And the pace of change on requested issues is nothing to brag about.

But essentially it's a delightful browser, and quite trouble-free. It comes in three channels. Dev(elopment) I found to be a bit too hot. Stable is what you want if you want nearly zero issues. And Beta I found to be the Goldilocks.

Initially I had some issues in the WP composition window, but they have passed. Firefox is still more configurable and has more extensions, but Chrome is a pretty close second, and its likability quickly made it my default browser some nine months ago. I would say give it a spin, and if you're risk-averse use the Stable channel.

No problem for me sticking with FF until the brainiacs are nearer unanimous that something else is better.

See my techie nephew is a bright kid but he's also a religious right Tea Bagger. So serious. He didn't even grudgingly grin when I asked if he's supporting Christine O'Donnell on the Repubwiccan ticket.

Now you know why I came here to confirm his advice.

And a genuine, sincere thank you to sacredpath, raincoaster, slikbonez, justjennifer, merovee, goofballcommittee, alfatrixspeed and tandava108 for your help.

It is light weight, quick and not bloated. Still, it is the only browser I've had issues with over the past 6 months (well unless you count IE, but that is a given). With Firefox or Safari I seldom every get an email from a client saying, "my site's broken, I can't post or I can't this or I can't that.

I've had some clients using Chrome with WordPress and with Joomla sites, and there are some issues that have cropped up with image uploading and in some cases the editor quit loading. Nothing we could do would get Chrome back on track, not even uninstalling and reinstalling it. I now all but insist that my clients use either Firefox or Safari (Mac, Windows, doesn't matter). I simply don't want to waste my time trying to get Chrome back on its meds.

I have used both Firefox and Chrome and became a huge fan of Chrome up until recently I decided I would run a experiment with the two browsers.. Come to find out by purposely visiting dangerous websites that would commit Drive by downloads in the back ground..

I tested Firefox and Chrome and found out real Fast that Firefox block most of the websites and stop the download action while chrome display no such warning and my security software started to auto quarantine the drive by downloads that slipped through chrome...

So with much belief after what I first hand experienced with both browsers that Chrome doesn't live up to its hype around the class of security...

Don't get me wrong Firefox has it's faults as well in the security category

I don't think I've added anything to Tumblr in a couple of weeks.

Chrome rocks. I started out using it on my netbook and liked it so much that I switched to using it on my desktop as well. Not planning on going back to using FF.

I can wait for Chrome to settle down though. I imagine Google's next bite into Microsoft will be the OS.

Luckily I came across Sea Monkey which is Firefox with alot of unnecessary programmes stripped out . I have used it for a month now and haven't had one crash or freeze .Pretty quick too .

Makes sense. I'm not the "latest thing" kinda guy. I like to wait until the "latest thing" is sooo five minutes ago. Besides, Rich said "It's finicky." Now that's a tech word I get, lol.

Nice looking site tandava108.
