Ive just downloaded and installed Google Chrome.

I was using Firefox and liked it. I quite like Google Chrome so far.

Anyone got any opinions on it?

Think everyone's been using it for ages since it came out, myself included. Pisses on the rest as far as I'm concerned. Was buggy at first but everything seems fine now.

My only gripe so far is there is no little search box at the top right that Firefox had (ebay/google etc etc). Came in quite handy.

^ Just type whatever you want to search in the address bar. Goes straight to google.

I've been using it a while, still a few things that piss me off. Mainly moneysupermarket.com not working

I like it, very clean and fast.

But without an ad-blocker I'll stick to Firefox. Won't get one either, given how Google's income stream is all advertising. There's workarounds but I'll stick to tried and tested solutions.

I use Chrome and find sometimes the Ctrl+T shortcut doesnt always like to work, and also on the HSBC personal banking page there is a flash thing that loads after everything else so im busy typing in my stupidly long log in stuff not realising Chrome has reloaded the page to put the flash thing in, mening i have to type it all out again, apart from that its very fast

I just use Privoxy, which blocks ads in all of my browsers without other addons.

Use it at work and like it.

I used it for about a month at home on my laptop then started having problems with it not displaying pages properly and dont know what the problem is. Never been able to sort it so I use Firefox now.

Just use Apple Safari, it uses the same browser engine only it's less buggy and Hotmail works in it too
