Have tried Explorer, Firefox, Opera and off late Chrome. FF has been default browser, though. I am happy with FF and continue to be with it.

I stick with FF as well. I like many of the Chrome’s feature’s but it still has a long way to go to catch up with FF, as Mozilla is not sleeping as well.

Excellent point!… I agree, Google Chrome has no excuse for being a new comer and should be compraed to Firefox in its current state. I suppose it might get some updates over time but so is Firefox.

This is in response to the last comment about Google Chrome being in beta and as such shouldn’t be compared to other browsers. I hate to say it, but Google Chrome has every bit as much reason to be respected as a serious browser worthy of comparison and critique for many reasons.

First, let’s take a look at the beta aspect. It’s safe to say that everything Google does is in beta for years. This creates a safety cushion for Google in the event something does go wrong. Google mail for example had that beta tag for many years.

Second, Google is staffed with a group of the most elite programmers in the industry. They are the company people work towards being hired by, and they do not let up for even a moment on their attempts to draw in the best of the best pays off in a lot of cases. There is no denying the brilliance of Google’s staff and their extreme attention to quality. A release made by this company should be taken quite seriously.

This brings me to the third point. Google has advertised this browser to millions of people on their main site. They are pushing this browser out to everyone and anyone using their website and that makes this an instant competitor to Firefox and IE in terms of market share. Because of this, Google Chrome needs to be compared if even for the simple fact of giving everyday users the ability to learn exactly what they are getting in to when they download this infant browser.

First of all, Google Chrome Beta (yes, it’s still in beta) which was released not long ago should not be compared with any browser because it has been released for a short while and this is there first browser and it’s just a Beta (not the completed version) unlike Firefox, and yet it still manages to challenge Firefox. Wait until Google releases 1-3 more updates/upgrades/newer versions to Google chrome and then try it again and most of you would like it (or since i’m now posting this, try the latest version of Google Chrome) but if you want add-ons/extensions that don’t slow down your browser or cause other issues like with Firefox, give Google 5 months – 1 year. Also, Google Chrome, believe it or not, is much faster, has a cleaner interface, uses less memory, crashes less than Firefox (with me) and is more secure and Google releases 10-30 nightly builds of Google Chrome everyday and also has a Developers/Testers channel which has newer versions of Google Chrome every 1-2 weeks (with a change log and new features etc) which are tested before they are publicly released.

well, where to start. First Firefox is approximately 1,000,000,000 times BETTER THAN CHROME!!!!!!!
Firefox may use more memory, but that is because you can do so much more with it so much safer. I installed Chrome 2 weeks after it was released, giving google plenty of time fix all of the most common errors with their first release. When i ran it it wouldn’t let me visit a lot of web pages, and then it would crash, again and again. Then when i tried to go back to firefox, all of a sudden firefox starts crashing like crazy. The only thing I can say was good about Chrome is that google made it very easy to uninstall, literally took seconds, which shows how little there was to Chrome in the first place!

Although Firefox stays as my default browser, I find myself using Chrome more and more these days. It’s very fast but I miss the extensions of firefox.

People please!. Chrome is just no match for Firefox. I don’t even know where to start. It’s just insane!! Google is great…I give you that. Chrome is not bad. But there are many many many many!!, reasons why we should not even compare them.Firefox is way, ahead.

I have tried Chrome and I like the way it shows my most visited site that was until I found Fast Dail for Firefox. Chrome is a little buggy when it comes to video watching. So I am staying with Firefox.

I tried Chrome and I really loved it, but as Im using Ubuntu/Linux I’m still using FF and cudnt switch over to Chrome. Once Chrome supports multi OS with extensions I will fully make use of GChrome!

“…if they can do for the browser what they did for email

Unlike it was with email the browser field already got a really good browser, that is Firefox. So it’s going to be a lot harder for them to replicae the success of Gmail.

I’ve switched to Chrome as my default browser for normal use. I still use Firefox for its better handling of downloads though, and as a 3rd route for sites that don’t like either FF or Chrome I use IE8 beta 2.

As much as I like Google’s Products I am going to have to stick with Firefox on this one or atleast until Google Chrome supports extenstions and or plugins like Firefox does. I really like Chrome, It really isnt all that bad. It is nice and has a great feel to it, also its very fast. And I liked that when I installed Google Chrome, It imported all my bookmarks and a few settings from Firefox into Chrome, That was a really nice feature! Also, Why did I call it “Chrome?” o_O

I voted other because I’m using both for now. prefer FF for now ’til chrome evolves. i really like the chrome incognito mode so i can read two gmail accts at once.

I won’t be using Chrome anytime soon, considering the fact that I have every useful feature of Chrome by using Firefox extensions. Maybe Version 2.0 Mister Chrome.
