I used to have on my desktop when I used to do some behind the scenes helping out for a website in case anyone needed to be talked through difficulties using our site with this browser but it never did anything for me over what I get from Firefox so I uninstalled it.

Chrome it's a good and fast browser but Mozilla it's gonna realease the new Firefox 4 soon. That it's gonna be a revolutionary browser ;)
The question is not who is gonna let me, the question is who is gonna stop me!

Chrome has issues it can crash a lot, it is a good browser problem for me tho, is that if you want to use an independent proxy it goes to system you cant for example watch programs in other countries.
, for its a poor design , the tenderer good tho, qick load time etc, firefox still wins but that has different bugs, oh Google web browser doesn't handle video to well

It's built on (an old version of) the Apple Safari browser codebase, which contains a number of nasty cross platform security bugs. Safari is pretty well reknowned for being a swiss cheese of a browser. People slate IE for that, but it's safari that holds the crown by far.

I'm a big fan of Google Chrome! It's simple, fast and safe - Firefox can get a bit intensive on the processor and I've never really been a fan of IE either...

Admittedly there are more add ons for Firefox (practically none for IE).. but Chrome's adds on are going up!

I'm trialing Chrome10 at the minute. Seems less intense on memory usage but doesn't work well with Blogger ironic as Google owns it!

Well I have worked on both Google chrome and Firefox. Well I just love chrome it has so many application to make the work faster, easier and better.

The tool bar and various other features just forces me to stick to only and only chrome.

Chrome is good --- a fast and solid browser. Firefox is also good, and has lots of good extensions.
Chrome and Firefox are both a good choice IMO.

I tried to install Chrome, but it didn't work. It also disabled my ability to download updates. After a lot of work I found it had written an extra line to /etc/apt/sources.list. Linux users should be careful about trying to install Chrome, unless you really know what you are doing.

A nasty little deal has been struck between Google and Adobe such that support for Flash Player has been discontinued on Linux unless you use Chrome. Forget "don't be evil" Google is going the same way as Microsoft and trying to stitch the internet up. The final version of Flashplayer for Linux is 11.2 and guess what? It's broken. Some users find that videos are populated by Smurfs because everything is blue and in my case it didn't work at all. A coincidence obviously. :roll:

In the end I had to track down a copy of version 11.1 and install it manually so I can use Youtube etc again.

running on a 64 bit OpenSUSE 12.2 Linux install

unless you count a KDE4 desktop launcher that is a bit of mangled code
