Who's using this as their browser??

If you're not............ DO IT....... It's a kickass browser and is 100X faster than Firefox.

I've been using it for about a week now and will NEVER go back. It hasn't crashed once, loads pages very quickly and has some really nice features.

Top right, you have two drop down boxes.. I believe what you are looking for is in there?

I use it at home, Afghanistan 3G network doesn't much like Google, and Chrome is very buggy over here.
Chrome pays off best when you have dial-up or a slow DSL line.

It's been a while since I tried it but I remember having too many issues and switched back to Firefox. Maybe I'll download the latest and give it another spin.

Got the wife a new laptop for christmas with Windows 7.   Impressed with it so far. So fed up with my tired 10 year old system running ME I ordered a new system yesterday! My poor Sony 21 inch trinitron has lines thru it and the brightness is stuck at full bright and it flickers for 5 minutes when you fire it up after its been off a while. Almost puts you into a seizure it flickers so bad! HAHA!  Trying to get all my files moved off this system.

Just tried it, based on the comments about the fast speed-not impressed.  Not sure what happened, but Mozilla is 10x faster for me.  It was painfully slow for me.  :cheers:

Weird... Firefox used to be good, for me... And in the past couple of months seems to have really slowed down...

Google Chrome is really moving along, for me... I'm still in the "testing" stages, so keep the opinions coming  :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

tried ie7, firefox, chrome and opera.  liked chrome and opera best but ended up using opera.  speed difference wasn't much of a factor choosing between the 2.  I just like the feel of opera better.
Make it so!

The underlying design of Google Chrome makes a TON of sense.
This comic gives just enough detail: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html

I've had Chrome installed since very early after it was released, but I haven't really gotten in to the groove of using it.
FireFox has been my browser of choice for a long time. Although, I have had troubles with javascript recently. It will stop working until I delete the cache and reload the page.

I'm researching to see if Chrome protects against the things that a plug-in like No-Script addresses. If Chrome covers that, then I'll give it a more thorough test.

Try using IETab for FF. Little button on bottom corner, when you want to view something in IE just click it and it will reload the page as if you were using IE.

I really like Firefox, but I'll give it a try..

I am using it now, but how do you go back more than one page at a time (firefox lets you select from a list of previous pages).

im not sure if it's bugs or nor but all the pages are linked so if you delete one page they all go away..
also pasting links requires more steps and has to be done by pasteing first and then bracketing the imgs after and,.. the codes dissapear so if you make a mistake your unable to view and correct your mistake...

As far as deleting one at a time, in each tab there is an x and if you click that x only that tab is deleted. You may be talking about something else, but hopefully that helps.

Tried to use the 'buy it now' button on ebay, paypal link was FAIL on Google Chrome. IE6 and Firefox worked fine.

Been using google chrome for some time now.  Nothing else matters anymore.  Google Chrome people get on board.  Now this google wave crap is another story, absolutely no use for it as far as I can see.
