Chrome in your Firefox

[Hamma]

Classic, the UI is almost exactly the same as Chrome and when bundled with:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4762

The only difference is that the tabs are on the bottom and not on the top.

[Baneblade]

I don't use either lol.

Or, Chrome in your IE8 (http://gizmodo.com/5365362/internet-explorer-now-powered-by-google-chrome).

Fuck Chrome. I like Firefox version 2. I had to go get several goddamn mods to return FFx 3 to the way I like it, in addition to opening the code and editing several settings manually.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Im using Chrome just because I hate how slow FF makes my computer run. I leave the window open for a while and it just slows my entire system down, haven't had that problem with chrome yet. The Incognito function is kinda nifty too.

I really like Chrome but, no plug-ins is a dealbreaker for me. I need Adblock Plus, IE Tab, and Noscript.

There are extensions for Chrome, though I use none of what you want, I just use a couple Gmail and translation extensions.

Some quick links:

http://www.adsweep.org/
http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/adblock-7523.html
http://www.chromeextensions.org/
http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/ie-tab-needed-52.html
http://userscripts.org/tags/chrome

I think you only NEED adblock if you are going to less than reputable websites. I feel adblock is people thinking they have some kind of entitlement to others work.

Thanks for those links. I may have to give chrome another shot, FF is kind of sluggish sometimes. Any recommendations on an RSS reader for Chrome?

[Ghryphen]

I use Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) with 137 subscriptions.

I was just mentioning to Hamma today how slow FF is. I have 5 browsers installed for testing, I mashed the icons for IE, FF, Safari and Opera in rapid succession to test out a web page, I had IE, Safari and Opera loaded and then loaded the web page in each before FF started to show signs of life with the taskbar entry showing up.

[Ghryphen]

You are retarded.

[Mag-Mower]

Oh Really? I kinda use chrome for everything. So much faster than the other. I could go on, but whats the point in arguing with an idiot?

[Biohazzard56]

Just gave Chrome another shot, installed Adsweep. Its like night and day compared to FF.

[QuakCow]

I was all over chrome when it launched. Was involved and talked to the dudes who were doing the themes. Fun stuff...I still run the dev channel, might not be the most stable and I've met some nasty bugs but I get all the fun stuff earlier :)

I used to use firefox only, and I still use it on my laptop (Isn't strong enough for chrome).

Firefox with chrome-like interface is very interesting though...

Chrome is really a temporary web browser, it's purpose is to allow people to get on their computer, go to a site within a few seconds, then close it. it is not meant for use over over normal or extended periods of time.

Yeah, you're right I only use Chrome for short periods of time. When I want to browse for extended periods I use Lynx instead.

Even more now, https://chrome.google.com/extensions

Also - Beta Chrome for Mac and Linux are out now. The linux one runs pretty good.

I liked Chrome when I first got it, it's nifty, but for some reason when I'm browsing, I'll click a link and try to load a new page and it just stops, can't refresh, can't go back a page, can't do anything, just sits there "loading" forever.

So I stick to FF, I'm sure it's a great browser, it just sucks for me >.>

[Hamma]

I've only found one annoyance in Chrome myself.

If you have a dropdown on a webpage, say for a state selection.. If you open the dropdown and type "TX" and click on the page it resets back to the first option.. firefox stays with what you jumped to.

[Baneblade]

Safari

is gay.

[Biohazzard56]

Adblock + for Chrome works fairly well. I never get the annoying pop up or pop under ads, but unlike Adblock for Firefox some flash banner ads still show.

Ill try downloading Chrome for OS X. I despise Safari and Firefox on OS X really blows.

[Hamma]

Wow man I didn't realize people used safari.

[Baneblade]

is gay.

Don't talk about yourself like that.

[321]

Firefox on OS X really blows.

Repent heathen before I burn you at the stake.

I still run DOS. O_

That's not a browser nubcake.

Official Extension Gallery is up, great stuff there. Im using Adthwart, Chromedbird (Twitter), Gmail Checker, and RSS support.

Durrr! I used the "/" commands to browse! :p

Seriously I don't see what the fuss is about a web browser or another... I use firefox just because it's the shortcut I have on my desktop, otherwise I'd be using IE.

Then again I'm not what you could call an advance user.

Back in the day Firefox had a lot of advantages over IE, such as tabbed browsing and lack of ActiveX support. Now it's more about the addons (Firefox) or the speed (WebKit)

The best Gmail checker is called One Number (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cfkohgkpafhkpdcnfadadcibfboapggi), it checks 4 services in one, Wave/Gmail/Reader/Voice

[Baneblade]

Trillian checks gmail too. Which makes it the best :p
