:waiting:

I gave up on FF a few months ago and use Chrome for everything except porn. :D

It takes getting used to but it's seemed a lot quicker than FF.
If you have a lot of widgets and add-ons you won't be able to get them with Chrome.
That's what took some getting used to for me.

Good Luck FD.

:D

Download and try it. See if you like it.
If you don't just uninstall it as it won't do any harm.

Same. It does what I want when want it to, haven't had a single solitary infection of mal/spy/virus since I went to FF with couple add-ons, though that might also have been helped by switching to TBLOP for all my porn about the same time.

I use FF 3.x because all of the plug-ins I use are compatible with it.

FF + NoScript + Adblock Plus = FTW! :yesnod:

:yesnod:...:iagree:

When I switched originally the speed of Chrome was a huge reason. FF has pretty much caught up speed wise.

But memory usage keeps me using Chrome. I typically had to kill FF a couple of times a week because the computer would get slow and FF was eating up all of the memory.

With Chrome each tab is a separate process. If a tab starts eating memory, close the tab.

(I think FF may have moved to a similar model, but I'm not positive)

Liking Chrome so far. I guess I'll keep FF around at least another week or two just in case.

I run firefox. Think this is why my computer temp regularly runs in the mid-80s?

I still use FF because of the plug-ins. I tried d/ling Chrome a week or two ago and kept getting install errors, so I said F it.

I loaded Chrome but don't like not having the drop down history next to the bookmark star. Not sure how to get it to work in Chrome. Still using FF until I can figure it out.

Chrome at work and I like it. But the damndest thing at home. Chrome kills my DSL modem and rests the connection about every 15 seconds. Never could figure out why so use ff at home.

:cool1:

Number one reason why I keep using FF is adblock. I hate ads, and I didn't know there was an adblock for Chrome. Sweet.
