Google Chrome
Google chrome was launched by Google Inc in 2008. Google is currently one of the biggest companies in the world and selling laptops, PCs, Servers and even laptop backpacks. It had to compete with many big players like Firefox and Internet Explorer and though Chrome was 4 years younger than Firefox it still was able to make a mark in the market with its fast interface and quick loading tabs and an option of incognito window. It gave the option of adding extensions for different other websites and social networks. It had no ribbon and used maximum space for showing his website and even a first time user was able to understand the usage of Chrome.
The only problem with the Chrome was the firebug which was better in Firefox. Many users complained about it and there were many small bugs. Due to this reason, chrome is not used by many professionals and is mostly used for home or personal use.
Firefox
Mozilla foundation launched Firefox in 2004, And at that time there was only Internet explorer which was successful. Firefox had to satisfy Internet Explorer users to create a market for itself. Adding some extra features like plugins for different sites was a different thing for users though slowly, it became the first choice of the professional and IT designers. Almost every website was compatible through few extensions and plugins which Firefox provided. The only issue with Firefox was that it is slower than Chrome and with all the extensions and plugins it becomes a lot slower than Chrome.
Both browsers being best in their own way have their market share more than any other browser. But it depends on the choice of the user to select the best browser from these two. Google chrome is more popular because of the fact that it is easy to use and it has low memory usage.
