Google Chrome

Is anyone using this?

I tried it when it was first released but thought it looked to "bare" and it seemed about the same speed as Firefox, yet I've started using it again today and it seems lightning fast. It's even got a spell checker to automatically check what your typing into forms like this when replying.

Very nice, check it out.

I tried it a few months ago, and thought it was too bare aswell, I didn't like the position of the tabs either. Since the last update to Firefox though, it's been completely fucked for me. My browser crashes all the time and the speed that Firefox used to run at seems to have been cut. So I've been switching between Chrome and Safari seeing which one I like best, they're about the same.

wasn't really impressed with it back then but yeah they most certainly overhauled it especially the speed very nicely I might add.

chris, im havin nooo bothers with firefox at the min mayb sumthins up, hav u tried lookin for a newer build?

[jitz]

I've tried everything. I have had no problems with the browser till they released v3.5, and that very day I updated, it crashed. I've looked into it on their forums, but it's hard to tell if the crashes people are talking about are the cause of your own. There's so many things it could be like hardware, the Windows 7 RC, any one of the addons I have, or even any combination of the addons. I've uninstalled, installed newer daily builds, they all eventually crash. They don't crash straight away, they can last a week or more, but I've never had any issues with Firefox until 3.5.

Ive had issues with Firefox recently as well with 3.5 it would crash or would just be really slow, the latest update seems to of fixed whatever was wrong though.

Never tried chrome though Firefox is fine for me with the add ons and such, think ill just keeep with Firefox for now.

Chris i'm having the same problems with FF, that's why I checked out Chrome.

The latest update to FF has stopped it happening as much, but I still have pages keep timing out once I open a few tabs. A few people said to uninstall 3.5, reboot and then install 3.0 but i've still got the same problems with it. I'm just gonna try and stick to Chrome until I get my Windows 7 through the post and then i'll retry FF.
