    Who here likes the sound of Google's new browser: Chrome ?

    It's going to compete with Firfefox and IE7, though nothing will beat Firefox!

    it's true that so far Chrome doesn't look like a big deal, and FF is king.
    on the other hand these Google guys usually know what they'r doing, so regarding Chrome you never know what's around the corner

    wasn't too bothered when it came out and haven't revisited since. it will take a big effort from google for me to drop firefox.

    Firefox is still the best. If you are tracking your site stats, you can see it that Firefox has the biggest share, at least for me.

    Yeah can't even use my online bank in Chrome, so it must wait. Maybe when it is more mature...

    Little difficult. IE is most common and good too. All the web masters now using Firefox, bcz its also very good and no error on browsing.

    Chrome is hungry for data ... so I tried with a special version.

    Advantage is speed .. rest is not exciting.
    FF is still much more useful.

    the original chrome wasn't that great, but I heard that the newer version was better.

    It's got a much better architecture.

    See: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

    However, Google does have a specific agenda here. If you read the link above, it's clear that they are embarking on a strategy to kill Windows and the desktop. The idea is that the browser becomes the operating system. The Android mobile phones are the trojan horse :)

    It goes so far to kill affiliate marketer tracking cookies that you can't use most sites involving logging in ;)

    I think the new browser will be better than IE and fire fox. Because the programmers have got a lot of experience through these browsers. They know what is the mistakes made in these.

    My stats are still 80% Internet Explorer because I sell non computer related stuff to the public. I see alot of AOL in there too. I even get a couple of WEB TV visits. Remember them? I didn't even know they still existed.

    What I'm saying is, the general public uses IE. Ask your non techie neighbor what Firefox is. They'll think it's a video game or something.

    I love firefox, and I see no reason to ever switch to Chrome.

    Chrome is a very fast browser I like it because of the speed however, it does
    not support all the plugins that firefox supports that's why I prefer to use
    firefox.

    not big deal in this beta released. FF is still the king. but i bet it will improve sooner or later. for one thing i experienced that chrome faster than FF. it looks light and feels light. i like the search function too.
