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

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.

Firefox opens instantly for me. Your computer must suck.

it takes me a few seconds to open, but yes i like firefox too.

and just so im not a single sided comment right here.

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.

why not IE?

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.

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:35:26 PM »

I like the incognito mode too. It's neat.

H-Sauce · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:40:43 PM »

Yeah, should come in handy.

Shouldn't of said that.

Chrome > All

imo

you can theme Chrome now if you get the Developer version

robin1989 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 18, 2009, 05:35:32 PM »

i havnt tried crome but it sounds good. im guessing incognito is like macs private browsing(or porno browsing depending on how you look at it)

Tri-edge · « **Reply #13 on:** August 18, 2009, 05:56:56 PM »

no it's like tinfoil hat browsing it's the best

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

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.

noah03ark · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2009, 10:16:09 PM »

Windows: Google Chrome

OSX: Firefox (occasionally dev version of Chromium, but wating for full on Google Chrome)

Chrome is amazing

H-Sauce · « **Reply #17 on:** August 19, 2009, 12:30:18 AM »

I just installed it on my windows machine. So much faster than firefox, I wish I had installed it earlier.

And hey noah

what did i tell you, saucy boy? Chrome's awesome

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2009, 02:04:11 AM »

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.

Although dev betas do have their drawbacks...

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #23 on:** August 19, 2009, 03:59:45 PM »

Google chrome is nice but wont work with some things you have install more stuff to make it work, For instance i had to java script to upload images didnt have to do that on firefox but chrome yea.
