Chrome + IETab Plugin = never having to leave Chrome.

On the sites that don't load properly, I just hit the tab, and there we are. IE inside of Chrome. Been using Chrome since release day, Windows XP and Windows 7 with minor issues.
 
I like Firefox 4 a lot better than Chrome now. I simply don't feel safe with Chrome. It feels like Chrome is a spyware itself.. by Google. Besides, Chrome doesn't render some of the sites correctly. The latest version of Firefox offers way a lot improvements, I'm sticking with it.
 
I use Chrome on my desktop and love it but for some reason when I open it on my laptop the homepage never loads and it says the page is not responsive or something and give me the option to kill the page. Annoying.
A simple reinstall might fix it.
 
Firefox 4
I tried the latest and greatest Chrome for home and work (7, 64b pro on both) and it just wasn't as fast or snappy as fox.

IE9 is better, but it's no fox.
 
has anyone noticed that Firefox 4 is a lot like Chrome?

FF4 copied its design elements from Opera. ;) (We had it for over 6 months+ before FF4 was released)

Opera in my tests is faster than FF4 (by a longshot) And is at the same amount of speed as chrome. (the difference is in fractions of a millisecond)

It has all the features built in which would require FF or chrome to have extensions.
It has turbo, which speeds up the connection if you are on dial-up.
Private Tab browsing so you dont even have to open up a new window. :P
Opera Mail, with simple UI and excellent mail management.
Opera Unite with great server capabilities.
Customization. (you can literally customize EVERYTHING on this browser)
Widgets.
Smooth and minimalistic UI.
Mouse Gestures. (Navigating in other browsers feels slow now...)
Web Panels. (Useful as hell once you start using them lol)
Content blocker. (cant stress this enough, it is epic!)
Built in IRC.
Opera Voice. (for navigation tts etc)
It has all these features, and is still as fast as the fastest around. :cool:
 
Running Chrome on my W7 64bit - No issues, switched from FF because of the speed of chrome and it also supports remote printing off my HD Desire!!

Running FF on my Open Suse box - but will probably switch to chrome on there as well just to keep the browsers synced.

Also noticed FF seems to be getting slower at rendering pages? maybe all the addons.
 
google chrome is the best browser in the internet industry the only thing is lacking of not addons friendly. The only lacking of Addons on chrome is the reason users using Firefox. But now the launch of Mozila firefox 4 it increased its user percentage again. Firefox is also a very nice browser.
