We switched to Chrome last week and love it. Firefox blows next to chrome.

Ya gotta get Firefox, they said.
Firefox is the best browser ever, they said.

I may just go back to IE and be done with it. Let me know when the Browser Rebellion is over.

I'm trying Chrome, and I like Firefox better, I think.

yabbut, it's a pain in the ass for us dummies.

I actually downloaded Chrome some time ago. I may have gotten rid of it...my poor old computer is loaded to the gills.

I don't know if this is true or just my perception (I threw that in for classic

) but it does seem like I find a lot more spyware (when I run spybot) on Firefox than I did when I used IE.

Is that possible or did I just not notice before?

I can't get my friggin' root cert authority to be recognized in chrome. It's my own goddamn domain; I know the cert is legit. No matter what I do, or where I load the damn thing, I cannot get it accepted.

Chrome is dead to me. Dead.

Chrome is pissing me off today. Flashblock is not blocking youtube links on cellar pages. Therefore every cellar page with a youtube embedded in it is taking forever to load.

Did you accidentally tell it to always allow flash from this site?

Pete Zicato · 04-02-2010, 09:35 AM

No. I checked, but thanks for the suggestion.

There are actually two different Flashblock plugins for Chrome... I found that I liked one, more than the other. You might have the same experience.

I could tell you which one I liked better, except that I can't, because they're both called Flashblock.

Aw shit, I thought, I don't want to rewrite that post!

I made a screen capture of the 2/3rds of it that was still on my screen, and ended Chrome. Windows 7 did a nice job of noticing that the application was hung, and helpfully gave me a dialog box to end the program.

I decided that, with a pending Windows Update due, I should just reboot the entire system. When it came back I restarted Chrome. Chrome noticed that it had crashed, and asked whether I wanted all the tabs back. Nothing new there, Firefox will do that for you.

OK, I thought, might as well. But when the Cellar tab reappeared, my whole post was there with it. How awesome! How unexpectedly delightful! Great work, Google: if they want the tabs restored, chances are 99.9% they want the form data restored too.

I have switched to using Chrome as my primary browser.

I love chrome but I still feel like I have to use firefox... Theirs some addons on firefox that I can't live without now

. I also don't think I can "save tabs" when I close chrome which was one of the things I love the most out of firefox. Besides that, I find chrome is a better browser, almost never crashes and you barely lose anything when it does.
