Has anyone else tried Google Chrome yet? I'm just now using it and I've got mixed feelings about it. I really like it's speed. It's minimalist appearance will take some getting used to.

Is it just me or is it a little quirky acting when you try to post & backspace or insert something?

my dumbass has no idea what the heck it is!

Mrs Z used to work for Microsoft,
and I have been a Microsoft stockholder for a long time.

Google doesn't do much for me ,
but I may try Chrome out of curiosity once it is out of beta testing

I am waiting to hear how it goes .... I am still using explorer.

Been trying it out this week. Yep, love the speed. But I also noticed the posting quirks in forums, especially when you try to insert something. Beta issues, I guess. Also tried to open a local file on my computer, didn't see a "file...open" option anywhere yet. Some right click/left click options are a little funky right now, too. I love the Firefox extensions, I've read that down the line Chrome will have those.

I used to use explorer until 7 came out and it was so dadgum awful and un-supportative of some of the newer graphics. I then switched to firefox.

I'm a firefox user too however lately I'm having speed issues with it. I think I just need to take my notebook in to someone and have it looked at.

Don't wait too long. The best email program out there is Gmail, and that is still in"beta testing" (3 years now). Google is likely to leave that "beta testing" tag on Chrome for 1 or 2 years also.

I like it, don't hate it. I love the larger viewing area. I really like mozilla. I use it an hour or two each day. Getting used to it. There are beta bugs. Hard to let go of mozilla. MS and its IE can bite me. Tired of MS partnered sites purposely not working well with mozilla.

One feature that I thought was neat -- when you open a new tab, it shows small screenshots of all the pages in your recent history. Paste and Go is a nice option when you paste a url into the address bar. Don't think it handles multiple home pages though, I really like that in Firefox.


...and Gmail is freaking awesome, surfpirate. I haven't deleted an email in 3 years.

Using Firefox on a Mac...
I'm sure they'll take their sweet time launching a version for Mac

won't know until the mac version comes out....

Never heard of it, maybe I'll try it sometime, but right now I like my Firefox
