Flash seems to crash fairly often on Chrome for me.

My computer had a terrible virus in January and I had to take it to the computer shop. They told me that Firefox was the absolute worst one to use.

Worst because you had a virus?

I'm using the metro version of internet explorer on my surface pro... and it ROCKS!!!! Otherwise I use chrome exclusively on all other devices (except my windows phone.. then it's IE again

Thus far Chrome seems nice. I want to center bookmarks in bookmarks bar though.

And when I dial in - my Snake game freezes on like the third whirring sound.

IE at work because they government makes me.

Currently using IE 8 on my Windows XP machine for work.


I wish I was joking. At least the laptop itself is brand-spanking new.

firefox.

because no$cript and treestyletabs are not available on chrome.

Also in the process of testing Sleipner because any browser named for Norse mythology must, by definition, rock.

We must work at a similar place.

They recently allowed us to download Chrome saying you could us it to "test how web content looks to external customers". I have nothing to do with our external web but I downloaded it anyway.

One question - I occasionally use it check my gmail etc and log in. Chrome then logs in and syncs browsing history etc. I think it's a great feature except occasionally there may be something there I don't want showing up in my browsing history at work (use your imagination) - any good ways to prevent this?

No$cript is awesome. Once you get it set up the way you want it, it's really really nice..

Skeptical of this...nothing from my experience nor anything I have read would suggest this. Maybe I am a selective reader though because I swear by Firefox!

Chrome, because I love the syncing across machines. At work, I do most browsing on Chrome, but have to use IE for Sharepoint to work right.

Firefox, though I just removed it from my mom's computer because it was causing terrible problems. Not sure if it was a bad install or what, but it would open two or three times and lag to beat hell. Set her up with Chrome and it was fine.

Chrome does have something like it - but it doesn't quite work the same. For me the fact that you cannot get an extension to show tabs down the side rather than across the top is a deal breaker.

No$cript is probably as good at keeping malware off of machines as any antivirus software and everybody should use either it or something that works like it.

Can I get you to tell that to my wife? I have been trying to sell her on No$cript and LastPass for about 2 years now, but I can't seem to get past the "It's too much work" argument.

Well, here are my issues:

1. It's on Firefox. Which I hate.
2. You have incredibly convoluted passwords set up for everything, and you don't know what they are. What do you do when you need to quickly log into something from a machine that isn't yours? The answer is, you make me sign in.

On chrome, their equivalent is "not$cripts"

It's close to a work a like, but not quite the same.

 

[ruxCYtable]

I'm using Netscape Navigator and thinking about taking up Chrome.

Somebody sell me.

Was a long time Firefox user. Their lack of a viable mobile option caused me to switch to Chrome. I liked that I could setup my bookmarks at home and take them with me on my mobile device.

I download firefox every so often trying to like it, but honestly it seems slow compared to chrome.
