Jamie,

What do you prefer about Chrome over previous browsers?

Can it exist side-by-side with Mozilla, or another browser, or does it replace the old one?

Any downside to it you have found yet?


Thanks,
XEagleDriver

I've tried Firefox, and Opera, but I still prefer IE for some reason. I'd switch to something else if it were better, but I haven't tried chrome yet.

It's faster than all of the other browsers, and it's very simple, so you don't have to worry about a bunch of extra crap getting in your face.

I use it side by side with Firefox. I use Chrome for browsing, and Firefox for my FTP and whatnot.

I tried it, but I still prefer Firefox for most of my browsing. I use Chrome as my alternate browser.

Took the words out of my mouth.
I mean Chrome is nice, But firefox just feels more right, even if it is a bit slower.

I used to be a huge Oprea fan, Netscape before that.

I use Chrome at work for Lucidchart because it runs well off a flash drive and I am not allowed to install Firefox.

If Chrome or Opera supported add-ons and plug-ins like Firefox I would consider it as my main browser.

But flashing banners, pop-ups, pop-unders, highlighted text roll-overs, animated flash, ads... etc. have ruined any chance of ever having an enjoyable browsing experience.

All these are things of the past with Firefox and the right set of plug-ins.

I used to have firefox on three very different pcs.
Lately I begun to notice big slowdowns and huge memory consumption from ff, especially after opening several tabs.
Since I switched to chrome, it's feels much faster, I don't get killed with huge resource hug as FF.
I made the switch right after Chrome ver 4 - it enabled extensions. There some I can't live w/o - like AdBlock and Mouse gestures.
There plenty of other very good ones as Google voice etc...

I've been using FF for the past couple of years. I finally switched over to Chrome when they added extensions back in beta a couple months ago. I can't live without adblock any longer! FF and Chrome are great. Chrome seems to be a little quicker and cleaner for me.

 

[jamie2112]

I am loving the Chrome its smoking fast and I love the extensions......what was I doing before this???Oh yeah having issues with FF and Safari.......not that Safari is bad I like it better than FF as its faster.I use FF just for the Tour network and Vidalia.....

FIREFOX died on me. idk why

so i switched to chrome. it is working pretty well, and i have a new skin for it.

1 problem though = when i hit the "back" button. it returns to the top of the last page . not where i was on that page . if i am at the bottom of a long page = scrolling ness.

does anyone know how to fix this ? thanx

I have never heard of a browser dying. Have you done a virus scan with something other than Norton? If that doesn't fix it, contact Firefox.

yeah, odd, isn't it.

no. all i have is norton, from comcast.

as is it now, idc. chrome is kinda cool. so i think i will run with it for a while, and see how it pans out.

I have Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but Safari is by far the fastest on my machine. I keep playing with the others though. The one thing I hate about Safari though is the lack of themes. Of course, customization is or lack thereof is nothing new for apple

The latest chrome though is pretty close to Safari in speed. It's close.

 

[jamie2112]

Chrome smokes Safari on my Mac.Its almost twice as fast.I love it myself..

 

[jeffsg4mac]

Here they both are on mine. You can see they are both fast but Safari beats it a little. It is close though. I emptied both caches before starting. Double click on the movie to start it click once to pause. The play and pause buttons dont work right. Must be a glitch in iweb or I did something wrong. I do like google chrome on the mac though. It really does give safari a run for its money and is customizable too.

I want to modify my last statement- I haven't seen problems with browsers that aren't Internet Exploder. I wanted to throw my desktop out the window because of the problems and once I found FireFox, it's all rainbows and moonbeams. And bacon. I like bacon.

Your darn tootin. IE has sucked for a long time on any platform. Microsoft should just give up on the browser.

They can't. It's the heart of the OS.
