Title: Browser Question?
Post by: matrix2003 on September 05, 2010, 11:52:11 AM
Have you tried Chrome lately?   I am a die-hard Mozilla Firefox guy, so I have never really messed with IE browser at all.  I downloaded Chrome for probably the third time now, just to take it for a spin, and this time I was really impressed.  Quite snappy and there are some demo sites that have some impressive visuals that require Chrome.  My artsy son dumped Mozilla as soon as he found Chrome as well.  Just import your bookmarks and the change is seamless.

I love chrome.  I used to love Firefox and all... but its just been getting so bloated it seems. 

May I also point you towards https://chrome.google.com/extensions
Has many extensions that some people miss from firefox --- such as adblock ;)

I also enjoy speed dial as I use the "new tab" page as my home page also.  Makes it easy to surf around just with mouse.

Thanks for the link. Installed a couple just now, and I am still very impressed.  Never thought Mozilla could be topped.  :o

I used Firefox for years but now i am using Chrome for the last 5 months.
no problem except on one or two website.
but it is faster on my computer and ... well i am not an anti-google so... the few tools are cool for me.

I've used Chrome since near the start of its release, I think it's great, straight to the point and no messing about.

And, Franck, I do remember some ridicule from you about this! 'You use Google Chrome?!' :D ;)

Must've been an easy convert.  LOL. Die hard IE users are easy to convert when you show them how retarded their browser is.

yes, i did try it when Chrome start... and I didn't like it because I had many problems with several websites (my two websites included) like Youtube, Dailymotion or Flickr (still have some problem on Flickr though) ^^^

in france we say "Only stupid people never change their mind" ;)

I must be lucky, I've never had any issue on any sites I visit.
