New web browser from google....Great! :)

[ZeOne]

Well, they did it again.

Google just released what is, IMHO, the best browser to date. These guys understand the web like no other company does.

On the tests I did, the javascript engine is even faster than the fastest Safari one, and they use webkit for the rendering as well, so they have a pretty good compliancy.

They also use separate processes for the views and components, and they use a sandbox approach for webpage, which makes it quite a bit harder for a rogue website to hack your computer.

So extremely fast, VERY secure, crash prone and crash recovery, lightweight...Today is a day of rejoice my friends :)

bye bye firefox??

bye bye firefox??

Well, not quite yet because Chrome is still in beta and as such, some sites might not work properly, and it is lacking a few options like print preview...but give it a few months and yes, it is definitely going to be, IMHO, THE browser to beat.

It is amazing how a browser who's development started merely a year ago (and used a lot of open source components) is going to render obsolete browsers that have been on the market for over 12 years.

Google, the next thing...world domination :)

bye bye firefox??BB

I have been exclusive to firefox over the last few years myself....proxi secured, speed, dependability, fun easy stuff.

I have looked at the CHROME software...when it came out a little while back and I have to say that I am impressed with the little perks it has to offer...aside from some of its key and crucial elements such as security, anymousity.....


I will probably make the switch over, once I feel ready.

Chrome is pretty sweet.

However, as stated there are quite a few web applications that struggle on it. A couple I use at work can't function with it properly. For those I have to use firefox.

[BAM]

I tried chrome a while back and it didnt work right with some sites so I went back to Internet explorer.
Even firefox acts goofy wih some sites.

[pinhead]

I am a firefox user. I find it much smoother than IE7.
Anyone using IE8 Beta? Any feedback on it?

[BAM]

Ie8 has the private security browsing like chrome.. and is more stable from what I can tell so far.

[Kronis]

I love chrome and have been using it for a few months.

I honestly can't stand firefox anymore; it takes 10X as long as chrome to boot up and it always has to install updates for all the add-on and then restart. And without the add-ons firefox is really nothing special.
