Google Chrome - Download a new browser

Very very fast .. nice and empty .. nice and simple ..

Have to say I am very impressed.

Lets you install on restricted work machines too.

I ditched Firefox for this a while back and never looked back.

on the plus side, it's multi threaded with each tab running in it's own process space - if a page crashes, the other tabs are still fine

on the down side, you get google updater processes and services perpetually in the task list :grrr:

As someone who has just ditched IE8 to go for Firefox3.5 could you tell the advantages of Google Chrome over FF?

ChefDude

apart from the isolated page processes i mentioned, chrome is just pain visibly faster at rendering web pages than FF.

Chrome uses webkit, if you can't run webkit or Safari then it's second best.

As said mate its just so much quicker

MrShades

But can you get AdBlock Plus for it? I think not........

....hence I'll stay with FF for the time being thanks.

judgejules

Yeah, probably because it forgets to render half the stuff as it should (read: as expected to be seen by IE+FF, usually involving javascript)

Bro uses it on the other side of the desk, and I use FF. Every time he says some website is "broken" it always works in FF. This is why I'll be holding off on it for a while and sticking with FF even though I have Chrome installed for testing.

I've had no problems. Probably just unorthodox code. There's ideosyncrasies with all browsers, which some web designers accomodate with different code paths. They probably just didn't bother with Chrome at the time.

This. For the brief time I had it installed I was getting ZAP alerts about three times a day that Chrome wanted to do something - even when I wasn't using the -ing thing. Horrible, horrible browser. FF is still G*d.

I just recently downloaded Google Chrome. It is great! It is much faster than the other ones. I still love my Firefox, though.

Google Chrome is here to stay. It's up to third parties, such as those generating your 'zap alerts' to get their finger out.
