Earlier this week, we kicked off a new feature that asked you to answer a simple question: which web app is better? Who’d win if you took two web tools, strapped boxing gloves on each of them, and threw them into a steel cage?

We were curious, so that’s exactly what we did (minus the boxing gloves). In our inaugural week of the Web Faceoff, we pitted Mozilla Firefox against upstart Google Chrome. We threw these two web browser titans into the ring and had you cast the deciding vote over who deserved glory and fame. Now, after a staggering 8,800 votes, we finally have a victor.

Here is your winner:

Yes, Firefox has taken the gold and left its newer competitor on the tarmac! It wasn’t an easy win, though. Firefox garnered 52% of the vote – 4600 of them to be exact – while Chrome snatched up 3310 votes for 38%. 10% of you (911 votes) just couldn’t decide between the two and voted that the fight was a tie.

Tune in next Monday, when we take two more popular web apps and have them duel to the death. Don’t miss the excitement, and don’t forget the popcorn.
