Google Chrome?

HO87

I'll happily concede that it is quick but the Google tracking nonsense - from which there is no escape - concerned me somewhat. Much like others FF is a permanent feature though I've been known to dabble with Opera.

Being a vanilla man Chrome is vanilla, Firefox is vanilla with knobs on.

For flash/ java script sites it is really fast.

yes I agree. chrome is getting better and better in fast loading pages.

You mean, apart from going into the preferences and turning it off?

Personally, I think Chrome is superior to Firefox in just about every way.

Why is it that pages load as centred on a Widescreen laptop in IE8 but to the left on Firefox and Google chrome.....this really annoys me as I prefer the IE8 for centre loading the web pages:(

If you don't like the tracking stuffs in Chrome but like everything else, then try Iron

All the extensions etc. for Chrome work with it too.

I put chrome on as my son sugested it was faster - he likes it. I wasn't keen so took it off and then had a problem with hyperlinks. And the superantispyware was behaving oddly.

I installed firefox and let it assume default. This seemed to get rid of all that chrome left behind - then I uninstalled firefox and put IE back as default and all works OK again now. I had to unistall and reinstall superantispyware after it all too.

I wasn't keen on it anyway but even less so now I know it leaves stuff behaind and interferes with other stuff. I am not techy and can do without the hassle.

All just my ho of course.

Have been a Firefox user for many years and it's still on the desktop, but now using chrome on the laptop.

Not noticed a huge difference in performance (chrome is quicker) but as far as I see it, anything that isn't IE is a winner.

Seems much quicker than IE and Firefox to me and now supports bookmark syncing and add-ons which is a plus.

Still use Firefox if a site doesnt work but this is becoming very rare. I hardly ever use IE anymore - its just plain awful compared to Chrome IMHO.

As with everything its all down to personal preference, and mine goes with chrome it does everything I need it do and does it very well, plus lately with things like adblocker and the bookmark syncing makes it much better for me.
FF I do use on occasions, IE is just there so I can manually update windows and that is all it gets used for.

How anyone can put up with the constant "IE has experienced a problem and needs to close" is beyond me lol
