Google Chrome

I tried it a year ago and didn't like it. I gave it another try the other day after firefox kept crashing and it's amazing! Pages load 2-3x faster. It's ridiculously fast. It's very minimalistic and you can import all your settings from IE and firefox.

Has anyone else tried it out recently?

Re: Google Chrome

If I could get rid of the download bar showing up as well as the status bar I'd be using it. Since you can't disable those, I don't use it. I realize that sounds trivial, but it drives me crazy to have things at the bottom of my screen, and I just choose to use FF instead.

Re: Google Chrome

I'm in the same boat as you. This latest version of Firefox has been anything but stable, so I'm giving Chrome another shot.

Re: Google Chrome

Holy crap. I just downloaded Chrome upon reading this thread to give it a shot, and it is infinitely faster than IE. While at a snails pace with IE, I am flying on Chrome, with barely any load time at all opening a new web page.

Re: Google Chrome

what's funny is that everyone I know that uses chrome now, is doing so because firefox turned to crap recently.

Re: Google Chrome

I love whenever I'm using/borrowing someone else's computer and they don't have anything but IE. I go, "Sticking with Internet Explorer, eh? You should get Google Chrome." Nice little bit of advertising there.

Re: Google Chrome

I downloaded Chrome when Firefox was acting up one day and I haven't looked back. I only use Firefox when something isn't working right in Chrome.

If it had delicious, Adblock and DownThemAll, I'd convert.

Yeah, my pages load nearly instantly on chrome. I used to love firefox, but chrome is WAY faster and has caught up to firefox in the features and options department.

Re: Google Chrome

Yeah the latest version of Firefox was awful IMO, and IE8 is just not very fast, so I've been using Chrome for a few months and really like it.

Re: Google Chrome

Chrome user as well, just don't like the fact Chrome doesn't ask to save my passwords for pages.

I'm using a bookmarklet for Delicious. It works the same as the Firefox extension.

Cool, now all it needs is Adblock and DownThemAll, oh and Download Helper, definitely need that.
