As much as I loved Fx, I think it's over between us. Chrome is smaller, lighter and faster. Now it also supports extensions, which was the only reason I stuck to Fx that long. I advise you give it a shot.

Get the browser from here:

Get the extensions from here:

Does it have Speed Dial? What about mouse gestures?

What about mouse gestures?

I can no longer navigate the internet without those lol

I've been using Chrome since Goose first announced its release and, now that it includes more functional addons, I'm one step closer to removing Firefox from my computer. Chrome has a cleaner look and runs faster overall.

Chrome has many addons that perform similar to Mouse Gestures but I liked this one the most.

Chrome looks pretty slick! I just might jump on this bandwagon at some point. I've been using Firefox for 6 years now... before that I really like iCab as a browser (it was simple) :P

for me its been firefox for only a year now, I tried the very first chrome when it came out (perhaps even beta version) and didnt like it

I've been using it for more than a year and I still love it. And I'm gonna love it more when I finish downloading all the extensions I need. XD

Firefox, in my opinion, is still better. There's a lot of more things that it supports (such as streaming movies on netflix, which I LOVE to do.) And I already have everything set up very nice on my firefox browser. (I have speed dial set up like in Opera, with an easy mouse gesture that brings me right to speed dial. I can open up facebook, GTM, youtube, and my email in under 2 seconds.)

I also have all my fav websites set up with stylish (which doesn't work with Chrome.)

Probably faster, but the skins and themes are lame.

Im going to give it a big test drive now

IE went down the toilet when windows updated it to the new version and now there is rubbish all over my computer, IE without addons, IE, IE browser.. its icon spamming ?

and now as much as it saddens me I feel Firefox is going down too, a few toable isse I have been having with mine, I constantly try to update all the plugins and addons but still get issues out of it

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** December 18, 2009, 09:45:33 AM »

ok I have tried it for solid few hour blocks across 1 or 2 days and while it takes getting used to and I have to add all my bookmarks, etc

overall I can say its great, definitely runs quicker then IE or Firefox

while I am getting used to it, it looks like its staying for the long run

google chrome would load any pages, other sites said there was no known fix

I was using IE 8 as a sub but it kept crashing so I rolled it back to IE 6 which is much more stable and wouldnt you know Chrome now works :P

IE 8 =

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
