Mainly the thing is that chrome does alot of things that other browsers already do and do them just fine if not better, I mean out of the box nothing beats operas features and ui customization, IE8 security on windows 7 is fucking amazing how far they gone to make it secure (as long as you're not an idiot and surf the web on a true admin account or disable uac and keep protected mode on you're nearily golden to alot of types of attacks) or FF add on data base, all chrome is doing is taking attenion away and making an already filled market more cramped. Mostly i dislike it becuase google keeps tring to make me download it when i go to anything by google. | ||

It's baiscally Chrome but without Google branding and auto-updater. Edit: Also, to the person that mentioned Chrome for Linux being in beta... This doesn't mean that some core features shouldn't be working. Firefox alpha builds haven't any problem with that. | ||

Mostly i dislike it becuase google keeps tring to make me download it when i go to anything by google. other browsers do not manage tabs like chrome does, and one of the best features is dragging out a tab to create a new window or placing it in an existent window without reloading the page. that's enough to make chrome my main browser. if i want to use firefox addons i'd use firefox for those occasions. so no, not all browsers can do the things in chrome "just fine" and certainly they can't do it better. plus i like webkit a lot more than gecko | ||

Nope it's still an arguement aganist chromeium and iron easily because i want chrome to die i wont support any of it's off shoots just because google is shoving it down my thoat every time i use something by google Also my quote the first line is scarcasm hard to get scarcasm accross the internet. if people allowed to shoot down IE just because it's by microsoft i can shoot down chrome and everything like it just because google is fucking annoying. They argument goes you lessen the preceived value of the brower to the clients by using adverts to get the message accross that CHROME IS BY GOOGLE. | ||

You do know you could just disable your javascript or set up a trusted core list of website notiables that get lax security and beef it up everywhere else it's how i run my IE and i know you can do it in opera i'm sure you can do it in FF too Frankly i find it funny that people love no script and yet claim they use FF for it's javascript speed basiclly they calim ff is so fast becuase it doesn't render javascript when i don't want it to it's how i can tell the diff t-t Personally i don't know why people who just check maybe 10 20 sites don't take the time to set up trusted websites then just disable everything else to beef up security, my opera and ie only has maybe 30 trusted websites else by defult javascript and everything else is pretty much disabled. Take maybe 10 mins of you're life really like 5 and then you no longer need those shittty point less plug ins like no script which is just a shortcut to disable and creative zones to what you can already do with FF. | ||

As far as I experienced, FF handled everything marginally better than Chrome, except for flash players and games. Also, Chrome was quite glitchy, it kept "skipping" sometimes when I had too much shit going on, tabbing out to my messenger or something else running behind it. It will probably be fixed in the future if it hasn't already, but aside from that, the difference was so miniscule that I don't see a reason to switch from either to the other at all. But I would really prefer using IE, if it didn't fuck up my bookmarks whenever I try to import them  | ||
