I'm looking at trying out Google Chrome, has anyone else tried it?

silversnake · 01-02-2009, 04:57 PM

I have firefox, i tried chrome and enjoyed it but i'm comfortable with firefox that I don't' see a real reason to switch unless a lot of different / cool thing come on chrome.

I hope you are selling it to buy another Mac.

I use Camino on mine (it's basically a Mac-optimized Firefox), though still pull out Safari if I feel like downloading any embedded content (like videos from YouTube).

I use IE on the home PC, firefox on the work PC and either firefox or Safari on my powerbook.

Safari for my MAC Pro

Rike255 · 01-02-2009, 05:05 PM

Haha, oops I meant to put Safari not Opera as the option. I suppose I should've had them both. Sorry Mac users!

Don't feel bad, I am not happy with my iMac...

Had to vote Other.
I use two at a time for different reasons.
SlimBrowser for IE compatability with added features and security, and Opera because it's the best non-IE browser available.

Chrome... unless they changed it, every tab you open adds another instance to the task manager.
3 tabs, 3 Chrome processes.
15 tabs, 15 Chrome processes.

Each using it's own share of system resources/memory.
When I tried it, it was a pain to uninstall - lots of leftovers scattered everywhere.

Ya I saw that when I tried it out. But even with all the processes running seperately, the overall resource usage was below that of firefox. I think I had about 4 tabs open on Chrome and about 7 on firefox. Not a fair comparison, but nonetheless.

I regularly use Firefox, but have tried Google Chrome. I like it, but there are some kinks that need to be worked out. I won't comment on the abomination that is Internet Explorer.

I also use Safari primarily on a Mac.
