Chrome in your Firefox - Page 2

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 >.>

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.

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.

Wow man I didn't realize people used safari.

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

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)
