Chrome - Do you use it?

[DisturbedPervert]

No. Looked at it but the plugin selection seemed crappy, and I use a lot of plugins in Firefox.  Maybe this will, or has, changed. 

Don't really see a point in trying it again given the absolutely massive number of plugins in Firefox for any almost any purpose.

I had a '70 Dodge that had a lot of chrome on it.....

Tried out Chrome, wasn't thrilled- reminded me of the crappy "homebrew" IE variants that kept surfacing around the era of Netscape Navigator. Customizability is piss-poor at best, and flashy graphic icons take up UI and system resource space that could be better used for meaningful information. Google's "c'est la vie" attitude toward closing off user access to settings that could be used to optimize connection and display was also pretty off-putting; it put me in mind of IE's stubborn refusal to implement even basic HTTP pipelining and conform to the HTTP/2.0 standard, even though many browsers enable it by default nowadays.

tried chrome, it was better than explorer, but I have misgivings about googlecorp, so based on recs by languish Firefox fans, I switched to FF, and I am quite happy.

Try Safari.

Yes for the same reason I use bing.  I'm in web development so I use multiple browsers regularly. 

I find Chrome to be all right but every once in awhile I find it fails on a random script or when accessing ssl.

Cross-browser compatibility: web dev holy grail

Look to the browsers for that. IE, for example, refuses to adhere to HTTP standards and also strongly encourages ActiveX controls (which no other browser uses).

In related veins, security or other closed-source algorithms might vary between platforms, making interoperability impossible without loads of bloated code.

when I use Macs, I use the default Safari, but I am not switching to Macs anytime soon. they perplex me more than they should... I have to reboot them more than I expect.

I use Mozilla Firefox v3 on my XP partition, and Safari on my Mac. I'm thinking of switching to Firefox for the Mac, too, since Safari's advantages (the Top Sites feature, which was totally stolen from Opera) over Firefox are minor compared to FF's over Safari (adBlock add-on, and FF's ability to let me type phrases into the address bar to search my history, so I could type "off the Record" then pick Languish.org, for example).

[DontSayBanana]

Firefox kicks ass with its huge library of supported (and regularly updated) add-ons- most notably the NoScript extension.
