I'm now using google chrome as my main browser
« on: August 18, 2009, 12:28:33 PM »
:D

I finally found something to move all my old bookmarks from safari to chrome without any hassle.  it's call transmute and will sync your bookmarks to ANY major browser for free.
http://www.gettransmute.com/
There's no trial, no ads, no please buy our product nags.  it's great and it works you do have to reorganize them a little bit but it's not really a hassle.

Highly recommended  :hifive:

Gone are the days were safari lags on gif images.  I still think safari is a great browser... on a MAC otherwise on windows it's no so great but still way better then internet explorer.

i just went and downloaded google chrome, and my favorite feature is the "incognito mode" thats just so pro.

Anyone who wants Google Chrome for Mac:

This is a developers beta, so there is bound to be bugs.

I actually changed my main browser today, from chrome to Firefox, my main reason being some things weren't campatable, But chrome is very nicely done, but firefox wins me over.

been using chrome from the second it came out and have never looked back.  way faster than any other browser hands down when it comes to my machine at home.  I am not sure on my Lappy since its brand new and IE is still blazing fast, but I suspect the difference is negligible on a more powerful computer. Some features like the bookmarking is a little counter intuitive but it has been doing great in the time i have been running it.  Doesnt give me the twice daily "Program Not Responding" that IE does.

Looking forward to Chrome OS :yess:

I have tried all of them except chrome extensively.  I'm going to use it for a month to see how I like it.  but so far smooth sailing.  It doesn't hang on gif images like safari does.  It's faster then internet explorer.  It "feels" better then firefox.  Firefox looks ugly to me and even if I skin it it doesn't feel the same.

chrome is really awesome but it chokes on gifs. Lack of plugins like adblock turn out to be problematic. So i'm pretty much stuck on ff even though its a pig. Flash blocking makes internet much better on my sucky computer and slow internet.

chrome has adblock but it's called adsweep and it's not as good as adblock but it's better then nothing.  Also chrome is getting extensions soon so we will have adblock.
