Quoted: Quoted: FF had a very cool add-on that would load the next page of a forum. As you scrolled down, it would load the 3rd page, etc. Is anything like that available for Chrome? Autopager. It works very well. Hmmmm that sounds handy. |

Chrome is good, but they need the standard bookmark and file features. It's hidden I like Chrome, but I also agree with Chaingun. IMO, that's one of the things that need tweaking. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: IE9 is sufficient for anyones browsing needs. A Yugo is sufficient for anyones driving needs. And a Yugo would look hot and appropriate with a Firefox logo sticker on it. But for the vast majority of PC users out there IE is the way to be. Secure, fast, stable, easy to use...other than some misguided sense of sticking it to 'M$', whats not to like?  You had me going there. |

A few of the tech guys I talk to online have been saying good things about the IE8 looking pretty cool. Personally at home I run chrome and at work I installed FF portable. IE is just painful to use anymore.

I don't have any problem with the new breed of IE for normal users. I love my adBlock, NoScript, BetterPrivacy and other plugins too much to switch to Chrome, however. Still sitting on FF4 though, because I'm not willing to reconfigure everything every 2 months when Mozilla feels that their version number is inadequate. |

I'm in the process of extracting myself from the GOOGLE information harvesting machine.
For that reason, I'll never use Chrome. I have the "scroogle" search app in Firefox, and it works great. I lose out on google image searches, but that's not a big deal. Next month I'll have almost all my email on my bank accounts, credit cards, etc., etc., etc., switched from gmail to LUXSCI webmail. The commercialization of our private information and surfing habits is "a bad thing" and I'm not supporting it. |

IE might not perform optimally. But on decent hardware, with a non-'optimized' OS, it'll run more than fine. I played with Chrome, and its OK, but nothing special. FF is fine for people who think addons are a valid substitute for a good core browser, but other than that, unimpressive. There is just no good reason to not use IE on a Windows machine. |

If FireFox could fix its memory issues, i'd stay with it.
I have 8GB of RAM on my Laptop and it sucks up about 600MB-1GB on the regular. Absolutely unacceptable. I've been on Chrome for awhile. Not 100% happy with it, but it doesn't suck up memory like FF. |

Used Opera back in the late 90s. Got sick of it and went back to Navigator. Went back to IE around the time Mozilla was open sourced. Stayed with IE until hmm... FF 2, been there ever since. Played with Chrome, didn't like it. Same with Safari.
These days it's FF for everything except OWA, because IE owns at OWA. |

So does Chrome have the equivalent of AdBlock, FlashBlock, NoScript, and Linkification? I would consider switching to a better browser if it had those necessities. Well, maybe Linkification isn't a necessity, but it is nice.

Well, maybe Linkification isn't a necessity, but it is nice. Don't know about Linkification, but both FF4+ and Chrome have a builtin feature where you can highlight a text url and the right-click context menu will include an option to open it in a new tab. |

Fuck Chrome. It's a virus or trojan. I haven't even googled, downloaded or installed it, and I occasionally get some Chrome script that locks up my laptop.
I hope all the Chrome developers get cancer of the taint. |

I use Opera 10 at home, IE 8 at work and whenever there's a site that doesn't work well with Opera.
I've had FF on my systems for a long time, but I never could warm up to it. I keep it around for odd jobs. At work I only load FF when I need to capture http headers, or to test something. At home I have FF set up for my kids to use, so they don't get into any other bookmarks by mistake. Mostly I like Opera because it's so configurable. My interface looks about the same as it did back on Opera 2.0, 11 years ago. There are few things that make me rage more than developers arbitrarily changing the location of things around for no good reason. I'd rather keep things the way I'm used to, even if they are marginally "less efficient." |
