    Chrome is okay ... I use it as a secondary browser, but I prefer IE.

    Chrome is one of the best browsers out there. Small, simple, fast and secure! Never ever had a problem as of yet and I have been using it since it was in its first Beta. Won't use anything else. Beats FF, and totally rubs IE into pig muck.

    This :grin:

    I fricken' heart Chrome. I used to be a Firefox user, but Google proceeded to smack in me in the damn mouth. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I canNOT stand Internet Explorer. It uses wayyy too much memory to run (at least in my experience, don't quote me on that), and it always hangs up when you click on stuff. You can't even load a page without waiting for the seventy default toolbars to refresh.

    My numero uno favourite feature from Chrome, though, has to be that each tab is its own process, so I can drag a tab playing some YouTube video into its own window (and snap it to the side) while checking whatever without the video having to reload. FF has the tab-dragging-out feature, but it reloads it.

    Nope. Not on mac.

    Because it doesn't support my keyboard layout nearly as well as Safari does. When it supports my keyboard, then I will use Chrome once again.

    I really love the interface and as theJosephDean mentioned, the tab feature of it is extremely well done.

    However my biggest concern about it was that it was a massive system hog once you started to open up more than a couple of tabs, so I had to change back to Mozilla. However, my computer is really old and crap, but if you have a newer computer, it's fantastic! :grin:

    I love Chrome.

    Now that it has simple add-ons, it's better than Firefox in everyway (in my opinion.)

    I like chrome.
    I understand why people like firefox but it seems bulky and horribly clumsy to me after using chrome for so long.

    I like it, but wish it were less minimalistic.

    Chrome is one of the safest browsers out there, no?
    IE is the most unsafe browser. :l

    I <3 chrome! It's a bit of a minimalistic firefox, without all of the add-ons that I preferred not to have to use.

    Not to mention slowest and most likely to crash.

    Firefox crashes sometimes.

    I have never had Chrome crash on me. The worst problem I've had while on Chrome would be it not remember the tabs I had open when I closed it XD

    I think of IE is leaving your back door open and a sign at the front of the house say "open house". No matter what M$ does it cant seem to fix the bugs. Plus it uses its own web standards thus renders most sites poorly so you dont get much of the functionality of a site.

    I use chrome. The one thing it's missing is proper adblocking, not this load then hide pish.

    edit: i really like the bookmark sync feature as well, keeps all my browsers the same across my computers (cross platform through Mac, Windows and Ubuntu as well)

    Chrome is good, but i still feel more comfortable with firefox as my browser. But anything is better then internet explorer.
