Google Chrome
I mostly use google Chrome but sometimes am forced to use Fire Fox. I think Chrome is Safe, and is EXTREMELY fast. I would have to say Explorer is the slowest, then Firefox, then Safari, then Chrome by a long shot! Discuss Freely about chrome!

Re: Google Chrome
I find it stupidly annoying how it loads "about:blank" when I click on the link then after a while it gives me the URL which I wanted to copy and give to a friend, I know there's other ways to do it but it shouldn't load about:blank so much.

What you're saying is that you don't like it because you have a slow internet connection? Or because left clicking on links takes you to the address instead of copying them to the clipboard?

No, I can copy the address manually, I know that, but seeming that unlike Firefox it doesn't show the URL you're loading but "about:blank"
My internet speed is 60mbp/s, if that's not enough to load 2MB of data within a second then I have no understanding of Chrome.

Re: Google Chrome
Firefox has more features, but Chrome is slightly faster. I also like their process based approach.
But overall, FF wins.

Re: Google Chrome
Chrome is amazing, I use it if I'm not on my iPad. Mainly because I've added a truckload of extensions and apps.

Chrome isn't intended to have a lot of features—it's intended to be a sort of "shell" for the web. It's faster because there are less features (along with other reasons, of course).

Hey, please make another thread for a debate on this, but this is to talk about Chrome not which one is better and why.

Re: Google Chrome
You're not going to be able to have a chat about Chrome without arguments, and even if you can make it so nobody argues there's really nothing to talk about on the subject of Chrome.

Re: Google Chrome
Chrome is a great browser, I like it's process based approach (as mentioned earlier in this thread) and it's extensibility - plugins can do pretty much anything. It's a CPU hog however, and that is never good.

Re: Google Chrome
I love chrome.
I used to use Firefox, though.
IE just needs to not exist anymore.

Re: Google Chrome
I love how Chrome doesn't crash when one tab or plugin crashes. I also like the speed and simplicity. Pre-rendering is good too.

Re: Google Chrome
It's good on fast machines, but on slower machines, it uses a ton of memory and cpu.

Re: Google Chrome
My Chrome is packed full of extensions and apps, that's why my firewall says it's using a high amount of CPU - but I don't see any performance difference.

Re: Google Chrome
I've used Chrome before, but I didn't like it because I was so used to the IE9 interface. Also, if you have a fast internet connection, IE9 is actually pretty fast. But I doubt everyone can afford a 100MB connection or better...
I'm back.
Maybe.
