I moved to google Chrome because I was tired of sites not supporting Safari, and I finally see the ads above the board! 0% APR for 72 months on a Suzuki? Is the 265HP AWD 6sp Kisashi available yet?

I use a combination of Safari and FF for the same reasons, but FF reminds me of IE (without all the problems) when it does things like not load pics, not play videos, etc.

FireFox works just about everywhere and I don't have to see ads. Perfect combo.

I had to uninstall Chrome because it (at least in my case) isn’t compatible with WebEx which is a must have at work.

Chrome actually has the same ad block from the same guys... It took awhile for chrome to catch up, but I prefer it now.

I got tired of the fact that I could literally click on firefox, then open 3 instances of chrome before firefox would actually be up and ready to go. Firefox definitely is not a bad browser, but it seems like they lost sight of the fact that they were supposed to be the lightweight and quick alternative.

Chrome had a lot wrong with it for a good while, but they seem to be caught up now. All the add-ons I look for are there, its much quicker to load, if a page happens to crash the whole browser doesn't crash just that page... Its just better at this point.

That's odd, I use it on several machines that need to be able to run WebEx and I can log into a WebEx from it.

I use Safari and want to punch my computer at least 3 times a day. I like the layout much better than firefox or chrome though....

Chrome is starting to suck badly, at least here. Random shutdowns. Slow browsing. And the biggest bitch problem I am having is the constant Shockwave Flash has quit responding message.

Ditto here

The googles said to disable any other shockwave flash as Chrome has it's own installed and they will battle. Didn't work for me tho.

Firefox is actually the one with a better selection of plugins (why I use it) and Chrome was the fastest by far until fairly recently, but they're about the same now.

I've given in to my Google Overlords. We got Google Nexus 5 phones and everything is all just seamless and it works. It's a little creepy when it informs me that my trip to "home" will take 22 minutes - about 3 minutes longer than usual - when I just happen to be about to do just that. But I can deal w/ that 'cause it makes a ton of other stuff effortless.

Switched to chrome when I got tired of Firefox freezing all the time. Firefox is bloatware now like windows and all it does it freeze. Freezes on fresh install, on my PC, my laptop, all the computers at work. It's just garbage now.

Firefox is worse than internet explorer now.

i dumped firefox because it updated berkeleying daily, and every plug-in you had no longer worked, so an hour of updated 10-12 other thing ensued. chrome just works, at least for what i do. plays vids, saves passwords, and doesnt require an hourly reboot of my entire browser...

i used to love FF as an alternative to Ie, but my favorite color is now 'chrome'...

Several sites where I pay bills (power company, water bill etc) have notices posted that Chrome will not work with their sites. So I have to run both IE and Chrome.

I run Dolphin on my Kindle Fire, that's a crashin' sumbich there.
