Likwid Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 wrong. the google toolbar is much more than just a search engine. maybe you should have googled it before you posted?Auto fill, password manager, gmail checker, and search engine... problem is, you can get a ton more with FF addons, but I realize that wasn't your point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 wrong. the google toolbar is much more than just a search engine. maybe you should have googled it before you posted?i had to load up the ol IE to see what i was missing out on...google search - address barnews articles - set up a RSS feed in your chrome bookmark toolbar and you're all setbuttons/gadgets - google homepagebookmarks - ctrl + B will show your bookmarksspellchecker - automatic in chrome/FFtranslator - right click over your word of choiceautofill - automatic again in chrome/FFmagic wand thingy - again one of the right click options in chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Just got my computer fixed and was told to use Chrome. So far its fast and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) everytime I use firefox it slows way down on me. and loads pages where some of the words are overlapping etc. it sucks. IE8 seems to work so much better and has a better layout of all the open tabs.and google likes to install hidden background services that can't be stopped from starting. that's why I got rid of the toolbar.I spent about a full 4 hrs trying to get rid of the 4 updater services from my computer that were using up about 8 mb of memory.

chevysoldier Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Bump.I just downloaded Chrome and have to say I am really liking it. It is fast, simple and easy to use. The biggest concern I had was the bookmark quick links at the top, which Chrome has. I use those all the time. Each tab being independent of itself in case of a crash seems like a great idea as well. Oh, and it has an integrated spell checker with IE doesn't (that I know of?) It is nice to be able to post on OR and have it spell check as I type this. I think I am going to stick with Chrome unless something major comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Okay, I downloaded the beta version. It has "extensions". Like an IE compatibility mode, ad blocker like Firefox has. Oh and as for the spell check, it does the little red squiggly like Word does, as you type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) can you print preview with chrome yet? thats ONE of the reasons i went back to firefox....along with not having very many addonsNope, not yet.If you really have to have print preview:(assuming you're running Windoze)- install IE Tab extension for Chrome- on the page you <need> to preview, right-click and use the 'open in IE' function- right-click, Print PreviewThis is really a work-around, as it uses IE to render the page.If you're running Linux (not tested, but I assume it would work, maybe with a little effort): you could install IEs4Linux, which will run IE 5-7 under Wine. Once that's done (easy, btw), you could probably install the IE tab extension and be on your way.

Kahooli Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 That's pretty silly imho... Switch away from IE for obvious reasons just to have to use it for a piece of basic functionality that another browser lacks.==I have an iPhone because it's shiny and it does all this cools stuff... but mine doesn't do video capture so I have to keep a video recorder in my pocket too.== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't do enough direct webpage printing to need a print preview function. Click Print, if it looks bad, cut/paste into gedit, print from there.I agree, though, that it should be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
