Firefox, though I admittedly haven't tried the Chromium beta. Maybe I will later...

[Mister LinOx]

W00t for answering the question. :P I use Firefox most of the time and I used to use the Windows Google Chrome. I really liked it. I haven't had a PC with Linux on it since it came it came out, so I can't say.

[kernelhaxor]

Firefox all the way!

whats the appeal of chrome over chromium? i've tried both on both platforms and they seem basically the same but chromium seems to be updated faster.

so why not just skip the whole EULA thing ans use chromium

...chromium and chrome are the same thing. Chromium is the actual project and Chrome is chromium with the Google name on it. Same project.
You can say that one is the work and the other is the result, to put it in simpler terms.

Firefox ftw

i knew that, my question is what good (if any) having the Google name on it does?

if it doesn't add anything what's the point of agreeing to an EULA when you could just use chromium?

Firefox forever, but chrome is fast, im waiting to see how good chrome actually gets.

[vishzilla]

on a serious note, i like chromium for its speed but with the lack on addons i will stick with firefox. another thing, i enjoy being involved with the mozilla community. that missing in chromium too.

If we're talking about on Linux, I would definitely say Firefox. Chromium is just not ready yet.

If we're talking about on Windows, then definitely Chrome.

[Kingsley]

I'll go with whichever is most customizable.

Chromium IS ready!!.....you can enable addons and plugins so AdSweep and Java/Flash work fine...its extremely fast and is constantly updated everyday!....100/100 acid test results!
I feel this browser is a must for x64bit users as FF 3.5 tracemonkey is not available in x64 bit browsers....

I am now testing out Opera 10 x/QT4....so far so good!! (no addons though)

Its an unfair question because firefox is at version 3.5 and chromium (linux) hasn't even made a final release.

[HappinessNow]

I use all 3 of the following:

1. Firefox (primarily)
2. Opera (Secondary)
3. Google Chrome (just reinstalled on XP and using now)

I plan to use Google Chrome more often and the next cell phone I plan to buy will be a HTC Hero which uses the Google Android OS, when it comes available I will beta test and develop for Google Chrome OS and my next computer will without a doubt come pre-loaded with Google Chrome OS.

Chromium does not have any plugins YET.Until that, firefox wins.

I looked at some youtube videos with 32 bit version of flash on chromium yesterday. I'd say there is at least 1 plugin working then.....

[itreius]

Chrome, as soon as there's a stable version. Till then, Firefox as my main browser in Linux, Chromium just for testing.

[siimo]

When will Chrome Linux go GOLD.

[ibutho]

For now, Firefox remains my main browser (mainly because of the extensions), but I think Chromium is also a very good browser and will easily overtake Opera as my second choice browser once it has full plugin support.

Full plugin support = ABP, Google <3 ads.
