Yeah, it's quite nice (and fast, webkit is awesome) but has some issues with certain websites. It can't really compete with Firefox 3.5+Adblock Plus (yet).
Hehe, that's what I'm currently using, except the adblock. Might give this one a try anyways. On another note: Post nr.6666. Whoo hoo!Yeah, it's quite nice (and fast, webkit is awesome) but has some issues with certain websites. It can't really compete with Firefox 3.5+Adblock Plus (yet).

Best Firefox add-on you'll ever use: http://adblockplus.org/en/installation
I like it for the most part, but I'd really liketo be able to set a homepagerather than have that recent history page come up everytime.

NoScript is the best add-on, AdBlock is second IMO.I tried google chrome, doesn't work well with some websites so i'm sticking with firefox until they fix thatandyboiiiProbably the only drawback is compatibility with some sites. But that'll be fixed. The incognito window is the main reason for the browser though ;)

Hehehe. I can't imagine what else the designers and developers had in mind when they put that feature into the browser you know?

Yeah, I've been using Chrome for a month or so now. For some reason, Firefox kept getting really slow for me...I'd been using Firefox for years, but I just got fed up with it slowing down...I'm talking dial-up slow. Not sure if it's an isolated problem or not. Anyway, Chrome works great for me. It's streamlined and fast.

Firefox has always had memory leak problems. I just restart Firefox periodically to avoid this. This is one area where Google Chrome definitely has an advantage.
Out of the 3 browsers I have used (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome), Google Chrome is definetely my favorite. It has been the fastest brower for me, and I like how the homepage is your internet history. With this, I am able to get to Gamespot or Youtube more easily than before (since I spend most of my internet time on gamepot or Youtube ;)).
Chrome owns, it gets 100/100 on the acid3 test, firefox gets 71/100, 3.5 gets 91/100. Chrome is way faster than firefox, do the futuremark benchmark test. Also I hate jerks with ad block, it messes with websites like mine which really benefit from the extra money from ads.JigglyWiggly_
Sorry for not wanting ads. :?
I'm on a Mac so I mainly stick to Firefox and Safari. I tried Chrome out once and didn't like it much. Of course there isn't an official Mac version yet so my experience was hindered.
