PeriscopeDepth · 01-20-09, 06:03 PM

Any thoughts from those that know more than me?

yeah - tried it (Chrome), didn't like it, too different from what I am used to in FF, especially the bookmarks.

I tried it too, ended up sticking with Firefox, the interface is too weird and I didn't see any performance difference

Opera

Then Firefox, then Chrome. I guess the main reason for that is that Opera and Firefox quite similar to some extent, while Chrome feels a lot more simple.

Firefox rules. Tried Chrome, it couldn't compete. And I was surprised, because I love all things Google...

I like chrome on my Harley not, my PC.

Opera is superior to both of them.

PeriscopeDepth · 01-21-09, 08:21 PM

Thanks for the replies all. I'll stick with Firefox.

I know Opera has a loyal following and many believe it's superior to Firefox, but I've tried it before and I just prefer the Firefox feel.

I like Chrome, nice spacious pages, rather zippy.
But it's missing a lot of functionality. I tfeels a little like using IE after years of Firefox.

I alternate between the two depending on what I'm doing or what mood I'm in.
Stuck with IE at work. Sigh.

Chrome has been accused of not being secure...dont know if that has changed alot since its launch though.

I tried chrome, it's something you have to get used too.
Although I can't say much of firefox, it wasn't until my new computer that I really finally switched over from IE. lol

I'm getting occasional crashes with Firefox on my new Vista 64 box.

Yeah, I know, it's my fault for not being patient enough for Windows 7. But I wanted to spend that cash before it went to something else.
