- CrudE, on 10/05/2008, -11/+129I like Chrome alot, but I still find myself using Firefox mostly all the time.
- AdInventive, on 10/05/2008, -22/+133I am still using it. I enjoy it's simplicity.
- BlaqReaper, on 10/05/2008, -6/+95Google Chrome would have a lot more users if they fixed the flash problems and add in plug-ins/add-ins such as adblocker.
- Chainheart2, on 10/05/2008, -8/+65It's = it is
- Seann7656, on 10/05/2008, -1/+57I once caught my roomate using it
...True story - MasonZombie, on 10/05/2008, -6/+45It's been a month!? Whoa...
- CrudE, on 10/05/2008, -4/+33Chrome does have a lot of potential though.
- Axim, on 10/05/2008, -0/+19fortunately chrome uses safari's webkit and not the IE engine so that may be where your sharepoint trouble lies.
part of microsoft's strategy is to lock their software into IE so it's really not google's fault that they are are ridiculous when it comes to interoperability.. - dagr8tim, on 10/05/2008, -2/+21No offense, but that sounds like SharePoint is the problem, not Chrome. Or atleast that's been my personal experience with SharePoint.
- Pinkertinkle, on 10/05/2008, -8/+26It'll never work because google as an advertising company cannot allow adblock
- SpideR87, on 10/05/2008, -3/+18Who's using IE? Tell me.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -5/+19adblock thats my main hold up
- Farik, on 10/05/2008, -1/+15It feels like almost 4 weeks ago!
- Mononuclear, on 10/05/2008, -1/+14google doesn't use IE as the engine...
- hugolp, on 10/05/2008, -1/+13Do you understand what open source means?
- iamdanielj, on 10/05/2008, -2/+13Plugins and Addins are said to be coming. However google has stated that this might kill one of the main draw of the browser, the fact that every tab is a seperate proccess, and therfore are completely seperate.
Plugins are apparently gonna end this. - BodomX, on 10/05/2008, -2/+13The whole thing? :|
- Awspire, on 10/05/2008, -7/+18The only good thing about Chrome is its near instant on startup. Other than that I find it extremely limited and broken in some areas.
Copy and pasting text is a crapshoot on whether or not it will work. Spell check is horrible. No word search, or at least I can't find it. Text highlight selection is horrible. No drop down URL locations. No toolbars, no addons. Ya it might be beta, but it still sucks and has a looong way to go to be a competitor. - UberNick, on 10/05/2008, -0/+10i can just imagine your surprise when "poop fetish" comes up during a work presentation
- psykiv, on 10/05/2008, -1/+11I'd say roughly 80% of the internet?
- mdoom, on 10/05/2008, -1/+10Im glad to hear that! For awhile now, since Chrome has been off the radar i thought I was alone. I love chrome, and in fact most things Google.
Sure its not perfect, but for being actually ONLY a month old, its quite powerful. Maybe some of you remember the days of Firefox before 1.0 came out, or even with just 1.0, it was really good, but it had a long ways to go (and has gone a long ways since!)
But for now I do like Chrome a lot, and I use is exclusively, I look forward to its future. - NikoKun, on 10/05/2008, -3/+11The Chrome logo looks like a Simon Says.
- snapplecap, on 10/05/2008, -4/+12I agree. without the extensions there I don't like it as much.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -0/+7Well i don't use it that much but i got my friend to finally move away from IE. So i am Happy. As long as anything that chips away at IE's Market share, i will be happy.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/05/2008, -1/+7Let the plugins run in those separate threads too. If they can do it with Flash, why not with anything else by default.
Honestly, we all only want AdBlock. Everything else I can live without.
But I REALLY like everything else about Chrome, ESPECIALLY the "tabs as separate processes". It rocks. - thebassmaster, on 10/05/2008, -1/+7What? Most of Google's products were released in beta - even Gmail is still officially in beta testing!!!
- Ebel3003, on 10/05/2008, -0/+6I could have sworn it was released just a couple weeks ago.
- Zephik, on 10/05/2008, -0/+6Do what? All they would be doing is making Google Chrome Plugin/add-on friendly. They don't make the Plugins and Add-ons, third parties do.
But then again, they aren't stupid, they know a good deal of their user base would install some form of Ad-Block.
Anyways, their ads are all over the internet no matter what browser you use, so I don't think they would be hurting themselves too much by allowing the ability to have Ad-Block with Chrome. There are enough people still using browsers like IE for them to stay fat and happy with hits to their ads. I don't even think the majority of Firefox users use Ad-Block, just a good chunk of them. - Seann7656, on 10/05/2008, -3/+9I stopped using Chrome because all videos played so damn choppy...
- colincornaby, on 10/05/2008, -0/+5Safari nightlies are faster, use WebKit, and work on the Mac. What's not to love? :)
- frieddonuts, on 10/05/2008, -5/+10I use it when Opera chokes on something, because it opens quickly and is very good at quickly rendering sites like Digg. I found that it isn't as lightweight as Google would have you think- huge amounts of memory usage.
Another interesting thing I learned is that suggestions are not turned off when you're in "incognito mode." So results from those sessions start popping up even when you've left that mode : ( - Farik, on 10/05/2008, -0/+5Firefox has similar problems unless using IE Tab (for me at least) so at work I just switch between the two. Would be great to see an IE rendering plug-in.
- DreamSynthesis, on 10/05/2008, -1/+5The google update application that it installs without permission into a hidden directory that constantly runs a process was a huge turn off for me. Not to mention that it doesn't uninstall when chrome is uninstalled resulting in it just hanging around.
- ndngoat, on 10/05/2008, -1/+5I find it useful on occasions. In school, I get slowass connection so I use Chrome. Also it helps when you need to find out something fast like a bus schedule instead of waiting for firefox to load (although when I use Linux, it starts up pretty damn fast). And lets not forget porn mode, no more suspicious empty web history for me.
- benitojuarez, on 10/05/2008, -7/+11OX X huh?
- ladyattis, on 10/05/2008, -2/+6I'm glad to see the browser user space is becoming more heterogeneous as the smaller shares of browsers are growing, this should spur more growth in improvements among the browsers (hopefully). :)
- tm13lke, on 10/05/2008, -6/+10I agree. I would probably use Chrome if it had adblock and my woot addon :D
- Awspire, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4Ohhhp! Strike my no text find comment, I actually found it in the page icon menu, or pressing Ctrl-F.
- MAGZine, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4crtl+F, just like in every other browser.
Copy/paste always works for me.
Text highlighting hasn't been an issue, and strike a letter in the omnibar, and it drops down and suggests stuff. Holy crap batman.
It has a toolbar (the omnibar is part of it) and addons are coming. - MacroDaemon, on 10/05/2008, -4/+8The chrome logo is the offspring of a pokeball mating with simon says.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -1/+52+2=4! :D
- gamepr0, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4awesome, if only microsoft could share those updates with the rest of the world.
- Reaktor5, on 10/05/2008, -3/+6I love how great it works on my Mac.....
.. oh wait. - LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3Someone will release a Chrome+...or maybe it should be called Chrome- (minus ads). :)
- toejamz, on 10/05/2008, -2/+5Chrome Linux Support? OSX support?
Geez, that makes it awful hard for me to use Chrome since 90% of my computing is one one of these two...
Tried it on a Windows system, and it was nice, but not religious. If it was X-platform, I'd give it a careful review. But no Linux/Mac support = nonstarter. Worse, it doesn't look like Mac/Linux support is coming any time soon.
Go Firefox! - Lloydinator, on 10/05/2008, -1/+4For a guy who surfs behind a university firewall, Firefox proxy addons make Firefox the first and foremost.
- Mononuclear, on 10/05/2008, -1/+4Why would it end it? Google already has separate process information for plugins such as Flash. I don't see any reason why they would have to give up the every tab as a separate process thing to make have plugins..
- mrm3x1can, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3ok....
- hugolp, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3@Pinkertinkle you have been too long using software that ties you to the company that developed it and doesnt allow the user to choose what he prefers...
