I feel like a proper introduction to my comment would be to note that I’ve used every type of computer, OS, web browser, etc etc and Google Chrome stole my heart almost immediately. It’s simply a smarter design. What I’m finding is many people want to believe Firefox is better and while I won’t disagree there simply just isn’t any argument that Chrome is the fastest browser. I type over 200 wpm and it’s the only browser that doesn’t lag when I type in input fields if that’s some sort of proof for you. Also the way it handles itself in your RAM is far superior to any browser I’ve seen. I just wish installing a Google app didn’t mean I needed to run GoogleCrashHandler.exe in the background. What is it handling? A crash is a crash. Let it crash. It doesn’t crash anyway. I only use Firefox because I have Flashblock installed and sometimes I just don’t want flash to auto play stuff. Hard to explain, but there are scenarios when loading lots of tabs without flashblock will (for lack of better terms) kill your system.

Chrome is rather nice. I’ve never used a faster browser.

I actually use it as my primary browser for most things now. No other browser outside of IE has been able to claim that title yet. (I do use firefox for some things…it’s GreaseMonkey capabilities are nice. I used Opera for awhile, but too many things didn’t work and the speed gains weren’t sufficient.)

Hi Raju. My Chrome stats have gone up slightly between November and December to 3.18% of hits. Suppose once a few more plugins become available like for Firefox I might give it a try Wiggys last blog post..Garbage Truck house!!

I agree with one point of yours, loading of Javascript is amazingly fast in chrome, but try ot the latest Opera 9.6, I found it faster…

I'm a Chrome fanatic. Videos and Java interactions load so amazingly quickly. The only downside for me at the moment is the lack of plugins (autofill, pagerank toolbar, etc). JJs last blog post..McCain supporters are intelligent

Absolutely true! Everyone these days likes to sensationalize things to drive more traffic to their sites

Well looking at my stats for the exact same time frame, only 1.87% came through from Chrome! So maybe it didnt justify all the hype!
