I have been using Firefox for years now. I just got Google chrome today, and I will never switch back. It seriously feels 10 times faster. Comments? Also, who still uses AOL?

Chrome is pretty amazing. I tried Firefox for a week once, and it kept bugging out on me. Never had a problem with Chrome yet.

I use Chrome for almost everything except for TLN. Chrome still has some issues with extended flash videos / streams crashing so that's why I use FF :)

I've been using Firefox for years now as well. I might make a switch since you're having an awesome time with Google Chrome.

Chrome's features are very easy to use and it is a very reliable browser..personally I love that the homepage for chrome puts up your top 8 favorite sites...so as soon as I click it I am able to instantly go to MLG or TLN or facebook youtube...its a great feature

Unfortunately I'm waiting to graduate college to get a new computer. When I do, I hope to try out Chrome, which I've heard great things about. Until then, I'm stuck running Firefox, which isn't terrible but also isn't great. I actually loved original Safari, but in my opinion Apple has done a poor job keeping it up to date with the latest and best.

I have Chrome, FireFox, Opera, and Internet Explorer on my desktop. Chrome is most definitely my favorite. I dont have a tool bar going half way down my screen so it looks clean. Most importantly, its fast. :)

Is anyone here old like me and remembers the days of the dreaded AOL trial disks? Haha, paying for an internet browser was so normal then. Glad the world got wise to that one.

I like chrome but it takes up a bit of RAM since I only have 2GB.
But firefox is always my default browser

Yes I have no toolbars either :) Chrome is super clean, another reason I like it.

Have any of you try'd installed Chrome addons as well? One of my favourites is the Youtube Addon Pack. It adds a ruck load of features that include, auto repeat, auto HD, spam remover Etc. If you goto the addon section of chrome there are thousands you can install

(Some of them do conflict with each other and can make an unstable platform) But other then that Install away
