Yeah, it's quite nice (and fast, webkit is awesome) but has some issues with certain websites. It can't really compete with Firefox 3.5+Adblock Plus (yet).

Hehe, that's what I'm currently using, except the adblock. Might give this one a try anyways. On another note: Post nr.6666. Whoo hoo!

It came out at the end of 2008. ;) It's pretty nice, but I don't like the interface (mainly the bookmark bar).

I really like it, but I just started on Safari and so far, it feels very smooth.

NoScript is the best add-on, AdBlock is second IMO.

Best browser. Been using it since it came out. Fastest, and most reliable. Better than Firefox hands down.

Yeah, it's probably second best to Firefox now. It's a little too bare-bones though

Probably the only drawback is compatibility with some sites. But that'll be fixed. The incognito window is the main reason for the browser though ;)

Hehehe. I can't imagine what else the designers and developers had in mind when they put that feature into the browser you know? Haha.

Yeah, I've been using Chrome for a month or so now. For some reason, Firefox kept getting really slow for me...I'd been using Firefox for years, but I just got fed up with it slowing down...I'm talking dial-up slow. Not sure if it's an isolated problem or not. Anyway, Chrome works great for me. It's streamlined and fast.

Firefox has always had memory leak problems. I just restart Firefox periodically to avoid this. This is one area where Google Chrome definitely has an advantage.

I will stick with Firefox for now but I think Chrome has a lot of potential, it is still on its early stages.

Chrome owns, it gets 100/100 on the acid3 test, firefox gets 71/100, 3.5 gets 91/100. Chrome is way faster than firefox, do the futuremark benchmark test. Also I hate jerks with ad block, it messes with websites like mine which really benefit from the extra money from ads.

Out of the 3 browsers I have used (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome), Google Chrome is definetely my favorite. It has been the fastest brower for me, and I like how the homepage is your internet history. With this, I am able to get to Gamespot or Youtube more easily than before (since I spend most of my internet time on gamepot or Youtube ;)).

I'm on a Mac so I mainly stick to Firefox and Safari. I tried Chrome out once and didn't like it much. Of course there isn't an official Mac version yet so my experience was hindered.

I like it. I downloaded it right when it came out. I still mostly use Firefox, but Chrome is quite simple, clean, and fast. :)

It's very fast, but has some problems every now and then. Probably because it's still in beta stage. Good browser.

Your behind by about 6 months i think Jerell. Anyway i use FF cause chrome dosn't have as many features and the addressbar in FF is seriously good, it always returns the page you wnat no matter what you type in.
