If you use google chrome in incognito mode while surfing the net nothing ever gets logged. I use google chrome and my web browser of choice but surfing a little more discreet I use TOR with SSL. To each their own I guess but I perfer running two web browsers.



You can have a field day on the TOR network.

You do realize the Tor browser is Firefox, right?
Also, Tor is overkill for most people, unless you're a hacker or an international fugitive. If you're trying to hide your porn history you don't need to use Tor.

Tor is a joke, the NSA has been breaking through Tor security with little to no problems.
 
For those of you fans of FF, Australis is landing in the nightly builds. Highly improved U/I and the one thing I was watching on the Linux Action show when they were demoing FF Australis that they kept ranting about how much faster it was then Chrome with the new release with rendering web pages. The only reason I would trust that is Chris on the show is a Chrome fan boy but honestly it sounds like the FF Australis going to nightly builds and soon to ever one is going to be the biggest change we have seen in a long time. Check it out...

I am trying it out now, it's okay but looks more like a older browser then firefox v4+. I like the big orange Firefox button at the top left, it really adds character. But this one just looks more curvy and bland, and without the big button. It also seems to me, to keep from imitating chrome, they are keeping some valuable space saving features out, like the Omnibox that combines search and URLs.

It's already in the nightly builds and it's a clone of Chrome's UI, basically. Oh well, Mozilla is known for not being very original with their UIs, they copied Opera's UI in Firefox 4.
The screenshots in that article lie, by the way.
 
I like Firefox for the simple fact that it doesn't bother me with
(Keying) shit as chromium does. when you install it and sigh in,and the dictionaries are easier.

Actually, I see very little resemblance ti chrome. Stop being such a Chrome fanboy, I use Chrome and love it but I do not blindly hate other browsers.

I recently had to stop using Chrome or Chromium thanks to my college website did a massive update and nothing is working in Chrome.

To everyone else: Remember it is a nightly build and the dev's said there is still much work that needs to be done so many changes are still coming when you look at what they want to get completed.

In terms with how it looks yes I will admit it is Chromish, but I could care less how it looks I just care how it renders my web pages and lately Chrome has been giving me hell with this.

I see a lot of similarity here :rolleyes:

The only very similar thing I see is the menu button.

For starters you could have put the same web page in both browsers. Most of the differences are the default window when you open the browser.
 
It's the same shape of the tabs which throw people off in thinking it is chrome like, but everything else looks different. Thanks PCunicorn for the side by side comparison.

DMGrier, that is true, but I still see little resemblance between the tabs. The tabs are taller and curvier on Firefox Nightly. Uglier if you ask me, but still quite a bit different. One thing I quite like about FF is the smooth scrolling, which Chrome has as an experimental feature on chrome://flags but still only works in very few sites it seems like.
 
Honestly I could care less about what icons look like, being they updated the look is what appeals to me. I am still trying to figure out why Chrome is struggling to run websites the wife and I rely on so much, so until then I will just embrace the new FF and have stability.
