Wow, it's only been available for hours, and everyone is already raving about it!

http://www.google.com/chrome

I can't download it, because it's not available for Mac yet, but I love the security features (constantly updating their list of malicious websites), and that if one tab crashes, it won't crash the entire browser.

So all you Internet Explorer users in particular - try it out - it's much safer than IE!

Darn! I love having numerous browsers to choose from, and wanted to download this one in the English version, but only managed to get the German one. I guess that means I'll stick to Firefox and Opera for the time being.

Another Firefox user here, but I'll be looking out for the Google one.

I've never had any problems with Internet Explorer.
I think I'll stay with a good thing. Why fix what's not broken?

Do you have problems with pop ups, spyware, pages loading slow etc?

I was so excited when I moved to Firefox - it was soooo much better than IE. You should try out Firefox or Chrome - you don't know what you're missing.

No, not really.

I'll probably check Google out, just out of curiousity more than anything.
But I usually don't change things unless I'm having problems.


Does your hubby get a percentage or something if he brings in a new user?

I've downloaded it & am giving it a test run. I dislike Firefox as it's a PITA, but only because my computer seems to hate it.

I'm an Opera devotee, but I'll probably have a look at Google. (I've tried Firefox and would take it over IE in a heartbeat, but still prefer Opera.)

I used IE until about 6 months ago. only reason I left and went to firefox was because of the add-ons that weren't available for IE.

Chrome is nice, I've been using it, but it's got a LONG way to go before I'd consider a change. The Google community is good in that they will quickly develop stuff so it shouldn't be long.

The irony here? people are saying how much better than IE it is, but you watch, 99% of the IE users aren't going anywhere. This will end up eating a big chunk of the FF people, but not IE.

I like the feature where when you open a new tab, it shows pages you've viewed recently.
(I am easily amused)
