Still a Loyal Chrome Browser
Thursday
Jul 1, 2010
I’ve been a loyal Google Chrome browser since it came out with the first public Beta. I’ve been using Chrome on all my Windows computers since. I like the simplicity, speed, and now the availability of plugins. I like the small footprint, and the fact that each window or tab is its own process. In short, it just works. I know there are limitations, but it seems that Chrome has started becoming more mature in many respects.
Recently, Google announced that Flash support is now built-in with the latest stable release. I guess this is necessary, because Google applications mostly work on Flash and dynamic HTML.
What browser are you using, and why? Are you one of those persons who can use just about any browser you find on a computer? Or do you need to use your preferred browser to be productive?

I’m most productive when I’m using Chrome. Aside from being fast and having a small footprint, I like its minimalistic interface which makes the most out of my computer screen. Its built in toolbar sync tool is also very useful for me who wants to have everything in sync among the different computers I use.

I love Google Chrome as well. Firefox has just become to fat, clunky, and a perpetual hog on resources.
Though I like some of the new features of Safari 5, wishing they are also available in Chrome. Hopefully soon!

First time I used Chrome, I was not impressed. I’ve been using Firefox for quite some time now, as far back when I was in college in 2004. But because of this post, I think I will “revisit” Chrome again. Recently, I noticed that Firefox is quite a resource hog. The fact that you said that Chrome has a small footprint is enough for me to give Chrome a second chance.

I’m an IE user. But when I tried Chrome, I totally switched to it. Chrome is fast, simple and user friendly. Chrome has all the things I need. This browser simply amazed me.
