google chrome

Firefox is still pissing me off. A lot. When I look ... wherever it is that I look it says that I have 3.6 downloaded and am, you know, currently using that version but when I go to places like youtube and twitter they're all, 'Uh, upgrade your browser .. bitch.'

I dunno what the fuck is going on.

So. I downloaded Google Chrome. Not sure how I feel about it just yet but I guess it's all right.

Is anyone else using it? Tell me what you think. What extensions/add ons do you you use? Is there a twitter one that is similar to echofon?

I switched from Firefox to Chrome a few weeks ago and I'm loving the damn thing. I don't have a lot of extensions installed at the moment though. Just adblock and one for my Delicious bookmarks. No idea if there's a Twitter extension out yet, but I don't think so.

I switched from IE to Chrome like...a year ago maybe, and I have such a hardon for it.

Except that it makes formatting entries for LJ even harder than it was before. And some things you can't see or access with Chrome that you could with IE or FF.

So I only keep IE for updating when I need a cut, but other than that, Google Chrome <3

I'm having the same issue, except I'm too stubborn to switch browsers because all the extensions I have on FF would become moot and I use them every day.

I've used Google Chrome for a while now and I like it. I don't know anything about add ons and such. I know you can't add a Farmville Game Bar to it which makes me sad;)

I looooove Google Chrome. FF is so chunky compared to it. I use ChromedBird for twitter extension. I also have AdBlock and that's it. Too many add-ons = clunky browser.

I've used Chromed for a bit and it was alright, only my firewall kept telling me that Chromed had changed even though I'd told it not to self-update and I hadn't updated it manually, and it would try to connect to sites even though no tabs to that site were open. Also, I once started it and my computer went hoshit! and crashed so hard it gave me a blue screen. Which I don't think happened since.. Windows 98 or so. So I uninstalled it.

Firefox can be a right bitch sometimes but there are so many extension I use that I don't think I could do without, I don't think I'm switching anytime soon.

I quite like Google Chrome. I used it for a few years before I switched over to Opera (mostly because it has a shiny bookmarks search feature). The only real issue I ever had with Chrome is that sometimes the sound stops working for the browser, but they might have figured out that kink since I last upgraded it.

OPERA ALL THE WAY.

*coughs*

I tried Chrome and hated it. Opera is much more user-friendly for me.
