    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.

      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.

            Does it have anything like Adblock for Firefox?

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

                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.

                  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.

                      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.

                        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.

                          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.
