Stealers are easily avoided by using an addon to store passwords, such as LastPass or Roboform, or using a master password in FF. Chrome has an equal amount of stealers. The reason there're more stealers for FF is because FF is more popular. It's not like coding a stealer for Chrome is any more difficult than FF.
Rendering graphics is irrelevant.. we're talking about stability and security. Flash has been known to crash more easily in Chrome. I assume Chrome didn't incorporate much support for Flash, because it's transitioning to HTML5. It's trying, at least.
Remember when Chrome first out? They got a lot of heat for
violating user privacy. Do you also remember the vulnerability in Chrome that would allow hackers to control the user's PC through Chrome?
However, I agree that Firefox crashes more overall. It's nice that Chrome's tabs are isolated from each other, so if one crashes, it doesn't ruin everything.
I think it's a matter of preference, but after some research, I still stand by that Firefox is more secure. Even the HJT team on HF recommends Firefox as the securest browser.
In any case, if we want, we can make a "Chrome vs. Firefox" topic. This topic ios about a theme.
