Casper Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/I tried it a couple years ago when it was in its infancy and it was horrible. With Firefox starting to get a bit bloated these days it seems, I figured I'd give Chrome another go. Fancy. Who else is using it? Extensions you recommend?

ScubaCinci Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I use FF mostly but have Chrome installed and use it here and there. I don't have many extensions except for a few popular ones like ad blocker etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphy Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 made the switch a little over a year ago when Firefox started the rapid release crap and have been happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 i use it almost a 100% of the time, but a few .mil sites dont like to use anything except IE and sometimes, mozilla.i dont use many extensions, but the one i find handy (most of the time) is ghostery. that's about it though.

TopLeft Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Use it almost 100% at home. No extensions. No issues other than an occasional slow initial launch when PC turned on, but all subsequent tabs and launches run solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) I use it nearly all of the time and have been happy with the choice. I don't tend to use many extensions so cant comment on that. As mentioned there are always a couple pages, usually internal corporate pages, that only like IE but otherwise its what I use.One of the features I started using it for was the online sync of bookmarks and other settings. I have multiple PC with Linux and Windows and its nice that my bookmarks are readily available on all. I think other browsers have also provided this since but it was the primary reason I started using Chrome.Craig Edited October 31, 2012 by CBBaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike884 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I use it 99% of the time and aside from the slow initial launch it has been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienpi Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Ooh shiny! I use chrome all the time, just because when I had a slow computer it was faster. Now that I've upgraded my computer with a new motherboard, processor, case, ram, power supply, extra fans, etc... I just use it because I'm used to it.

ohiomike Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I could hand draw a website faster than IE could display it. Hardly a good baseline for comparison.I stand here befuddled by my inferiority.
