Poll: So, I downloaded Google Chrome...

[DustyDrB]

Can you undo closed tabs in Chrome?

I rest my case.

Oh, man. That is such a useful feature of Firefox. I really don't have a clue what Safari (despite me being a Mac) and Chrome have to offer. IE is a pain in the ass that crashes half the time and attracts pop up ads the other half. I can't tell you how many times I close a tab thinking I was done with it, only to quickly change my mind. So I love this in Firefox.

Automatic Word Error Checker WINS!

Chrome is one the fasted browser I've used. Its very simple as you won't have 3 centimeters of your screen filled up with tools i.e IE.

Choose Chrome. Its very fast and simple. And not only the fan-boys ( they have Internet Browser fanboys?) sum it up in a sentence.

I use Chrome because it loads up faster on my laptop. Firefox would take a while to open up, would be laggy on my laptop and frequently crashed. Chrome rarely crashes for me though.

Well I use multiple browsers, mostly just stick to Google Chrome and Flock. Chrome is pretty good though.

I'm tempted to switch off Firefox because it's developed a nasty habit of locking up for several seconds or even crashing lately.

Moved to Chrome from Firefox, it's faster, if problems occur on a page that would normally cause the browser to crash, Chrome contains it on that one tab and let's you know something went wrong rather than curling up and dying, and the beta version has extensions.

Used both - switched from Chrome to Firefox because Chrome kept crashing all the time.

Firefox has crashed three times in four months. Firefox FTW.

Then you are doing something horribly, horribly wrong, or you're talking out of your ass.

Well I use firefox because I like having the nice little image of the fox curled around the earth. But in terms of speed, you really can't tell the difference between the web-browsers so just pick whichever one you like the look of.

Im using chrome and I have ever since the beta release to the public.
I love it and ive never had any problems.
I do use Firefox for web streaming though because not all streaming works with Chrome.

@OP:

Firefox is pwnage - but I prefer the looks and features that chrome has; that firefox lacks.

Such as the very slick and well made UI. Google get's a 10/10 for that. Mozilla get's 5/10.

Only thing that pissed me off about Google Chrome, is that it fucks up sometimes on sites that have a lot of Java or Flash coding in them. And it lacks FTP protocol in earlier versions.

In my opinion:
Google Chrome = 9/10
Mozilla Firefox = 7/10
Netscape = 5/10
Internet Explorer = 1/10 (It gets 1 point for being able to open web pages)

I've been using chrome for quite some time, and I love it

 

[Angerwing]

Alright, I used Firefox for ages, then I switched to Chrome. To me, Firefox is just plain better. The customisation is an enormous tick in the Firefox column.

Despite this, I changed to Chrome because it's lighter and quicker, and I have a shitbox computer, so too many tabs of Firefox and other windows and it lags much quicker than it does with Chrome. That was my main reason. I don't need to do anything tricky, so Chrome is perfectly suited to my needs.

If lag or speed isn't an issue to you or your computer, stay Firefox.

Incognito mode (pushing ctrl+shift+N) opens a new browser window that doesn't save your history.


Chrome ftw. I love how speedy and minimalist it is. When I'm forced to use IE or Firefox on another computer, it just looks so bulky! The addon features are great, and I totally abuse the fact that the address bar is also a search box.

Both are valid for firefox too. And searching using the firefox address bar is much better than in chrome IMO, not only because it attaches site logo, link and url in a single 'section' but because it's a lot more flexible in searching just about any letter or word in the url or site title.

I'm not a Firefox fanboy, I love how little memory Chrome uses and how speedy it is, but it seriously lacks features and tweaks on purpose due to its minimalistic nature.

But what drives me mad is when Chrome gets praised for features browsers had before Chrome even existed...

And I tend to use both Firefox and Chrome.

well that quote fucked up, and,..doesn't bother me, so long as it keeps working, and doesn't interfere with anything else
