I see your point Caj, but I differ on my stance.

I don't see it being a huge improvement to Firefox. I like the simplistic nature of the browser, but it doesn't have anything much different than Firefox.



Incognito is neat, didn't realize that feature... Redz can use that when looking at pr0n so his son doesn't come behind him and get scared at those freaky videos.

I like the tab page.

I like the simplicity.



But other than that, nothing different than firefox. I will, however, use Chrome as my primary and Firefox as my backup for a while, until I find a reason NOT to use Chrome. I do this in order to support Google, and simultaneously show my lack of support for Microsoft's dominance over the industry.

Chrome's market share, although I dont imagine it will be much, will come at the expense of FF, not IE.

I don't know if anyone has discovered this yet or not but I thought it was cool enough to tell everyone about. If you highlight a word and right click it there is an option to search google for that word.

It sounds and looks pretty good, but I can't give up firefox for it... Main reason is because of one of the add-ons, called Gestures. Basically it allows me to right-click and hold and drag, then depending on which direction I drag, it can do various commands, such as close the current tab/window, open a new window, create a new tab, move over a tab, go back/forward, etc. Every time I use internet explorer (or even the new firefox, which isn't compatible with Gestures), I go nuts because I keep right-clicking to close the page or something, and nothing happens. So unless Google has something similar to it, I have to stick with my old firefox...

I've been doing that in Firefox for like a year now.

LOL

I think it might be part of the Google toolbar.

Yeah, firefox does the same thing. Results 1 - 10 of about 2,740,000,000 for google. (0.08 seconds)

I'm not really sure if I want ANOTHER browser. Does it work with HMAService? Can you scroll up and down on the site?

I tried Chrome. Not as impressed as everyone made it out to be. Side by side comparison to Firefox, well, I never really saw any difference. I like the interface of firefox, so I am sticking with what I like.
