Anyone else out here using Google Chrome? I usually use Firefox, but I decided the give Chrome a try. So far it looks really good. I really like the fact that all the tabs are independent of each other.

It is a little slow and not quite up to par when doing certain things but it's not a bad internet browser all around.

I used it for a couple hours, but got frustrated at the image save system, the tabs, and the lack of a proper homepage.

I use it on my slow comps. On my main one I use my customized Firefox, and its faster than chrome any day.

Who likes "Incognito"?

[bogboogalars]

Yeah that is really cool, but you can replicate it in firefox and pretty much every other browser.

Here's an interesting article on Google Chrome.

It seems that Google may have reverse-engineered Windows to create Chrome. It's not clear yet whether or not Microsoft is going to whine about it.

I'm sticking with FFx just because I like it and I believe the company is doing a better job so far. I've seen nothing too great about chrome.

That and if I were to use it, it'd have to have a good FFx importer for the bookmarks and cookies. Transfering all those passwords wouldn't be fun.

I've been using it since I DL'ed it a few weeks ago. I'm using it now as a matter of fact. Its OK, I've noticed some things about speed and websites but other than some speed and connectivity issues, I like it. You can import all your bookmarks from your MAIN browser only. I forget if it transfers your passwords or not, but it saves them and your username for convenient use later on.

So set your default browser to the one that you use more often, and problem solved.

I read an article about it, saying that it is based on similar coding to Safari, meaning it's supposed to be really fast. Apparently that's not the case. Our networking teacher says it keeps freezing up her computers, so she won't let us use it, but I've never heard of this occurring anywhere else. It's a good browser all around, but I think I'll stick to Firefox 3.

Ya the best thing you can do right now is wait. Since its still in the beta phase of development its lacking in features. Buts its still a fun thing none the less. Oh and incognito mode FTW! I think its faster than my FF, but thats IMO.

Off topic, but what does FTW!! mean?

[aetherguy881]

Yeah, I know it's a beta. Things can go wrong in them, then you get used to them and then they change. Like the new Facebook...

FTW is leetspeak/aimstyle/etc. for "For The Win," the Code of Conduct frowns upon that. I prefer "Fut the wuck?"

[nerfsharpie6]

I've never used facebook, and never will. It took me like two years just to get a myspace.

Right now the connectivity is getting on my nerves. But it loads everything all fast, its a love hate thing.

I liked it, but it took up to much space on my computer. I t was also a tad slow. Plus I just like Firefox better.
