I switched from IE to Firefox a few years back, and I haven't looked back.  Chrome just doesn't seem to offer me much.

Same here.  Well there was one time that a Firefox patch made everything just not work and I switched to Opera for a while.  But eventually they sorted out the trouble or something else happened and I forgot what it was and I found myself using Firefox again.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I've finally given up on Firefox. Default at work was Chrome and been using that. At home today, I was tired of how slow Firefox seemed to be going (/I know a few of you mentioned something about that with regards to the latest versions) and downloaded Chrome.  I actually feel like I have highspeed internet again. :blush:

I'm a recent convert to Chrome as well.  Firefox annoyed me one too many times with its rapidly deteriorating performance and stability, and I gave Chrome another try.  Haven't looked back since (except once, to retrieve my stored passwords).

OK, I'm going to give this a go as firefox is slow and resource intensive and I downloaded Lubuntu onto an old netbook and Chrome on that seemed to be fine.

I'm still using Opera as my main browser, open all the time, but need another program to do crap stuff like click thru revenue etc.

I just downloaded it. Feels kinda laggy to me.

It takes a while for Google to download all of your private info it wants, it quickens up pretty good after that is done.

I'm getting frustrated with Firefox and Flash which seems to crash ever 30mins.

That's part of why I finally switched. Gotta say I've had very few issues so far in my past couple months (work/home).

Well it's fairly swift, it's certainly improved over FF on the couple of laggy website I've tried, especially the grocery portal I use.  :blush:

I've noticed the last couple days I'm getting an error playing youtube videos on Firefox but they play alright with Chrome. I guess they figured out how to deal with Ad Blocker. :(

Is there a difference between Firefox' adblock and Chrome's?

I haven't installed Chrome's. Just started using the thing two days ago. Yes, I'm that lazy.  :blush:

Edit- ok, ad block seems to be working. Guess the problem's with something else.

Giving Chrome another spin, because Firefox is just too memory-intensive to justify any more, but Chrome still jumps me to the top of every web page when I post, rather than returning me to the thread where it leaves off.  I don't see any way to adjust that behavior.  That's pretty much an app-killer as far as I am concerned.

Anyone know how to fix that?  Is it even possible?

It scrolls you up to the top of the page after you post?  What about when you reload the page?  Either way, I can tell you mine doesn't do that.  Very strange.

garbon

Yeah mine doesn't do that either.
