Other Means Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Anyone had a go of this yet? I'm missing mouse gestures & adblock from FF but everything else I need is there and it's blisteringly fast. Get it here: http://www.google.com/chrome It's good. Could be VERY good. It's all explained in this comic (seriously): http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hehe, another browser to fuxxor with your website. That's your future employment secured. My mouse doesn't scroll the pages. At least, I haven't found a way to make it do that since I only fired it up just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSColonel_131st Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My IE6 was starting to behave weirdly, so I tried FF 3.0 but couldn't get into it after a few days. Chrome I have running now for about half a work day, and I haven't touched IE since. I think I'll install it at home too - just much faster, much cleaner, with some clever additions over IE6 or even IE7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Actually I just started using FF again a few weeks ago. I love it, works much better than its older days. I assume you can easily import all your settings to Chrome? One thing is for sure, I'm never going back to that IE mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarquelne Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's good. Could be VERY good. It's all explained in this comic (seriously): I'm impressed with the comic - very frank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orwell Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Actually, this article in your friendly neighbourhood Register is more disturbing: All your copyright are belong to us. Kinda disturbing, though I really wonder how well that'd hold up in a court. They're also facilitating talks between Iceland and Russia, and are working towards leading Germany to another European war, which will drain the black sea, sink Malta and Wales, as well as part of Cyprus. They also appear to be handing out Soma in the cups of java and Volkswagons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketil Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I recently switched to Opera from Firefox due to Firefox hanging far too frequently if left alone for more than a couple minutes. So far, I am liking Opera a lot better than FF, and I used FF for the past several years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoolaman Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Google is the new Microsoft, only Google is probably collecting more info about you than a MS hater's worst nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Google is the new Microsoft, only Google is probably collecting more info about you than a MS hater's worst nightmare. Erm, I find myself in the surprising position of supporting them. Why exactly are they like Microsoft? Have they produced buggy, insecure software, engaged in anti-competitive practices like bundling with OEMs and locking them into deals, have they undercut a paid for product with a free one to retain market share? Don't forget - MS used to be the techies poster child. It was only after it acted like that, that it was seen as the anti-Christ. ISTM to be tall poppy syndrome; Google are now the most successful company so they're automatically evil. As long as they keep giving me an excellent, free service I find no reason to get the pitchforks out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
