Is Google Chrome better than Internet Explorer?

Answer 1

yes Google chrome is better than internet explorer. in my oppinion google chrome is the best internet browser. i use both google chrome and internet explorer and i have noticed that there are many times when internet explorer does not respond and that sucks because when it does not respond, you cannot close it or click on any link. in my oppinion Internet explorer is more virus prone than any other browser. google chrome always responds and is faster and lesser virus prone than internet explorer.

Opinions from Answers.com contributors"Better" is a relative term; some may prefer one browser while others prefer another. However, to help you decide, here are some differences between the two.

Google Chrome is supposed to be based on the same rendering engine as Apple's Safari web browser, which many people do indeed say runs better/faster than Internet Explorer. It also performs better on the Acid3 rendering test than Internet Explorer.

In terms of features, Google Chrome has tools to work with web applications in their own windows and even putting shortcuts to those web apps on the computer. Internet Explorer is a more traditional browser which includes a search bar in the toolbar and more program options. In Google Chrome, there is one big box for both web addresses and Google search, as opposed to IE 8 which has two separate boxes for the same purpose. There is also more room to view the page in Google Chrome, as the File, Edit, etc. toolbar has been replaced with just two options: "Page" and "Wrench" menus with all the same commands. The tabs are displayed in the very very top of the screen where normally the title goes, and the status bar on the bottom is smallest and pops up only when needed so as to maximize space. In IE, it is fixed there.

One of the most interesting and unique aspects of the Google Chrome browser is how it works Behind the Scenes. It uses multiple processes, similar to an operating system, so if a java web app would slow down the browser or something would cause a crash, only a single tab is effected and everything else keeps working. Another thing is that it uses a new "V8" tool for working with Java to increase performance.

Internet Explorer is part of Windows and may launch faster, but performance is not much difference between the two, aside from the fact that having Java run quickly is an important aspect of Chrome. In terms of the interface, Chrome is highly simplistic yet draws elements of its GUI from both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

In conclusion, the browsers are different and it's hard to say if one is better than the other. Depending on your personal preferences, you may see it either way.

In comparison, Internet Explorer has been proven much less powerful and is less supportive of such things as CSS3 3D Rendering. While Chrome and Firefox keep up with it. I feel like, personally, Chrome has a more simplicitic design and it less box-like as Firefox. Though both runs exceptionally fast, Chrome usually runs slightly faster. However, in Firefox, you're given more options in extensions that are more "tech" oriented. But, as a tech, I've rarely needed the things in Firefox that Chrome doesn't have. If you're an average user, hell, even a tech, Chrome is generally a better browser in terms of looks and speed, along with how it handles it extensions. Just try Google Chrome out and compare it to other browsers to see which you like and which is fastest for you.

In the answer above, you see that it could be just as valid to say that IE is better or that Chrome is better. However, in my opinion, and in the opinion of most "techies," Firefox is the best browser choice, Internet Explorer is one of the worst, and Chrome is somewhere in between.

Although it may be said that Google Chrome does have simpler features and a "different" approach to browsing, from experience it seems to run much quicker. It can be said that features of security for Google Chrome is much better, and it is more reliable. Firefox is moderate and Internet Explorer is just simply trash.

When I tried the beta version of Chrome, it had a bug where the searchbar would freeze and it wouldn't let me type. They may have fixed that now though. Personally I disagree with the "techie" opinion because with my old computer (which was ancient) Firefox was actually slower than IE, although I did like the web developing tools. Safari in my opinion was absolute crap; it made Firefox seem heavenly on that old junker. Maybe with a brand new top-of-the-line machine it works faster, but it will drain your RAM. Overall, IE is the most stable web browser, but Chrome was much faster when it was actually working... But if they have a new version of Chrome it may be better than IE.

Google Chrome is faster then Internet Explorer, however it has less features and often renders CSS incorrectly, causing splits in the pages, and seems to have trouble with certain websites, for general browsing use chrome, but for those websites chrome has problems with use Internet Explorer. GC is also cleaner then IE and is less in your way. Answer: Google knows how to lure users with the seeming simplicity of its products, even though there's a great deal of complexity going on behind the scenes. Microsoft often makes products that seem to create more work than they should for users. Google's new Chrome and Microsoft's Windows Internet Explorer 8, both out in beta, or test, versions.

Chrome shines in its simplicity, while IE 8 brings some better functionality to an existing product.

Both have lots to offer users. Whether either is a good fit for you will depend on your needs. Just as learning a new operating system can be time-consuming, if you're already happy with the Web browser you use, whether it's Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari, or Opera, you don't have to download either Chrome or IE 8, both of which are free.

Answer 4

Yes. Google Chrome is twice as fast as IE and not to mention, it just looks much better. Google Chrome is even being considered to be as good if not better than Mozilla, and since Mozilla is a better web browser than IE, i would say that answers your question. Now, since Google Chrome is so new, its not really considered a legit browser like IE and Mozilla, such as if you have Google Chrome, and you have a hotmail.com account,it will say that it wont work as good as it could without either Mozilla, IE, or Safari. Its only a matter of time.

Answer 5

Definitely. It is fast, has good security, and is simple.

I personally think that Maxthon is the best browser. You can customize the background, add pictures of yourself, make a Maxthon account AND there is a Maxthon for mobiles. However, Google Chrome is a close second because you can customize the background and it is easy to monitor the downloads. But, Firefox has a lot of glitches, for some reason you cannot download Flash for it. Internet Explorer JUST got tabs, and you can't really customize anything.

Answer 6

Yes, it is. Anything is better than Internet Explorer. IE constantly crashes, is slow, & has many inconveniences to it. I've been using Chrome for close to 3 years, and have almost no complaints.

Answer 7

Google Chrome is a web browser from Google, and Google is a company.

They are not comparable - like Factory and Coal, for example.

Answer 8

Yes. Google Chrome is been tested and has been proven to be faster then the other search engines.
