Google Chrome verses Firefox

Hi Orion65
 
I don't think that there is much to chose between Firefox and Chrome when it comes to security but IMO Firefox wins hands down regarding privacy. There are also many add-ons that will make Firefox even more private than it is "out of the box".
 
Google's Chrome likes to track you for its commercial ends whereas Mozilla's Firefox is open source. Like Sherry you will have worked out that I also favour Firefox but at the end of the day it's a matter of personal choice. You can easily give Firefox a try whilst still retaining Chrome on your system - it's not a matter of one or the other.

I really like Chrome and I know everyone is going to have a prefference. I like the ease of clearing my cookies and other history with Chrome while other web engines, I think you may need to be a Nasa sceincetist t do it :-)
So Chrome is My choice

Hello AZFD,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Are you asking for the Password Manager extension in the Firefox Browser?
 
This sometimes does happen and to try to resolve it you can try running the Toolbarfix tool.  You can download it for here.  Once downloaded launch it by clicking on the executable, and you should see the following, and  click on 'Run':
 

 
which should then take you to the following dialog:
 

 
on which you should choose/check the option 'Repair/Install the Webroot Toolbar' and then press 'Start'.
 
That should initiate the fix process and you just have to wait for it to finish, close the dialog and then check in your browser to see if the Password Manager Toolbar icon is now visible.  If the fix has been successful you should see the following greyed out icon in a toolbar at the top of the IE browser page:
 

 
One then double cliks on that so that the login dialog is presented, etc.
 
Please check the above out and come back if anything is not clear or if it does not help.

Now when I check add-on's, those are there:

Hi Oldhenwife
 
Ghostery is a privacy add on/extension that one can add to most browsers, and it serves a useful purpose...in that propoerly configured it can enhance you online privacy.
 
If you do unintall Chrome then, assuming that it has been installed/added to Chrome, Ghostery will also be effectively uninstalled. Having said that, Ghostery can also be added to Firefox and it may be that this is where the Ghostery panel is coming from? Personally, I would read the panel carefully as I believe that it is a wizard that guides you through the set up of the add...and if I were you I would keep it installed as it does a good job re. the aforementioned privacy aspect.
 
Nothing else to know or consider other than Firefox/Chrome are both very good browsers and therefore it is a toss up as to which to use...most likely you should use the one that you get on best with.
 
Hope that helps?
