Is anyone trying Google's new web browser.

It's nice. Pages load much faster than FF.

No crashes yet, but I've only had it going for a little while.

All the sites I visit, including this one, look fine.

Beta still - right?

I'm gonna wait to see if there are any major bugs.

Absolutely. But sometimes you've got to be reckless!!

I'm trying it now in addition to my firefox

I didn't know Google had a new browser. How did that one get past me?

I gave it a shot. For a beta, its interesting. Probably check out the RTM version but 2 browsers and 3 OS's are enough for me.

Wow - this is pretty cool for a 1st release. One nice feature is dragging a tab outside the browser and another browser window is created.

I absolutely LOVE Chrome. I have to use IE at work (our email client doesn't load properly in other browsers), but I use Chrome for my own browsing at work, and for everything at home. I feel like I come across new little features every day. I'm totally a Google groupie.

At work I use 3 browsers:

IE for site testing (we only support our app on IE) I hate every second of that junky browser.

Firefox for debuging (the javascript console and development addons make my life wonderful)

Chrome for my general browsing since Firefox with all my addons for development really bogs it down.

At home I'm all Firefox all the time.

Yeah - Firefox all the way baby. I have to use IE at the new job - and it's version 6 (UGH)! They have computers at work here that were built before my kids were born. LOL! I still need to try out Chrome sometime.

Used IE for as long as I can remember and never have an issue..

KingIsaacLinksr · March 01, 2010, 02:54:21 PM

Heard about it, haven't switched/tested, just no interest, but maybe sometime this week I'll give it a try...

Firefox all the way, IE sucks too much.

I use Chrome almost exclusively these days. I have found it to be fast, uncluttered - and now that Google worked in synchronization of favorites between PC's - I couldn't be happier.
Search is integrated into the address field - this has really spoiled me.

Hmmm. Never tried it.

I've been a slow convert to Firefox and the movement has stopped there. If it works 'enough', I'm not particularly motivated to change.

(IE6 here at work)
