who's on chrome?

cokecan · 9 Sep 2010 at 12:11

Chrome convert here to. Used to use FF but it started to really feel slow and bloated, trying chrome was very refreshing plus the few extensions I actually use are supported in both now

(adblock, flashblock, an exif viewer anf SABconnect).

I have come across a few sites that don't like Chrome much (mostly work-related things that dont work in anything bar IE), also I find the developer tools in Chrome half decent now so I find I use FF and firebug less and less for web dev stuff

I just recently started using it but am kind of flaking between Chrome and IE at the moment. Never liked Firefox that much. Chrome reminds me a lot of Safari really which I also think is quite a good browser.

Yesterday I though that Chrome was faster than FF, well it sort of was at work but at home was kinda the same. I think I might use Chrome at home for few weeks and see how it goes, and FF at work

You don't get OcUK theme change with Chrome like you do with FF do you?

Have been since release. Apart from download management, I prefer everything about it to other browsers.

You do. There's a stylize extension for Chrome.

Been using Chrome since I discovered it, love it. So simple and speedy!
IE is miles behind, Firefox is my 2nd choice.

Chrome is easily the fastest browser by far, and also the most smartly designed. Firefox isn't even worth considering at this point. It's so inferior I am actually shocked at those who cling onto it. Firefox is the new scummy IE browser.

Been using it since like for ever after moving from FF and it's awesome. Really fast compared to FF and it's just simple and smart.

o'rly ?

Each of the browsers have their strengths and weaknesses - I think for precompiled JS - Chrome is miles ahead but OVERALL there is one winner.

OPERA

Anyone use Iron as an alternative?

mrk · 9 Sep 2010 at 15:07

Some of the ultra paranoid people here have.

Matteysan · 9 Sep 2010 at 15:12

There is really no reason to use Iron as you can turn off the stuff that the paranoid people bang on about.

Aura, we get it, you like Opera.

Chrome is my secondary browser after IE on the PC and the primary browser on the Mac. It's quick, does what I ask of it and is secure. Auto-updates for Flash means it's convenient as well.

Used chrome since release

Is there a download add-on as I hate the way you cant close chrome without cancelling them...

I'm not dissing Chrome at all - Good browser but doesn't seem complete.

I was using it exclusively when Firefox and Opera 10.5 were slower but as soon as Opera 10.6 was released it's been a different story.

i use chrome from time to time but latest version crashes a lot

dbmzk1 · 9 Sep 2010 at 22:39

I like Chrome but I don't like the way it handles downloads or bookmarks. It could use a few extra features as default really.

spoogle · 9 Sep 2010 at 22:51

Only feature I don't like is the downloads, rest is perfect
