Google Chrome browser
Anyone else trying this out?
Fiddling with it under both Vista and Ubuntu.
Real fast under Vista compared to IE and faster than Firefox.Slightly quicker than FF in Ubuntu.
Bookmarks and search were a little tricky in both OS versions.The Youtube tutorials are a big help.
There's a "stable" version and a Beta for Windows.Beta only in Linux.Either way the Beta works better and has more options than the stable version and I've had no issues using it so far.
Definitely different but worth checking out.

been a chrome guy for non-business apps for several years.
Stuck with Firefox for RH development and IE8 in 'compatibility' mode for Windows work.

I've heard really good things. I think the only reason I haven't moved to it from Firefox is stubbornness.

Installed on day 1 and never looked back.
Every once in a blue moon I have some page rendering issues but it was basically a non-issue for me.

Any reason you're choosing FF over Chrome?
I feel like the only reason I haven't really tried Chrome is familiarity with the little nuances of FF and that I really like the Plug-ins I have.

plugins alone keep me with FF,
you can tweak firefox to exactly how you want your browsing experience to be.
Chrome may get there in time but Firefox is has been used across all platforms for quite some time which should make it the number one browser for website compatability. The only time Firefox doesn't act well is when I'm cruising around Microsoft sites (technet, windows updates, etc) this gets me mad at M$ not FF.

I use it. There are now some extensions for Chrome. That is something new, from what I can see. 
BTW, IMO is is very fast! |
Be encouraging, not discouraging
