That's my problem with Chrome too. I find that it takes waaaay to long to get started. Once it's started, it's pretty fast.

I use Firefox. I didn't care for Chrome when I tried it about a year ago.

For those of you who are Chrome users, I would highly recommend watching this Arcade Fire video that only works on Google Chrome. It's interactive when you enter your address (or any random address I guess if you're afraid of the interwebz terrorizsmz) and it generally awesome if you don't have a rural address.

Chrome. Used Safari forever but got tired of it. Chrome is what Safari should've been...

Never really got into Firefox, just never liked the look. I may give it another try though.

Firefox. I've tried Chrome and it's decent. But there's something about the feel of it that leads me back to Firefox.

justincredible;858566 wrote:What was your issue with Chrome?

I had quite a few, probably won't be able to remember them all but here's what I can think off the top of my head.

- chrome disagreed with how we should handle email attachments
- the tab issue as others in this thread have stated
- their add-blockers
- the pop-up blockers were too aggressive (some sites use pop-ups, ex. on Pandora, I couldn't view my profile because it blocked the pop-up window)
- had numerous issues with extensions
- had numerous issues with in-browser media players (streaming audio, video)
- download manager

Never had a problem with any of these in Firefox.

Hmm, that sucks. I've never had any of these issues. Probably because I have a mac. :p
