    Just made the switch from Safari to Chrome. I'm never going back. Chrome is hella fast and runs real smooth.

    Moose, are you on a Mac?

    On a Mac, does Chrome let you 3-finger swipe and all that Mac-crap?

    nobody else has issues with chrome getting stuck on specific objects within pages? this causes issues for me when on facebook. sometimes, it will have difficulty loading images, or format the entire page's text in bold. when i try to change my default image it fcks up the cropping tool. am i alone here? user error?

    Chrome.

    The last few iterations of FF have sucked.

    I like Safari pretty good. I like some addons for Firefox, and do some web work, so I have Opera as well. Hate IE, but they discontinued for mac anyway. I like being able to get definitions with the old "ctrl-cmd-D" anywhere in the browser, and last I checked FF didn't do this, so for general browsing I stick with Safari(5).

    I'm on a g5 ppc so chrome doesn't work for me. wanted to try it, but I'm on an older machine.

    I love Chrome but it has something desperately lacking that makes Firefox 10X better..

    The use of Tags on Bookmarking a webpage.. Chrome doesn't have it at all... Plus the Xmarks add-in doesn't seem to work right and I can't get CamelCamelCamel to work in Chrome at all...

    I had this problem in the past as well. I believe it was due to an IRQ conflict.

    After I downloaded my new soundcard, it worked much better and I have only had to open 4 windows to establish a connection to the Internetz. [​IMG]

    IE is the least secure. 8 is a big improvement, but it's still not there.
