If you don't type in a valid address on the address bar, the phrase automatically goes into the Google search engine. :P

You probably installed something that makes Ask.com your default engine. That would be your fault, not Google. :P

Ever since I started using Chrome I've liked it more than firefox. Firefox used to use upwards of a GB of my memory after a while of browsing, whereas chrome uses almost none of my memory. Although at the end of the day it's still personal choice, just like everything.

I've never had any problems with chrome.  It certainly beats Firefox pigging out on my ram.

It's also got this handy feature (which I think Firefox doesn't have) where you can select text on a webpage and drag it to the tabs bar to do a search/go to the url (if it isn't hyperlinked).

Firefox has this handy free plugin for a free download of any youtube video in a multitude of formats.

mega uber bumpage

My Chrome is phailing right now, always getting me "oops this page crashed" so BACK TO FIREFOX !!

Plus, Firefox's search engine is more handly IMO. But i might start to use favorites :P
Chrome lets you search just about any wobsite through the address bar. Type, say, youtube.com; hit the "tab" button on your keyboard; enter your search terms and hit enter. Blam! You just saved yourself a step!

Plus it circumvents their new instant search gayness.

Yes, I know it can be turned off.

I find chrome the best just because it doesn't take 75% of my coms resources while IE, Opera, FF all eat up my resources

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

Yes, it's actually pretty promising.

Although I am ashamed to say that I still probably won't use it due to extreme fanboyism :(.

IE fails, its slower and not as cool looking. GC is TOO simple. might be faster by a tad but FF has all the gadgets (speed dial, mouse gestures, personas, etc.)

Well yeah I agree about the IE thing (of course).

Chrome comes with its own version of speed dial by default.  It has skins available as well, and has an addon for mouse gestures.
