Microsoft announced their new IE9 yesterday and one of the so called features was "Chrome speed".

I am using Google Chrome for my browser and like it's ease and quickness. Anyone else here using it?

Just curious.

I have become accustom to using FireFox but I did not know about the noscript addon, thanks a really nice addon.

I've used Firefox since its inception

I have Chrome, like it... but not enough to ditch FF on most of my machines. Work (WinXP), primary PC (Kubuntu Linux) both have and use FF. My phone (Cliq - Android) uses Opera Mini because there is no chrome or FF for it.

I have a laptop (Slackware Linux) that runs Opera, one (Win 7) that runs Chrome/sometimes FF

Chrome is slick, I like it.

I think you'll see a glowing similarity between the browser and the OS when the Google boys get around to releasing it. ;)

Firefox issues?

I use Firefox on the desktop, and it's starting to act up. Seems to stutter at times, takes forever to start up, and gives me "non-responsive script" errors. Half the time it doesn't reload my open tabs either.

The netbook has Chrome. Great for a slower computer, and less junk taking up already limited screen real estate.

Exactly why I switched to Chrome...while open carrying in my home office I might add.

I have six browsers on my laptops (I design/manage sites), including Chrome. My defailt, though, is Firefox.

I do not have any versions of IE on any of my machines. In fact my machines are a "Microsoft Free Zone" ...

(MS used to be a client of mine, and it's a long story, but I do not use anything from them if at all possible.)
