Its design looks interesting enough to try, but early user reviews suggest it may not be ready for prime time. Also, even if I loved it, I wouldn't switch until there was a Linux version available. Finally, I'd expect it to either provide, or have a way to install, all of the add-on functionality I'm used to using with Firefox. It's the incompatibility of some of my favorite add-ons that prevents me from updating Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 (although I do have Firefox 3 installed on of my Linux machines).
Yep!
by samusgravity - 9/5/08 9:19 PM In reply to: Downloaded but not installed by rbsjrxI just downloaded it, and I am currently debating installing it. Since I already have Firefox 3, I probably don't need it.

chrome

isn't that what they used to put on car bumpers? yep...if you're old enuff to have seen one. I didn't know trere was a new brouser until i got this weeks e-mail. unless it knows what I need and finds it before i even have to ask, I dont see any benefit except to the exclusive ads to sell something. Otherwise it's just something else to clutter and slow the system down
Totally Satisfied w/Opera

Besides IE, I've used Firefox, Avant, Maxthon & Opera; I prefer Opera's combination of speed, security & free e-mail. No desire to try Chrome. Wish them well, though.
it's pretty fast

I know it's still beta, but this thing works noticeably faster than FF.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it

IE broke. Firefox works fine. No need to change. There are too many other events in life to spend my time on.
Bad start...

Well, I downloaded Chrome and clicked on a video tutorial on how to use it. It froze. I deleted it. It may have been a one in a million occurence. But since I'm happy with what my mother calls "Gorilla Fox"(she may not know what it is that I downloaded for her, but she knows it's much faster than IE or AOL), I'll stick with that for a while longer...
message for thebigjimsho, don't know how to send it directly
by chiara embaum - 9/5/08 11:25 PM In reply to: Bad start... by thebigjimshohi, how funny, I have been calling it Gorilla too....................
Probably a Mom thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????
Loving it

I think it's pretty much the same as the last IE, but it's faster, cleaner, there is a lot more space to see the page since they stripped off all the bars that were useless. Also, I like the main page of the favorites. And since it's google, we know it's open source (wich is kind) and we know it'll be updated.
Right now it's in the beta phase and it works pretty well. Not everything is perfect, but I'm gonna stick with them.
PS: I hate M$ so when I can move outside their range I'm happy. I use vista since it's the best (for me), but I'm trying to get less other M$ stuff. Viva google! =D
Google Chrome
by dougib - 9/5/08 11:17 PM In reply to: Poll: What do you think of the Google Chrome browser? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
Downloaded twice and deleted twice as I can see no reason to switch with from what I saw and tried(both times brief)

Google Chrome browser?
by tosim91 - 9/5/08 11:19 PM In reply to: Poll: What do you think of the Google Chrome browser? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I've bveen using Opera for almost 10 years, and would not change to any other browser. Have tried them all out.
Opera - Never tried but friends have ?? moved on
by dougib - 9/5/08 11:26 PM In reply to: Google Chrome browser? by tosim91Curious as to what makes Opera special? Other than that, I'm close to retiring MS and moving over to Mac.

GOOGLE CHROME COPIES FIREFOX
by chiara embaum - 9/5/08 11:19 PM In reply to: Poll: What do you think of the Google Chrome browser? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
From what I've seen a lot of the Firefox features where copied by Google for this thing, I wonder if that's legal.......................
I am totally happy with Firefox. Just checked the Chrome thing out of curiosity.
no desire to change
by 1gerrit1 - 9/6/08 9:15 PM In reply to: GOOGLE CHROME COPIES FIREFOX by chiara embaumI don't want to tie myself to a browser that probably has or or will have a proprietorial interest. I intend to stay with Firefox and would go to a Linux program before going to any program that is associated with a company, no matter how well intended.
