Anyone here using Chrome browser?

hermione · 09-03-2008, 04:03 PM

I just have to share that I am in love with Google's new Chrome browser. When I checked my TwitterFox yesterday, that's all everyone was talking about, so naturally I had to see for myself. It's the fastest browser I have ever tried and I've tried a lot (IE 6 & 7, Firefox, Sea Money, Safari, Opera).

So if you are looking for fast browsing and don't need a lot of fancy customizations, check it out at:

I plan on giving it a try, but am pretty happy with Firefox right now.

I just heard about it today. I use Firefox and probably will continue to do so until Chrome is at least out of Beta and I've heard good things about it.

I'm not very a very savvy person when it comes to browsers, I have been using Firefox & safari for a while and will be trying out GC soon.

I am bet I am willing to try it.
but I've still waiting GC for linux.
Just curious why GC doesn't support linux though

As a web developer, I'm somewhat weary of ANOTHER browser. With Internet Explorer, a new browser has meant new bugs/quirks, which has in turn meant more work making a site look good in all of them.

Chrome seems okay. For those of you that don't know, it's based off the same engine (called Webkit) as Apple's Safari, so nothing new there really. I'm probably not going to mess around with it much until it comes out for Mac.

I have been using Chrome since they released the beta and I love it! The best part is that your home page consists of your nine most visited webpages which allows for quick entry into your favorite sites. The only thing that I have noticed is that some applications don't run very well on it yet such as Acrobat Reader. It continually will lock up on you so I have had to resort back to Firefox for viewing pdfs. I hope they will fix this in the final version.

I myself am using the Chrome browser and have been doing so ever since the beta was released. I think that it is a great browser and I especially like that your home menu is the list of your nine most commonly used sites. That they allow you to import your bookmarks on other computers is pretty cool too. The only thing I have found wrong with it so far is that programs like Acrobat Reader load very slow. I hope they correct this problem in the final version.

I myself have been using Chrome ever since it was released and have found it very useful. I especially like that your homepage consists of your nine most commonly viewed web pages and that you can import your bookmarks supposedly onto any machine you are using, allowing you to "bring" your bookmarks with you. The only bad flaw that I have noticed is that programs such as Acrobat Reader load very slow. I hope that they correct this problem in the final version of the software.
