Shearer 124 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I made the switch from Firefox to Google Chrome when I reinstalled Windows on my pc and I'm really impressed so far. Firefox was crashing on a daily basis for me and I've not had an issue with Chrome, not to mention the fact that it loads up faster and is quicker at searching What does everyone else think of it?

bluepeter 5,627 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I use Chrome on my laptop, I'm using IE ( ) at the moment as I'm at work. I used Firefox before I got my current laptop, and quite liked the add-ons and things, but I find Chrome to be less RAM-hungry, leaner and faster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the ability to use the address bar as a search bar in chrome, it makes things less cluttered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue1872 2 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Chrome is miles better than fireforx atm. FF just keeps fucking crashing, total pain in the arse now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmo21 15 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Chrome is lightening fast and I really like it...miss the FF add-ons though. Chrome extensions went live in last week or 2.

Talking to yourself in the first person has to be a new level of insanity, surely...? I was exactly the same, I downloaded too many extensions and some ended up just being annoying. Chrome is lean and fast, I really like it. I find myself Google searching in the address bar when I use other browsers. It's mildly annoying! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter 5,627 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Don't like it,Firefox has been fine for me,last time it crashed was months ago. I found Firefox a big step up from IE, so was reluctant to change. For me, Chrome was another step up from Firefox, but it's about what you like I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that in work all the time because we only have IE installed, it is very annoying! I like having a very uncluttered browser and I really like when you open up a new tab it shows your most used sites, makes browsing really easy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinho1982 0 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 seen a billboard for this today, are Google trying to take over the world ? Seriously though, I'm considering installing, as firefox keeps crashing and giving me the process still running message. Does anyone know if ending processes like this harms your PC?
