Anyone using Google Chrome ?

[tomato]

post here if you're using Chrome, or if you tried and went back to FF, what was wrong with Chrome?

[tk-421]

I'm using Chromium, which is quickly replacing my FF.
The only thing I don't like is how the tabs are at the top. I would much rather have them at the bottom.
Other than that, it's quite a lot faster than FF on my Linux box.

I have been a diehard FF fan for years.....until I tried Chrome. It is so much faster than FF. And I like how when you first open it, it has different windows to can open of places you have recently visited. It isn't perfect but I am sure it will only get better.

I use both, but chrome doesn't have as nice of an adblock and no print preview.

I've been using Chrome for at least 6 months. It has some nice features that I've gotten used to. Don't even remember what they are or even think about them much. I sometimes have to test websites in FF and IE for work and quickly find fault with either of them. Especially IE. Chrome is just user-friendly, IMO.

I tried it and still use it on my laptop, it's good. I use IE8 and FF as well. Not particularly stuck to one browser, but I also don't take advantage of all the plugins and extras on any of them either so my needs are fairly light. As long as the page pops up fairly quickly that's all I really care about. There's really nothing wrong with chrome though, there's just nothing great about it.

A browser is just one of those things that doesn't need to be complicated and feature packed and they actually work better when they're not.

I must be missing something with browsers these days because I really couldn't tell you which one I was using half the time.

Been using Chrome for more than a year now. I like how it's much more simple and straight-forward than FF but still blocks active-x unlike IE.

Only problem is that it does crash rarely because of intermittent errors with Flash plug-ins

I love chrome. I am a horrid typer when i type fast with lots of spelling errors. Chrome spell checks in real time no matter what or where you are typing such as in this post. Underlines in red just like microsoft word i love it.

Chrome's a good old fashioned basic browser. There's just nothing about it that's really better than FF, and I really miss the drop down list of frequently visited sites under the address box that FF has.

[Loren]

Yeah, and Chrome is much friendlier with what you type in the address bar. For instance, if I type the first two characters of a site that I visit frequently, it pops up first in the list AND if I slap the enter key at that point, I go there without any further interaction. I like that.

It also builds a home page for you based on your most frequently visited sites, which is very convenient for me because I rarely take the time to manage bookmarks.

I love the auto spellcheck, too... didn't realize that was a Chrome feature, but it's nice.

I'm interested in trying out Chrome, but until it has the functionality of the Firefox plug-ins AdBlock and NoScript there's just no point for me.

I've been using Chrome since shortly after it came out. From then on, I've only gone back to Firefox in the few occasions that I needed to do something with a Firefox extension.

The only thing I needed out of Chrome to be perfect for my everyday needs was some kind of "linkificator" plug-in, and I think they added add-on support in the latest build, so I've no complaints about it =)

[why?]

I use chrome a lot, and I do like it. I also have safari, ff, and ie installed. ie8 is just gross, but the other two are ok too. FF has a few cool features as well.
