers of today, the most prominent of those are Firefox developed by Mozilla and Google Chrome developed by Google. |
Development: | Google chrome consists of a much smaller file size, the entire browser only takes up 316 MB, but it is extremely resource intensive, as it requires at least 1 GB of RAM to run. Mozilla Firefox supports HTML5 and CSS3, with added support with Adobe Flash Player which allows resource-intensive tasks to be conducted more efficiently, an example can be off watching a video on YouTube. Mozilla Firefox has a much larger file size of 631 MB but is much less resource intensive as it takes up only 412,000 KB. Both can use addons. |
Practice: | Guided Comparison of watching a YouTube video. |
Accommodations: | When it comes to performance, Google Chrome reigns over Firefox offering almost 20% better loading times, an integrated flash player and the ability for it to operate and take advantage of a 64-bit processor. Mozilla Firefox is slowly catching up to Google Chrome, even being coined faster than Chrome in a variety of regions, it loads up quicker than Chrome. Interface, it is usually a matter of personal choice, with Chrome having a much more user-friendly interface and having a minimalistic attractive look. Firefox offers a variety of options when it comes to customizability allowing users to change or hide elements in the interface. |
