- ninjagames, on 12/02/2008, -1/+61good! that's the main reason why I chose not to go with chrome and stay with firefox
- grungegbunny, on 12/02/2008, -1/+37The google browser will block ads on google? Hmm.. I wonder.
- jdmulloy, on 12/02/2008, -7/+32How about Linux Support? When can we get that?
- morninglorii, on 12/02/2008, -0/+18If Google is seriously willing to provide the machinery to facilitate the blocking of their main source of revenue, then I am in awe.
- kenism, on 12/02/2008, -0/+14Chrome should have debut with customizations available. Customization is probably still the main reason Firefox keeps gaining ground.
- MattBD, on 12/02/2008, -1/+13I don't find that Adblock blocks Google's ads. I find that it only blocks banner ads and some images, which is fine for me. I don't mind Google's ads as they're generally pretty unobtrusive. The ones I have a problem with are pop-ups and banner ads.
- Roundbadge, on 12/02/2008, -5/+13Make that "How about Linux and Mac support? When can we get that?" - and you get my digg.
- saadkamal, on 12/02/2008, -5/+13Yeah me 2. I loved chrome. But it couldnt provide me the things that I needed - Digg Toolbar, SU toolbar, my FF add-ons and not even the Google toolbar which has all my bookmarks!
But I'm happy that this is happening! - Shinji22, on 12/02/2008, -2/+10Chrome is good ^^
but flash video support is bad
waiting for a fix - ZackScott, on 12/02/2008, -1/+8Waiting for a Google mp3 player. Songbird isn't ready, and although iTunes is good enough for now, I really want something more. iTunes has problems I don't anticipate Apple fixing.
- Romanito, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7I doubt google will make an adblock extension themselves, but they say they will support it, which is a pretty big deal.
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-document ... - Mohdoo, on 12/02/2008, -3/+9Once I get the addons that I want, I won't be able to resist the speed of Chrome. It is noticeably snappier than FF3 for me. But without addons...Useless :/
- cyrix, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6Only a ton of digg users....hence why it's on the frontpage. You must be new to digg...
- CitizenKamb, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6Now lets get some "cloud browsing"... google bookmarks downloaded and saved per session, extensions following you from computer to computer, settings just the way you like them... Opera does it, why doesn't Google?
- morphinapg, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6does for me
- halo3d, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6download it all
adblock
fast video download
and more - Moskie, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5I still use Winamp. I don't get why it's disrespected so much... It's been the best experience for managing and playing my audio files and podcasts on the PC for me. Also works well with my iPod Classic. Am I missing something? Is it just the fact that you can buy stuff with iTunes? I prefer Amazon's mp3s, so that hasn't been a problem for me.
- grungegbunny, on 12/02/2008, -1/+6I 2nd that.
- bob_the_alien, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5I really wish they'd fix the cpu hog problem with Itunes. I keep Itunes running for long periods of time, and after awhile, it will begin to use almost all my cpu. I thought maybe it was a problem just on my desktop, but it does the same thing on my Laptop. so it's just a problem with Itunes on windows. And it really sucks, you'll be listening to music, then all of a sudden skipping and, and a few times, cuzed lock ups.
- bob_the_alien, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5Yeah, by the time the 3rd update was released, Flash was fully functional.
It had major problems for the first 2 updates, but they got on that fairly fast. - inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4"Hell, Its about time" - Duke
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -1/+5Glad Chrome is doing this for the same reason - but IE8 is also doing this; although it's extensions are very lame so far.
- megamod, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Matt...you have no idea how big of an umbrella ad corporation google ads is.
- s34mu5, on 12/02/2008, -1/+5yeh same here, wtf is with the massive blue bar at the top that you can't change the colour off!
I LOVE SKINSSSSSSSSS
oh and if you say you can change it with a cfg mod, i tried and tried it didn't work on the newest version :(
Firefox FTW - Jektal, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Probably not the same people, Google is a big company.
- damack, on 12/02/2008, -2/+6This is great news Chrome was great but it lacked customization which is kind of anti-Google since their known for being a consumer friendly company not one that stifles creativity.
- Lorddias, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4I'd use Chrome, but there are addons for Firefox I simply cannot live without. Adblock being one of them.
- mdoom, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4which version are you using of chrome? At the very beginning i had problems with flash, but all were resolved for me at least quite some time ago.
- mdoom, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4sorry missed the edit time limit, its on version 0.4.154.29 now, and i believe this version is the latest public release, and not just one on the Dev channel.
as far as versions on the dev channel, this is the 12th one I think. So they are updating quickly. I think this will lead to a lot of the features people desire. - inactive, on 12/02/2008, -4/+8just wait for FF3.1, basically the speed of chrome + all of the addons ff has to offer.
- Cerebron, on 12/02/2008, -1/+5Chrome is very nice with Aero Glass.
- digliberty, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3finally!
- BBrains, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3I can't use Chrome w/o RSS feed support. Love it, but can't use it.
- Culyt, on 12/02/2008, -1/+4The Linux version is coming along, if I recall correctly, it now renders the Google home page. Still some ways of being usable though.
My main concern is if chrome's extensions will be cross platform like Firefox's ones are, although it would also be nice to be able to program them in something other than javascript or other scriping language.
llvm would be a ***** fantastic solution since anyone can program in any language, it should be fairly cross platform and it can be sand boxed for security. It would a;sp be important to keep the code for extensions in raw source format for security and opensource goodness, although it would help with the cross platformness.
☢ - MattBD, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3It needs the DownThemAll extension - I love that in Firefox.
- 0xABADC0DA, on 12/02/2008, -1/+4One reason firefox isn't the snappiest is because the UI is javascript, but that's also one of the main reasons why extensions can do so many cool things. Chrome has a conventional programmed UI which is why it feels snappier, but once they add extensions it's going to bog down with complexity and slow communication between tabs (in their separate processes). For me firefox is plenty fast and plenty extensible. I just don't see how Chrome can compete with it.
- quaunaut, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3Why does it have to bog down in complexity? Intelligently designed addons in a non-Javascript architecture could do just as well. And regardless, that isn't even the biggest reason for Firefox's slowness- its just the pure bloat. The browser should have stayed 1.0, and only moved up for major revisions that change addon requirements or significant speed or code changes. Adding features that addons were doing for it often enough wasn't the way- let alone the fact that the Firefox addon architecture isn't as fully customizable as people think.
- RyanWilliams, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3Yeah, the Chrome experience is considerably better with Vista as it inherits all your Aero colour settings and such like it should. Shame Google didn't see fit to put the same effort into their XP version.
- Linh, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3I'd like to see them start looking at enterprise support. I'd like to be able to deploy this across our network, and keep it up to date in the same manner. AND keep users from installing extensions, or being able to limit that. Hell, I'd like to see this from FF
- quato, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3I look forward to the near future of the battle of the freeware browsers, where firefox and chrome have 90% of the shared market and IE is struggling for 10% share as it should be. That said when Google has half the applications that firefox has I will be converted.
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3screw you guys you don't use IE so we don't give a *****
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3Us macs already have our Stainless which is pretty neat too!
http://digg.com/apple/Stainless_Google_Chrome_s_Ma ... - RandomSkratch, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Not sure why you got dugg down but I'm almost of the same opinion. I loved Firefox and yes had a nice share of plugins but since Chrome was released, I haven't gone back to Firefox. Yes I'll admit, I miss ad-block and sometimes webpages just don't load right with Chrome but I feel that Google has done a superb job.
Bells and whistles are great for some but I much prefer the minimal look and simplicity of Chrome. The only add-ons for FF that I used were:
Ad-Block
Canadian English Dictionary
CustomizeGoogle (for removal of ads and switching to https)
Define Word
Google Redesigned (I like the Google Themes better)
IE View
Stylish
For now, it's Chrome for me. - Jektal, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Doesn't happen to me... I'm not running the latest version though, I think I'm still on 7.x because Apple is retarded and a) locks out WinXP 64-bit, b) doesn't let you choose your own install version
- sockpuppets, on 12/02/2008, -1/+3Ever since I plugged firefox into chrome it's been running great.
- clockdist, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2I love chrome. I've been using it since its release, despite the lack of extensions. Probably because I get me extensions back when using the Mac w/ FF.
Chrome w/ extensions for Mac, FTW! - LilRabbitFooFoo, on 12/02/2008, -2/+4You choose your kernel, now recompile in it.
- davebo27, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2if you want adblock for chrome just use privoxy.
instructions here:

- franklymister, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2When adblock and gestures come to Chrome, Firefox will be dead to me. Can't wait.
