i've moved from internet explorer to mozilla firefox and i've stayed with firefox for a really long time because it's so reliable. but now i've moved onto chrome just to try it out and it's working wonderfully for me. the layout is nice and some of the features come in really handy. however i find that it's still not too popular but people should give it a chance.

I'm currently using it, but with Windows 7 it tends to have quite a bit of bugs. I get a bunch of page crashes. I still like it though.

Agreed. I can't use the internet without having my ads blocked.

scrolling is really crappy on Chrome...I'm so used to the smooth scrolling on FF, if Chrome gets that feature, then it'll probably get a 2nd shot from me
missdevotional
Hmm... I changed from Opera to Google Chrome biggrin.gif
But on Opera, i'm so used to pressing Ctrl+Z to get back tabs and google Chrome doesn't do that xD
When I first got Google Chrome I also got annoyed that I couldn't change the theme colour tongue.gif

But I do love it.
Adionik
I'm way too accustomed to firefox to handle the transition....

I'm just SO loving this, love the layout, clean, sleek and simple.
Although they still have some things that are lacking but they'll improve in the future.
I'm loving it so far, far more than firefox? Hmm.... but i still use both firefox and chrome. Both are good stuffs.

Chrome loads faster than Firefox when you launch it. *grins.
thatguy
chrome looks promising but i really feel no need to switch from firefox to chrome. firefox works perfectly for me so there's no point to switch. plus like someone said, firefox has tons of plugins.
hypnotiC
maybe because i'm really addicted and use to firefox, i don't tend to try new things..
sapphirebluebabii
I have IE && FF only..

btw.. do vids load faster if i use it Chrome ? i dont know if i should try it...

TOPforever

i love chrome; fasterrr;;;; simple
kawaiiulzzang
I like it, used it for about 5 months and it's pretty good!
Pros:
Very fast loading, simple layout
Layout isn't as cluttered like FF
Nicely detailed history ^^
Con:
Heard that Chrome has some issues on online banking and they might get your info.. so just use FF if you're gonna make purchases on the internet with electronic banking/payment.
Took me a while to find the bookmark manager

I think Safari 3 bopped off of Chrome a bit xD
Lavender.Sky
i'm using it right now as i type
it's pretty fast
but its REALLY simple and hwen you right click a picture for ex
it doesn't show you like properties like how firefox does ><
redranger
I use Chrome. At first I didn't like it but it's much more convenient in terms of speed... But there are a lot of bugs that I can't seem to fix. Like Java and logging in to some of my accounts, so I just use Firefox for those. ):
Lovelight
I'm liking Chrome so far. I've only started using it yesterday, but it's very promising. It's so sleek and fast. I was having some problems with Firefox anyway, so I made the switch. Chrome > Firefox > IE wink.gif

The only issue I have with Chrome at the moment is the scrolling; it's not as smooth as Firefox. :T
AiMango
ehh apparently it's faster but I have no problems with Firefox (plus I have all the amazing plugins..) so I dont plan to switch over anytime soon.
cookieXjar
I've been using CHROME ever since my stupid FF crashed on me sad.gif! But back on topic, CHROME is very fast compared too all the browsers.
& for everyone who has scrolling problems, I usually don't have that unless there's madd images on the page i'm viewing, besides that, great -thumbs up- ! oh & almost forgot, I don't think chrome has a WORK offline option, is there? because I'm dying to work offline :/!
XxKhmerBoiXx
I like it but theres only 1 problem for me. It always crashes if there are too many pics on a page sad.gif
hyeminnie
oddly enough, FF crashes more than Chrome for me. i'm only using Chrome because for some reason, FF won't get a connection.

i hate the fact that if i try to double click on a word or line, it freakin highlights the whole page. that and it doesn't have the plugins or the auto fill in FF does.
b.changg
I haven't tried it, im not sure if i look forward to trying it.
FF is.. kind of convenient for me,
all the tabs, the bookmark menu, and the increased performance i went through in the scripting.
:x
kimbomynizzo
I'm a long time firefox user, but I recently converted to Opera. Seems to be alot more faster and safer imo.
radicalCHOPSTIX
i like it and i think it has potential.. but im still using firefox, probably just because of foxmarks & the ability to organize my bookmarks by name lol
NPB-XK
Looks great from my experiments (with my crew)! But still has a lot of things to fix, internally. So I wouldn't use it now but definitely later when it will get better. I believe they will improve it.
Firefox for the moment.
Cheri.B*
I doooo

I like it due to its simplicity and it's faster.
I like that Google search function where you don't have to actually go to Google.
You just type whenever in the box and that TAB function when you are typing the url.

Only think I dislike is loading and looking at hotmails =[
Honey.bee
Ooh, I think I should use this the next time. I'm still using IE.
charlemagne
i love the fact that if i press a letter itll suggest the place i visit most...like for nfl.com i just click n and enter and im there =]
lovechild.
i tried using it on my laptop and it was REALLY slow, even compared to IE

i'll stick with firefox for now =)
my ff add ons have the same features as google chrome

Exactly. If you guys are having IE or FF that keeps crashing and stuff, those problems can be fixed.
But with Chrome, crashing when loading pages that contain a lot of stuff would be Chrome's own problem.
And it can't read certain codes in some websites. More problems.
They try to be too simple and wanting to make things loading too fast. Like as if you wanna put an elephant into a tiny box within few seconds. Crash.
They're on their way to fix those problems.

In terms of security, me and my crew have been working on finding the whole "weak points" of google chrome.
It has some scary weak points, but hopefully nothing compared to an old un-updated IE.
I'd still stick with FF for best security for the moment.
But as I said, I still believe Chrome will improve a lot like crazy.

What I mean by scary weak points, here's an example. An un-updated program (or a new product) can become vulnerable for professional hackers. Pro hackers have been hacking through some un-updated programs such as adobe readers (people always skip those updates) in order to hack their victims. In fact, a program that scans for any weak point possible from another program exists as well so it can ease the tasks for the professional hackers. But I'm not gonna mention about it here. Only in my own website and forum. Anyway, crazy huh? Well we've succeeded against Chrome, still even if they are updated.
More scary weak points. But then again, I'm too advanced. I admit Chrome is very far from being as vulnerable as an old un-updated IE <--- It was so weak, even simple things were easy for rookie-hackers.

i absolutely LOVE it. mainly because of the way it manages memory, nerdy i know sweatingbullets.gif sweatingbullets.gif

but it doesnt get my computer all fired up and stuff like firefox after a couple youtube tabs and facebook
la cabaletta
I love incognito window.
Esp, the delete all history thing is REALLY fast on regular chrome.
Chrome is the best~

Except for when pictures don't show up.
You have to view in new tab instead of "show picture" )x
Hax
I would have switched over a while ago IF there was a gmail plugin for chrome. That's the main thing that keeps me on firefox.
dearme.
biggrin.gif i like chrome because it alerts me when im about to download something dangerous or im about to visit and dangerous site . O__O

virus free ! . ;___; im too cheap for virus protection software so i use what i can. [:

chuchu728
made the switch after seeing my cousin use it and i have to say i loveeeee it<3
i used to love mozilla but it would always crash for me so now its chrome!
charcoalfilter1101
I only use Google Chrome to upload videos to YouTube.

For me, Google Chrome is simple, clean, fast and efficient but I still stick to Mozilla Firefox.
Billie Poynter
Google Chrome takes too long to load. I don't like it.
blue_wishesx3
i made a switch to chrome from firefox, and i love using chrome.
it's alot faster than firefox + i love how simple the browser is.
ninyaah
I like it because it's lightweight and the layout is clean and simple. BUT. I can't live without my Firefox add-ons. So in the end, I still choose Firefox.
strawberry♡

i tried download google chrome.gee..
i don't really like it.it's slow to me and
takes a long time to load.i still love my
firefox.
sugarcrimeSR
I used to hate Google Chrome, but I use it all the time now. I eventually got used to the menu on top and its very nice and clean! Probably the only thing I dont like is that you cant right click on a picture and select "set as background". But is not big deal ^^
bloggerao
firefox is my favourate browser , cause the plugins . =.=||
lolcakes
I made the switch to chrome this week and it seems so much faster to me. I use to have alot of plug ins with firefox but i'm not missing them one bit.
asmiera
