I want to love this browser, but until they implement add-ons it’s just unusable. When I use it, I’m constantly saying to myself, “Oh, wait–this isn’t Firefox. I can’t do that.” My Firefox add-ons ARE the browser at this point. Also, Chrome has a very bad bug that causes typing in the address bar to be incredibly slow and unresponsive if you have a lot of bookmarks (which I do). It’s a nice browser in many ways. Still not ready for primetime.

I have been using Chrome for a few months now and love it! It is a lot faster than IE, and has less clutter. It is very user-friendly, and is simple.. but effective!

I have been an IE user for ages. Based on the positive reviews, I thought I would try Chrome. I did for about 3 days. Frequently visited sites drove me crazy. Some sites doubled up: some sites never showed; some sites I did not want to ever see again, I could not get rid of. FAQ did not address my concerns. There is no comprehensive explanations of features. Email program that came with it will not import my contacts from Yahoo Mail. All in all it has been a disappointment. I don’t think i will go back to it.

Certainly a fast browser that brings many good ideas to the arena. However, try changing the default search engine on the fly, exert some influence on cookie and privacy policies, … and Chrome really falls short. Chrome is the expression of a Google-centric view of the Internet. Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 and Opera currently provide better user experiences and in particular, control. Chrome will also need to stick closely to other browsers as far as any rendering idiosyncrasies would be concerned. Most Web Developers already have enough grief with the existing differences between the browsers on the market. The Beta phase was very quick. I suspect we will see major user experience improvements with future versions, or Chrome will be just another Safari, but one without the Mac OS X home playing field.

My experience with Google Chrome has been outstanding. It is VERY quick, extremely easy to use, clean interface but the home button should be enabled from the start.

I downloaded it and I found that it is almost functioning like Firefox! except the differences in the layout and looking.. it is nothing except Firefox.

I have tested it in various websites that display fine in MS IE but not in Firefox and I found that Google chrome displays the websites exactly as what the Firefox does!

Anyway, beating MS IE is not easy at all and I don’t think that any browser will reach 1/10 of IE.

I just downloaded it today. Wanted to test the new website which we had build in chrome…Quite disappointing…this browser is only good for simple sites..our sites uses a lot of xml stuff…and it seems it not working at all.most of the css stuff is not visible on the screen…it works fine in firefox and IE.. Its disgusting how people have to test all their codes in all the available browsers..there is no standardization..It would have been good if GOOGLE had collaborated with firefox and helped the community…
The problem out here is that Google knows its image well..it wants people to adhere to their rules ,rather than adhering to user community rules..
Hope Google had done some justice out here….

I just uninstalled Firefox, cause the bookmark management has improved a whole lot… now it can import and export bookmarks from an html file, I’m not sure if from any browser, but from html files, yes it can.
AJAX apps compatibility has improved, I don’t know if with java apps, but for what I do with the internet, this works, it’s FAST, and for these reasons, firefox is gone.
I love Chrome.

I say pretty good for Chrome, very simplistic but that is not automatically a bad thing.

I had used IE for years, it is pretty reliable but I got annoyed with its slowness. I tried Safari it is very quick and I am open to sticking with it but I got annoyed with its frequent “100% CPU Usage” problem.

I tried Chrome a couple of weeks ago, and aside from the fact it cannot open my “Excite” email account, it has worked beautifully well for me thus far. As long as I get a smooth and reliable web surfing experience, I do not mind having to use another browser to check my excite email. Of course not the ideal setup but it easily beats the annoyances of IE and Safari.

Chrome so far, quick and reliable!

Now about that Chrome “eyeball”, lol…

Cookies…it’s either on or off. I adore the feature in Firefox where I can decided website by website. Won’t use it until this is changed.

Honestly, in my experience with Chrome, there isn’t one reason to switch back to any other browser. the interface took a little bit of time to get used to, but it now feels completely natural and works wonderfully. Some of the ideas might not be original implementations, but this is one of the best packages to include all of the standout features into one. This is now my browser of choice, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

First of all, Google Chrome Beta (yes, itâ€™s still in beta) which was released not long ago should not be compared with any browser because it has been released for a short while and this is there first browser and itâ€™s just a Beta (not the completed version) unlike Firefox, and yet it still manages to challenge Firefox. Wait until Google releases 1-3 more updates/upgrades/newer versions to Google chrome and then try it again and most of you would like it (or since iâ€™m now posting this, try the latest version of Google Chrome) but if you want add-ons/extensions that donâ€™t slow down your browser or cause other issues like with Firefox, give Google 5 months – 1 year. Also, Google Chrome, believe it or not, is much faster, has a cleaner interface, uses less memory, crashes less than Firefox (with me) and is more secure and Google releases 10-30 nightly builds of Google Chrome everyday and also has a Developers/Testers channel which has newer versions of Google Chrome every 1-2 weeks (with a change log and new features etc) which are tested before they are publicly released. Google Chrome’s EUlA was changed the day it was released when an error was found in it.
