My favorite feature is the full screen which I know Firefox has but Chromes is better but thats not enough to turn me to the dark side.

also if you right click anywhere next to the new tab button, it says ‘reopen closed tab’.

Whatever mate your lose! As for copyrights, well open source means (share) as in shareware. The very reason Microsoft has monopolized the PC world and web domination is because they insisted on owning all copy rights. Open source means it doesn’t matter if you are a large web developer or just a personal PC owner wanting to post his own web page, they all get the same advantage. A great advantage, I vote open source everything.

With Firefox you can preview downloading videos with VLC player, not with Chrome. Also, I think the download manager should be in a popup of its own. Maybe I’m just so used to closing all the files quickly without thinking with Firefox because all my download are always on a separate window.

One you can’t knock Firefox three for it’s basic theme, Firefox’s Add-on Page has tons of other themes, if you weren’t so lazy, download a new theme, 2, the pop-up blocker, if it doesn’t work to your satisfaction, download a pop-up blocker from the add-ons. Idiot… and cya

Hihi, if u mean u try google chrome:

Okay, i had been using firefox for a really long time, i love it really. But when google chrome comes out, i thought i should try it. I didnt hav my own laptop at that time n my parents get used to IE, so i had better to choose only one.. finally i chose to install google chrome coz i heard its faster( thats something i want)

i hav been usin google chrome for 3 month approximately, n its fast, especially when u just turn on your computer n just wanna to surf the internet. It doesnt have as many features as firefox, but thats the reason that keeps it simple. One drawback should include the PDF thing(u hav to open Foxit or Adobe to read the PDF after downloadin n saving the document) n the bookmarks arent so convinient. n it doesnt work with youtube sometime(it cant load, u need to press reload, i dont know whether firefox has it or not)
however for the speed, for the simple outlook, personally i think its a good try!

I beleive that Google Chrome is better than firefox. Of course, I have a point to say that from my computer. It is a brand new 2 gig 2007 Vista, but I have dial up. I would prefer Google Chrome if you have a slower computer/internet.

certain things (codes, alignment) on myspace and facebook look differently than ie and firefox, but pictures and text seem smoother on chrome.

I feel chrome is so much faster then firefox. the only downfall that I dislike is the lack of themes, if google had the themes firefox did then it would be better,

I have a 256 MB RAM. And, with anti virus running, I can run only IE or Firefox. Without anti virus everything runs, but, IE is the most stable, Firefox next and Chrome, the least stable.

With FF if I take Gmail or Youtube and open more than 2 tabs the whole memory gets problems and it crashes down. Also, there is this chess website chesscube.com that uses lot of scripts or adobe flash or something. Firefox is fine when just starting but gets stuck over time.

But Chrome doesn’t even allow that everything gets stuck the moment you open a new tab.

So, with very low RAM the most stable browser is IE. But I use Firefox, when I don’t want to view videos or do complex things like commenting here.

Chrome is NOT open source…Therefore I will NOT use it! In fact I will run away as fast as I can! Open source is the way to go there is NO comparison to anything else period!

…and I bet you’re still using MS Windows? LoL!

I’m just a middle aged old fart home computer user so I am not familiar with a lot of the technical stuff, heck I know nothing about add ons & plug ins & stuff like that. I just give things a try & try to remain unbiased & take it for what it’s worth. If I like it & don’t have probs, fine. If I don’t like it or it gives me problems I remove it. I have been using chrome for about 2 months & like it. The one problem I have is it won’t copy certain things from some websites. One example is trying to copy & paste the url code from Youtube, another I had to go back to IE to do was copying a url for a picture on photobucket to use on my blog. I’ve never tried Firefox but am going to download it & give it a go tonight.

I checked out Google Chrome today, and I’m fairly impressed. Granted, this is coming from a guy who gave up Firefox(2.0) for IE7 once IE7pro (http://ie7pro.com/) came to my attention.

Of course, the only things I liked about ie7pro were features like continuous spell-checking, tab recovery (and particularly the feature for reopening the ‘last closed tab’), and the download manager. Of course, these things were all included in Firefox, but I needed to access specific sites that I couldn’t with Firefox (see note below).

In the end, I think Google Chrome wound up having only the features that I was ever interested in anyway… cool :)

* Note: I gave up Firefox 2.0 because it wasn’t loading a few of the financial sites properly. These sites were necessary for me to function (as they are financial), and if I find that Google Chrome has trouble with them, I’ll dump Chrome also and revert back to IE7. The way I see it, one benefit to using IE is that it always displays the sites I access. Granted, this is probably because so many people use it that they’ll kill Microsoft if it doesn’t work the way it should… but that doesn’t mean it’s a great project.

you don’t need 1GB of RAM i only use 512MB and i’ve just got to say Firefox is one of the laggiest browsers when used with add-ons and chrome is much faster on my 512MB RAM system you’re probably using IE because you sound like you don’t know much about firefox

Google chrome may be damn fast in 1 or 2 GB rams. BUt i have only a 256 MB ramm and if i try to open a new page with google chrome, the first page gets stuck.

And i can’t even think of running it along with antivirus.

That just means you still own it if you have a copyright. If you haven’t copyrighted/somehow come to officially own the content you submit to anything in Chrome, Google still owns it. Really glad I did some research, otherwise I probably would have downloaded Chrome in lieu of Firefox.

Okay i like some of Google chrome, like the speed of the search and it simple but For those who watch movie or do video editing on the web I would stick with Firefox.I notice for sites like hulu and other sites that require a applet to run chrome does not want to load. Since Most people watch movies and missed tv show online Google has a long long way to beat firefox. I know google and firefox has a good relationship Maybe they can combine both browsers together:) But in till then I am going to have to go with Firefox

Hey Jeff, I just realized I used the wrong grammar for the word “acknowledge” in the second sentence. What are you going to do about it?
