Google Chrome

I also am waiting until they get a version 1.1 out. Though I am not sure if I will look at it too much. Its open source so I figure anything that is really cool will wind up in Firefox.

Explorer I stay away from like the plague.

I find it to be as fast as Firefox but not faster plus Firefox is running a ton of apps. Also, it does not have any of the ad-blockers, pop-up blockers, download helpers, spell checkers or hundreds of other add-on apps that I have with Firefox. I also don't like the way Chrome handles my favorites.The newest version of Firefox (3.0.1) is great and I am sticking with it. Anything is better than Internet Explorer which is a "window" to viruses/spam.

I use Safari at home and IE at work (which I'm stuck with). I find Safari to be far superior to IE. From what I've read, Chrome was built using Apple's Web Kit and is 100% compatible with Safari. With that being the case, I'm not sure there is any reason to try Chrome over Safari unless there are some really killer added features I'm unaware of.

Trying the CHROME and just learning my way around, so far I think I like it although operating a tractor is a lot easier. Haven't got my RoboForm to recognize login pages.

Edit: Just learned the Google Chrome is not supported by RoboForm, might have to go back to FF.

I've just installed Safari 4 on my Mac. It does seem quite a bit faster than Safari 3.

Firefox (in conjunction with GetRight and Flashgot) volunteers to download an Image Viewer cgi script when I click on a check number.
I keep meaning to get around to making that script an add-in, but then I get lazy and start IE up - just to view a check or two.
I HATE that IE is still so buggy and the fact that it seems to need a "security fix" 3 or 4 times a week doesn't suggest that they should tie ANY bank application to it.
Doesn't suggest that ANYTHING should be tied to it...

I just got around to installing Google Chrome. So far I like it. It seems snappy. I like how uncluttered the interface is. Chrome doesn't feel as clunky as Firefox 3.5 does. Actually, for me, ever since Firefox 3 was released it has got slower and slower. It takes forever to close. I liked Firefox 2 a lot better. I have Opera and while I like it, it doesn't work with a number of pages right. It hates Yahoo mail (or Yahoo hates it, I don't know ). Chrome works well with Yahoo mail. I'll run Chrome for a while yet before making any definite decision about it, but so far I like what I see.

An update to the above. Safari 4 has a really nice feature called Top Sites. It shows your favorite 12 sites as snapshots all on a single screen that appears with one click. Works as smooth as silk on my Mac.

Chrome is the essential part of google's attempt to un seat Microsoft. They see the future of computing being "cloud computing". The programs are not in the computer but on their servers.You can already get some this with docs.google.com. But for this to work you need a lean and mean internet program. On internet programs you have tabs so that you can switch between pages you want to look at, but you are always running the risk that whats happening on one page will bring down the whole program, so what they have done is to make each page run as a virtual machine.
There were some compatibility problems at first but they seem to be clearing them up.

One of the problems with Firefox Im told is that if you surf for some time the cache of pages doesn't get flushed and this will slow the system down.

Google Chrome is far better than any other browser, and to add its credibility Google Chrom OS ia also coming next year. Chrome 3 is faster than anyother browser and not as fast as FF3.5
