I switched from Firefox to Chrome
I just recently stopped using Firefox and started using Chrome, hence the title. It's going to take a while to get used to the layout, though.
Discuss different types of internet.
Scratching that nasty wart on my back since 2009!

There are no different types of Internet. 
The Internet is the Internet.
There are several types of internet browsers, though. Is that what you mean?

I like the internet-y one. Mainly because it's the only one.

Re: I switched from Firefox to Chrome
I did that for a little while, because my FF dev tools randomly broke (well, maybe not randomly, I was playing around in about:config...) but now I'm back in Firefox, but using a new profile. Too bad I had to lose all my saved data (history, bookmarks, passwords, addons...)

Re: I switched from Firefox to Chrome
I use Safari out of habit, but prefer FireFox. Haven't tried any others.

Re: I switched from Firefox to Chrome
i prefer chrome because it has the smallest taskbar thing. whatever it's officially called, i should probably know.
I know I'm eventually going to get banned, but I'm going to ride out on a endless, shining wave of logic.

Uh, you know you can simply edit that and make it whatever size you like, right?

Firefox also has a reduced one...

Deffs.
It's the fastest and the most secure.
You might want to try Chromium though

I don't even save any data in the first place except for extensions.

Neither do I.
I never save passwords.
I often clear my cache.
I have a few bookmarks I never use.
I rarely use addons.
I often delete my history.

Re: I switched from Firefox to Chrome
Personally, I can't imagine using anything but Firefox. even when I use safari at my friend's house its weird. I would probably feel the same way.

Re: I switched from Firefox to Chrome
I use IE.
Haters gonna hate.
And just to let you know, I have windows as well. My computer dosent have 5000000 viruses.
However I do have Chrome and Firefox. K12 is only compatible with Firefox, and I have chrome to use Antidote for the block library.

The only reason I don't like IE is Trident.

It's the rendering engine, which doesn't comply with new web standards.
Microsoft basically said web standards don't comply with their current goals for IE, which makes no sense.

Re: I switched from Firefox to Chrome
I use firefox as it loads up anything nearly instantly and it never crashes (only crashes are related to my computer), chrome is meant to be faster but less stable and I'm perfectly happy with my browser's speed so I'd just be giving up stability.

Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.
