Google Chrome

[snoblo]

tried it under linux. It was okay, but it crashed a couple of times. I guess I'll just have to wait for the native linux release...

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

This is one program I do not want to emulate. I cannot wait until they release the native Linux version. ^_^

@ Gerudo: No, I don't. Er, rather, I don't use them as much as I should/could. I use a few.

the crossover version looks like windows and is so ulgly under os x.

firefox beats chrome anyday

firefox beats chrome anyday

It does for now. Once Chrome becomes stable and actually lives up to its claims, it will certainly be a force to be reckoned with. Until then, yeah, I'm using Firefox.

Had it for less than 1 min. Seems very pretty and user friendly, but I'm just too much into FireFox. It also doesn't have AdBlockerPlus, which blocks 100% of bad ads while keeping all good flash/java. Definitely get it if you have FireFox (ABP i mean.)

PHAIL.
My Chrome has not had a popup. EVER. EVEN IF I WANT THE POPUP, IT SHOWS A SMALL TOOLBAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. IF YOU CLICK IT, YOU CAN SEE THE POPUP.

I'm actually liking this better than Firefox so far... Am I bad person?

 

[Sensai]

No. You're a bad person for liking anything more than Opera, though.

(which just released its 10.0 Alpha and it's fookin' _quick_)

 

[Omis]

Just curious but what does it mean when it says it is open source?

 

[Waluigi911]

Means you can do stuff to the coding.

 

[Omis]

Means you can do stuff to the coding.

Sort of like the add ons firefox enjoys?

 

[Boofy!]

I love the interface of Chrome and... yeaa...

 

[Undrdog]

Keh, screw Google and their monopoly over the interwebz.

I've read page 1 thru 4; Even found it bemusing reading the debate, though brief, between Toecutter and YinLong over copypasta issues with chrome; Still, fast forward to the present. Only issue would have to be over Google's Omnibox that stores IP addresses that which claims is solely 2%...seems fictitious.

I'm...still very much resistant to downloading this, as a user disatisfied with using FF3 wonder if Chrome is worth it anymore.

 

[Sensai]

SmashChamp, did you say you're dissatisfied with FF3? What is it you're using?

 

[meta master]

give it a few months and FF will be beating it again.

yes. yes it does.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

I'm still waiting for the Linux version. I don't want to emulate the masterpiece that is Chrome.

 

[Sensai]

They _still_ haven't gotten a Linux version? Wow.

In other news, Chrome is out of beta.

One downfall about Chrome (I'm noticing) is the inability to copy, and even save, most if not all images from websites.

It occasionally occurs with font, as well.

Still pretty basic and easy to use, though. I like it.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Are the Chrome updates improving? I haven't bothered using Chrome since it first came out. I guess I am just still waiting for the Linux version to come out.

Just add .jpeg to the end of a file name and you should be able to save pictures. At least with me.

 

[marthmaster59]

i downloaded it, but this is a family computer so somebody else forced me to get rid of it and they still continue to hump firefox's leg.but with the couple of days i had with it,it was awesome.the homepage was awesome, it was easy to use, it wasn't complicated, it can run youtube properly (firefox can't).as a matter of fact my mom and dad were ok with it, but the most stupid boyfriend ever (my sister's) always hangs out here (he needs to get a life,and if he's not going to do that, than he needs a computer of his own) was the first recorded firefox fanboy and ..well..you know....but google chrome was awesome!!!!!!also, firefox and internet explorer constantly crash, but google chrome was my saving grace.I MISS GOOGLE CHROME.I am sorry for my wall of text, btw.

 

[Sensai]

Buzz: They still haven't released a Linux version yet? ****.

And I'm not sure if they've gotten better. I've been using it on the work computer (which I haven't been around for ~3 weeks) and in that time it hadn't improved at all. They've at least come out with the 1.0 update since then, but I'm unsure of how it works.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

I like Chrome's idea, but it just didn't live up to itself. I have yet to have a single tab crash. The entire browser freezes quite often.

 

[meta master]

the only thing firefox is really missing is the seperate tab managemant. maybe in firefox 4? also, many of chromes features were simply ripped off from the other browsers (opera's speed dial, safari's private browsing, etc) so chrome really isnt all that great. and the amazing speed? thats what you get when all of your other products are sill in beta *cough*gmail ~ 5 years*cough*. besides, ff3.1 beta 2 is plenty fast with tracemonkey, a few aboutonfig tweaks and addons.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

I forgot about one really good thing: Chrome allows free dragging of tabs in and out of shared windows. Firefox can kinda do that, but it has to reload the page from scratch when you drag it. Chrome's isolated tab processes let them move freely without delay or reload.

You make it sound like Chrome is bad because they used great features from other browsers, lol

You can thank me later.

It's clearly silly to think that Chrome is bad simply because other browser's had things first...but surely you understand why people roll their eyes when they see things like 'revolutionary start page' (speed dial) and other things like this touted as being new in any way.

Once again...

You can all thank me later.

LOL! But I don't use Chrome... so I don't need your rescue.

Firefox > all

 

[Evenkor]

I actually like Chrome. A lot. For me, it runs twice, if not three times as fast as Firefox, which I find marginally faster than explorer. But my computer might just be weird like that. Also, when it comes to downloading, my computer doesn't crash nearly as often.

 

[Sensai]

Silence, disbeliever!

I just feel sorry for poor little Opera, getting so little use even though it's so amazing.

 

[Sandst0rm]

Chrome's nice, but I use this instead. It's built off the same source. Check it out:

[Ezialo]

Hm... Browser ratings for me?
1. Opera (A little known amazing piece of work.)
2. IE (It seems to run fine only on my comp 0_o)
3. Chrome (Fastest one. Period. But it's lacking... The bonuses.)
4. Safari (It's more ad-proof, but other than that... Nada.)
5. FireFox (I HATE IT ON MY COMP! IT MESSED IT UP!!! It's good on other's comps, so...)


Chrome was worth it due to pure loading speed.

Don't get me wrong. I have it installed. I use it in the rare instance that Firefox fails to render a page properly (or crashes). I also use it to test web sites I build.

Chrome for Mac/Linux, first half of 2009.

I'll just leave this here...

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

So, sometime before June 30? That would mark the year's halfway mark. I won't get my hopes up for the Linux release. T_T

 

[Viox]

I don't think ill ever be swayed from firefox.. looks like a decent browser though.

 

[meta master]

I think SWare Iron is better then Chrome because of the privacy issues. Still, although i like the speed. However, as soon as FF3 gets separate tab processing, its going to kill everything else anyways
