Actually, I’m really asking this question. Does anyone out there use Google Chrome? If so, can you tell me whether or not it’s worth the hype that it has been getting lately? I’ve read a lot of articles that talk about how it is the fastest browser available (beating Apple’s Safari browser). Can anyone verify this for me?
I downloaded Chrome the other day and I’ve been using it here and there and while it definitely loads quicker than Mozilla FireFox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, I’m not sure if it is as durable as those two products – especially FireFox.
I’m not entirely sure if I’m looking to make the switch from using FireFox as my main browser to using Chrome, but if there is a significant, prolonged difference in speed and loading times between the two, then I’d consider it. One of the benefits that FireFox has going for it is that you can add extensions and plug-ins, which is always helpful. Plus, it is completely open source so if you know what you’re doing you can go in and play with the source code (which I tried once).
Anyway, looking for advice. Thanks!
Chrome definitely worth the try. Firefox is versatile. Why not simply use both? Both are free! Another tool that is pretty handy for you is Ti-Took (titook.net), which comes with a secure web browsing tool allowing you to have a private profile, built-in online bookmark and automatic bookmarks import from Firefox and IE. Ti-Took also comes with a built-in web browser (based on Google Chrome).
Thanks, Dave. I did wind up downloading Chrome and using it a little bit. I guess one of my problems is that I don’t like a lot of duplicity so I don’t like the concept of having IE, FireFox, and Chrome to choose from – at some point it becomes excessive and for someone like me, that point is anything other than two browsers.
I have to admit, though, I was impressed with Chrome’s speed.
