Thread: Google Chrome Is Faasst!!

Much, much faster than firefox. Not a computer guy myself, they don't interest me that much. BUT...... I'd recommend a try with Chrome for anyone who wants a little extra speed.

I used it for a while but everytime I browsed TD on it I got logged off every 5 minutes. Anyone else have this problem?

SO was firefox,, originally. its all about being stripped down. once they add more features expect speeds to slow down!

chrome is memory hungry though - each new "tab" is a seperate application

google = the new evil empire

or thats what it seems like anyway

Sheesh, perhaps you could write on review all on one post... ?

Hey, when I'm pissed I make multiple posts with no-one else contributing and insult everything, I must be a DD multi nic

Oh joy.

cannnot be a DD multinic, - you are too coherent. its too early in the morning for him now. and not enough Focks in the posting.

now i got 4 browsers installed. got IE, Firefox and last week i added Chrome and Apple Safari (anyone else tried it already?)
still use Firefox 3.0 most of the time, its fast and i love the new adress box with search in it.

Some sneaky editing going on here, there was nothing posted between my original 4 posts, but Marmite merges 3 of them and KW gets one in before the 4th.

You are accusing someone with a 0.32 average of post whoreing?

I have this problem on this forum and others. I have to select "remember login?" and it settles it

I'm sticking with Firefox mostly cause u can browse your bookmarks through address bar

But I will try out Google Chrome soon I hope. Right now I already have Opera installed and that is working fine as well

that's better now, MtD mucked up the names....

I've recently switched to Google chrome from IE.

I like it- first and foremost it's a lot faster than IE, and on my Ipstar connection at least less downloads get frozen, or just don't work. More reliable, and faster- that works for me.

I also like the Home page that displays your most commonly used Web sites, which in practise is the lions share of my browsing. No problems copying your favourites either.

Some of the glitches mentioned above may have been in earlier, beta versions of Chrome. I made the switch all of two days ago, and am glad I did. With a dodgy Ipstar connection you need all the Browser help you can get.

Dare I say it - IE 8 is faster than Firefox.

I'll still use FF though as it has all the bells & whistles that I use for work.

I use google Chrome because it is fast, and very reliable.

I also like how google search is at my fingertips.

Same as every other browser. FF has Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Answers, Wiki & Ebay built in as standard.

You need something that is reliable, you ain't, you have promised to leave this site 37 times in the last 3 days and you just posted here again.

for someone that has been in the public baths with the tyrant of DPRK you seem very strange.

I tried it and and found it unreliable on some sites and have not used it since

^What sites, and how is it unreliable?

I've had it crash once, since I've started using it a week ago.

Didn't the German government warn people recently against using the Chrome version as google can monitor everything you do on your PC?

Not "IT" But "YOU",,

I have the new IE 8 and it is as fast as Google Chrome, which I didn't care for.
But it has my smileys cut down to 4 on the quick post.

These are all I can get= and

Chrome renders fast, but as for downloading, your bandwidth is the bottleneck, rarely the browser. I used Firefox 3.5 and Foxmarks, which keeps my bookmarks synchronised across all of my laptops.

The Firefox default installation is not optimised. If you aren't a complete computer halfwit, then try the following link to make some changes that will speed it up:

If you are a halfwit, take a full backup first

Had an embarassing moment recently as Chrome didn't render pages properly, whereas all other browsers did. You'd think they'd get their shit together on this front, and I won't be using it again as a result.
