I am so sick of chrome. They screwed over firefox.

I've been waiting for an update for a while now. If Google decided to block their site to people using FF or IE, they'd take over the browser world. I bet it's just a matter of time...

FYI - Google Chrome 1.0 was released almost a month ago... and shed it's beta tag then.

Im still not a big fan of the browser and until it has the addons that firefox has then ff will always be my browser of choice

I'm annoyed that Google always releases Windows versions before Mac and Linux.

I think they are being very foolish: Windows may have larger market share but I think if you look at people who are more apt to influence others, far more will be Mac and Linux users.

By and large the tech community is strongly moving to OS X and Linux. I even see Windows support techs carrying Macbooks - and I don’t mean just the ones who wiped out OS X and put Vista on it.

Google (and anyone else) should develop OS X and Linux versions FIRST. If they did that, they’d undoubtedly see a quicker and higher adoption rate when they did release the Windows version.

"Google admits that progress is lagging behind."

I haven't see Google say that--would you mind point out a source for that? From my perspective they're moving pretty quickly, given they only announced Chrome at all in September.

I think highly of them and the progress they are making.

Plug ins would be a big step in convincing me to adopt Chrome. Still, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And firefox hasn't done me no wrong so far.

Having Chrome for Mac/Linus users is all well and good, but does anybody actually want to use google chrome?

"Having Chrome for Mac/Linus users is all well and good, but does anybody actually want to use google chrome"

Maybe. As much as I love Firefox for its extensions and crash recovery features, it does frequently lock up on me or slow down. I often have to quit out or throw away preferences (Mac OS X) to get it back.

If Chrome had plugins and didn't lockup/slow down, yeah, I'd want it. If Firefox did not have that "restore tabs" feature now, I wouldn't use it because of how often it crashes.

I still don't get Google's incentive with this browser. If they are still funding Mozilla, then why do they continue to make their browser. It will be interesting to see the competition between Chrome and Firefox as Chrome gets further developed.

When Firefox is performing so well, why on earth would I want to change unless there are offerings that are not available in FF?

I wonder when they will add support for Mac and Linux. Chrome seems to target techy people or web developers that are more likely to be using Linux operating systems, so support for Linux is key.

Funny, you mention that Google is 'lagging behind' in this regard. But IE browsers dropped support for Mac a few years ago...

Don't know if this is the place for this, but I wanted to let you guys know that your sidebar isn't loading properly on IE, that's all. :)

Tony Lawrence · 11 months ago

"sidebar isn’t loading properly on IE"

Hardly unusual and it's seldom that there really is anything wrong with the page: it's the Microsoft programmers doing their usual high quality job of paying no attention to standards.

I think more than a few of us are now saying the heck with it - we're no longer bothering to bloat our pages with the extra junk necessary to fix Microsoft's lousy browsers. My site's right hand column "breaks" in IE too and I just don't care anymore: only 31% of my traffic uses IE and it is decreasing all the time. I *could* fix it, but I'm not going to bother. Let Microsoft fix its browsers, I say, and until then those of you who insist on using their junk get a bad experience..

I don't know if this site feels the same way, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I have updated it. The changes are hardly anything that I would have noticed myself...

I agree with Nicole in general terms, FF is great, albeit the current version seems to hog more resources than ever before.

Anyway, I persoanlly am quite a fan of Google Chrome, I personally use Firefox first and foremost but managed to convert my girlfriend to Chrome from IE (she doesn't like Firefox 'cos it's not simple enough).
as for the "not scrolling" problem you mentioned, I've never experienced that myself??

Tony · 11 months ago

I'm quite surprised so far at how well Chrome has been received. Safari and Opera on Windows were not that well received when they first came out. But Chrome seems to be doing not too badly. Probably because Google learned from the mistakes made by those 2 browsers. I've yet to try Chrome, however I'm getting more annoyed at how much resources Firefox uses up so maybe I'll try Chrome 2.0 and see what's it's like. But will Chrome ever take over IE or Firefox? Personally I don't think so, as long as Firefox keeps doing things right.

Wii · 11 months ago

I tried to use chrome when the 1st beta came out but didn't really like it and haven't been ready to try the newer versions yet. I think I may have a dabble with 2.0

Firefox is still the browser of choice for me and the plugins available for it are really good.

in everyday use of chrome, the time they have fixed issues, i already made some connection on this browser, loading fast than other browser.

Google sure ain't resting on their laurels with Chrome. Version 2 already, and with much more to come, that's for sure. I find Chrome very handy as a bare basics, speedy browser but the extra features and functionality definitely will be useful.
