Similar to M's question about Bing. I saw that many on p'dox OT were loving it and I wondered if anyone here uses it regularly.

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.

I use it but only rarely.

When/why do you use it?

When I want to follow a link to amazon to check something out but I don't want to have them start recommending me that shit. Like if somebody posts a link to Twilight.  :lol:


Edit: But like PRC, I have some web-based apps in the environment I support and I use it for testing them.

I just installed Chrome and it grabbed up all of my Firefox settings! :o

No, but I might consider it if it has Adblock, Flashblock, and Last Pass type add-ons.

I don't think I like not having the standard file-edit-help bar along the top. It feels so un-windows like.

It sneak installed itself onto my desktop with google earth and you know...it does seem rather nice. Very shiny and somehow spacious. I've only ever used it as a secondary browser, never attempted to run my life on it.
I've heard tales of spyware and other nastyness though which is offputting.

I tried it some time ago, wasn't that awed.  I stopped using it completely once I heard the rumors about the typical Google privacy BS.

garbon

Yeah that reminds me again of why I didn't end up using it.
