tubaloth Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I guess so. I hear on the radio this morning that I guess something was leaked about A google browser. Everybody was waiting for google to release the beta. After a Press Conference today it finally got releasedGoogle Chrome - Download a new browserIts pretty much 70% FireFox, but it did take some parts of Safari. (Its made to be for the newer internet, more for videos and sound)Its only beta (meaning there are still bugs, its not perfect) But man oh man! Its a good start. Really really fast for what I have seen (and I liked how fast FF 3 was). lets see what Microsoft can do now. (There is suppose to be some ads in the browser, but I haven't seen them yet).

miztrniceguy Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 i just updated to ff3 last week. ff2 kept hanging. i dont like the annowing things in the dropdown as i type in the address bar. i find it distracting and feels like commercials. otherwise i like it.

NateHowe Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I am a bit put off by how much memory ff3 takes. Even IE is better. I do prefer Firefox 3 Portable over Opera Portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenRaines Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Have been with Firefox since it started. Will check out Chrome but stay with Firefox for now. Ben Raines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelonaWing Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I found that with IE I had it lock up several times........ I downloaded FF3 and I LIKE IT!! I tried to install the google toolbar in my IE and it screwed up my computer so I deleted it and then everything worked again. I am not a google fan! YAHOOOOOO is the way for me!

miztrniceguy Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 i love google, but dont use the toolbar. the search box is all i need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unixknight Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 It looks like so far the biggest advantage over FF is that Chrome handles memory issues better and eliminates the leaks. A co-worker and I are experimenting today with Chrome, FF3 and IE7 to see how the memory issue looks after a day of browsing and shuffling tabs. I'll let ya know what we find :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofball Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I am an avid user of FF but will be interested to hear about IE8. Apparently the beta version is out and it is supposed to be quite an improvement in regards to browsing security. However still will not update to IE8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Does Chrome have a spell checker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaloth Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Some sites it does seem like it checks spelling. But Some sites I can't seem to get it to work as well (Maybe I just spell the word so bad that it doesn't find any suggestions). IE8 beta is out. It is a little faster, but nothing compared to FF and Chrome. So IE still has some work. i love google, but dont use the toolbar. the search box is all i need. Thats what is cool about Chrome, the address bar, and the search bar are now all one bar. Meaning as you type a web site, it is already searching google for suggestions. Either you can just use it to search or type in the address. For me I have just been surprised at how fast Gmail, youtube and even just basic yahoo sites load. They seem a lot quicker! You should try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
