So who is using Chrome?

[Jacee]

I use (prefer) IE8 and sometimes I use FF. I've never tried Chrome because of the 'update' .... I update my stuff manually, except for my Antivirus.

Just upgraded to IE8 this afternoon and so far it's quite speedy, just got to get Vista SP2 when it comes down the pipe and I'm all set. Had my Office 2007 SP2 this afternoon as well.

I used to use Maxthon at one time for a while but now just stick with IE and don't see the need to have another browser when this one suits me fine

hi all..

I seem to bounce back and forth between IE8 and Chrome. My biggest complaint with IE8 is it seems to be alot slower then IE7 at times. I think the beta IE8 loads alot faster then what MS decided to put out for upgrade!

I use Chrome, best by far imo, although not perfect... IE has been so slow since 7, 8 just pains me! Never been a fan of FF tbh, too many thing don't render/work correctly.

I am now using IE8 and FFox occasionally.
Not using Chrome but did try it.

I thought you were a huge chrome fan or am I thinking of someone else here? :huh:

EDIT:

Never mind, I was thinking of somebody else

Generally speaking I'm a Firefox kind of guy. I tried Chrome and it's certainly fast but not as many useful functions and add-ons imo.
Also I like the look of FF.
A couple of days ago I discovered Shiretoko 3.1 beta 3 x64 and I'm now using that.
It's early days but my initial impressions are that it's fantastic.

anyone else tried it or have any views?
Best wishes, John

I have used Chrome for 5 months. The 1st thing I do is put the "bookmarks" in a new folder on the left side where we're all used to them. I cannot use any other browser now. I hope they get the plugins soon but I don't even care.....I LOVE Chrome.

Works well for me

I use IE8 when on Seven. I do use Chrome sometimes when working on the main XP machine. I have not tried Chrome on 7 since Feb. I will try it again since the RC. Looks like some favorable reviews on this forum. lm

Really?

Cant say Ive noticed that either.

If anyone reading this is thinking about using Chrome....I have found using the beta 2.0.172.8 is the version i'm using at this time 5-3-09. The "stable" version does not seem to work as well in 7. Try the Chrome beta.

i find even the chorme alpha's to be better (there some good build and some bad ones...
i know...)
than the official chrome release...

+1 for Chrome beta on 7 x64. I do however run Privoxy with it that covers my ad-blocking, script blocking and cookie management, the latter being quite important since Chrome doesn't take cookie privacy very seriously at all.

I think he used it back in the days of FF1 when all pages were only tested on IE5&6...

I had been a avid Fire Fox user for a long time now until the coming of Chrome, Internet Explorer 8, and Safari 4. At first i switched over to Chrome for the lightning fast speed but over time I grew very annoyed at the way it loaded certain pages and went back to FF3. Not until Windows 7 had I switched over to IE8. I was pleased (rather stunned) to see that IE8 was way more responsive then the later versions. Now IE8 is my default browser and I'm very happy with it.

That being said each browser has its own purpose. Its nice to see some healthy competition!

I'm perfectly happy with IE7. (eat yoursef FF fans )
I tried the IE8 beta, but somehow it slowed down my pc ...

I never liked Opera's interface, so I don't use it.
Long time ago (before IE7) I used the Safari and even now I have beta version installed, but I use it very rarely.

And as far the Chrome, I think it's a bad (very bery bad) copy of FF.

But that's just me
