Google Chrome

NY Jester · 2009-06-08, 01:55 AM

now that its been out a while. Are there any real benefits or drawbacks of using it?

Greenguy · 2009-06-08, 07:59 AM

I use it & it's decent, but there's a lot more that needs to be done to it.

One thing that confuses me is that you still can't use the Google Toolbar with it

Just what the world needs, another browser.

The Wizard of Geeks let me know that us Mac users can now download a Mac build of Chrome but I've already got an Applications folder full of browsers that I never use so haven't gotten around to downloading yet another browser.

A.J. Angel · 2009-06-08, 09:01 AM

From my own experience, all you need is IE and FF.

If your site looks good in both, there are much chances that they look good on other browsers as well.

jds · 2009-06-08, 09:35 AM

I use it as my main brother since it's out cause I hate ie and firefox seems to become slower and slower when you use it a lot. So far no complain, easy to use, fast and stable.

Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is available and it seems a lot faster and less prone to freezing up than firefox 3.

Just thouht I'd let you fine folks know just in case you are as pissed at firefox3 as I was.

kickass · 2009-06-08, 02:06 PM

When it comes to developing, my experience says that if it works in FF works in Chrome. Thank god..

hony · 2009-06-08, 10:07 PM

I've almost forgot browsers other than chrome exist. It is just a browser, it doesn't get in my way, it doesn't try to make coffee. I've happy with it.

Well on the windows version each tab is basically in its own process. So this helps to make sure that a crash on one page will not take out all the other tabs.

Chrome/Chromium is also quicker than Firefox or IE.

Chrome/chromium also scores 100/100 on the acid3 test (http://acid3.acidtests.org/)

Drawback: It isn't as full featured as Firefox.

However here is a secret. Chrome is just the Free Open Source project Chromium ( http://dev.chromium.org/ ) rebranded and with a few tweaks by google. Usually Chromium has the newer features, whereas chrome is behind. Chromium in my opinion is the better of the two to use at any given time. Hardly anyone knows about Chromium, but many know of Chrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28browser%29

NY Jester · 2009-06-09, 01:12 AM

Good feedback, thanks. Ill stick with FF until I have reason not to for now.

magnus23 · 2009-06-10, 02:55 AM

from my experience on web developing, make sure you check it on EI first and then FF, if its works good on EI, big chances it works on FF..

I find chrome is useful for quickly testing how sites look in Safari on mac.

Why not just use Safari for checking what sites look like in Safari?

That's crazy talk Cleo!

MediaGuy · 2009-06-20, 11:53 AM

I'm becoming more and more addicted to it without knowing. It's... invisible. And fast as all hell...

I don't like it's bookmarks menu and listing, wish I could "pin" the list like in IE, but beyond that it's amazing.

FF to me was always a hog and a pain, but it has some plug ins like its SEO thing, that are very usefull. To me it's a tool to use, when needed.

IE is dying, getting slower and slower, for surfing, for opening...

Chrome in time will eat up the market.

I mean, imagine if Google put up a link to your app or site on it's home page like it's done for Chrome...

Adult Web Host · 2009-06-22, 06:00 PM

It's a decent browser. I switched back though to FireFox. I'll never use IE unless I have to. But usually if it's not compatible with FF they can

Tanker · 2009-06-22, 07:47 PM

I have it to test CCBTools templates but I do not use it to surf the web other then that!

Google Chrome seems to be based on Safari...
Check Chrome useragent info

flip.green · 2009-06-24, 07:05 PM

Firefox 3.5 has most of the features that are useful in chrome, plus chrome has no extensions to expand functionality. All of this could be over looked but there is also some trouble with its implementation of flash. Due to its "sandbox" model it has to spawn multiple instances of flash. Which in turn drags down a machines resources over time.

Chrome has a long way to go before it matures enough to earn market share. But im glad its around its open source nature suggests it's innovations will find their way into firefox.

plugin · 2009-06-25, 05:10 PM

From my experience, the best browser for slow machines is Opera

agreed, and more so FF. IE is really only needed to view broken links, e.t.c. in your site design

I have run across problems (running Chrome beta ver 2.0.172.33) getting Chrome to click on some buttons on some PHP pages at vendor site. But overall all, it seems 99% compatible.
