I am not sure if I'm late to discover this..

I just discover the "Chrome Web Store" a moment ago and discover a lot of apps and extension that do much better than FF now.

I was a loyal fan of FF because of the many add on that make my IM research work easier until it crashes my PC a few times. Now, I have the "new" Chrome!

Check this powerful SEO extention Chrome has to offer:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search?q=seo

What's your apps / ext. that help your IM work? Mind you to share? I have jist installed "Ultimate Chrome Flag" that shows PR and Alexa ranking and a lot more details with just a mouse click while you're on the page you're visiting.

Check it out Warriors!

I've been Chrome even when Chrome wasn't cool! It is so clean and fast, blew the rest out of the water.

Thanks for the extension link. That looks like it will come in handy!

JamesJeffery

I'm hooked on Firefox because of the web developer extension and Firebug. It's the browser I develop in before testing on others.

Mike Hlatky

Yep, I have been using Chrome for a while now.

I enjoy the bigger screen space.

I use the Awesome Screenshot, EyeDropper, and Bit.Ly extensions.

K_tir

Chrome is great! It's much better and faster then Firefox.

Matt Ward

I really like the Firefox 4 beta. It's very much improved over the previous versions. I highly recommend it, even if you've been turned off by FF in the past.

mindmarketing

You take that back! You take it back right now!!

Kidding. I use Chrome sometimes. But only when FF isn't looking. I wouldn't want to make her angry....

Have you tested all of those SEO plug ins? Recommendations?

tamalanwar

Hi I am a recent switcher and now use chrome on all of my internet enabled computers. On my laptop I use the browser with 2 additional SEO plugins; one is SEO quack and other is Chrome SEO.

SEO quack I use every time. It's also a very popular one on FF. Didn't use much of Chrome SEO.

By the way, I use FF for firebug, will see if it is available on chrome; PS: chrome already has firebug feature, just click "Inspect" and then use it.

waken

Haven't tried all yet.. but they all look great. Will test to find out which does the job but won't be trying out everything that seem to do the similar thing. I just look at the user review and rating to decide which one to go for..

Exactly the same manner I am writing reviews for visitors

Thanks Mike for sharing!

i use firefox on my laptop and chrome on my notebook. both are good browsers though admittedly firefox is slower.

Mohammad Afaq

I dumped firefox a looong time ago. Matter of fact I started using chrome when it was in beta (I'm an old-times )

Firefox has been a PITA recently:

Slow Browsing Speed
Crashes
Lack of update compatibility for plugins
etc.

I used to only use firefox for SEO plugins but now most of them are also available for google chrome so I use firefox maybe once in a month just to see how it looks like

yoyo

chrome is great however flash crashes to much

Joshua Rigley

I've used FF for ages now, and I've never had any problems with it. It's fast, and its extensions are awesome. SEOQuake is particularly handy.

Still, I think I'll check out Chrome in the near future.

Steven Wagenheim

Well, I love Chrome too but unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge,
Roboform, at least the version I have, isn't compatible with Chrome, so I'm stuck using Firefox and IE for most of my browsing where I need passwords.

But yes, I am beginning to not like Firefox much either.

Luke Graham

FF is absolutely horrible - many people moved because it was "quicker", "more secure" and so on than IE, but to get anything meaningful from it, you have to install a bunch of plugins ending in a bloated, insecure, slow browser .... or IE.... joe blogs said it was cool, so brother blogs moved as well, and so on....

By the time i've loaded up the browser, with 5 tabs and everthing is sorted, im well under way when doing the same in chrome - the speed was obvious in the alpha release, yet alone beta.

Disclaimer: I am, however, a bit of a google api fan - android, goo.gl, google tv, wave, chrome = 'do one' apple

Chrome is great for the most part and for developers (and IMO internet marketers) should be the must-have browser. However, at the end of the day the browser /I/ use is meaningless really - its what my /customers/ use that is important and sadly, IE is still the majority there.

sylarrr

Chrome has built in developer tools (no firebug need there, trust me).

But atm I am using firefox because of the extensions.

2marketnow

Is there a marked difference between the two if using video apps?

imfusa

I usually use firefox too, but i am going to test the new chorme, tested till today internte explorer, opera, safari and uninstall them all. Let's see what this browser can do.

domainarama

Anyone tried Comodo Dragon (this is NOT a link)? It's not in the big leagues yet. But it works for me when I want to do light lifting.

CHROME IS THE BEST BROWSER

apoorv.parijat

I love Chrome, too! It's got 1Password recently which was a welcome addition!

I use a lot of SEO Tools such as SEO Site Tools, SEOQuake, etc. Firebug also makes its way into Chrome which, for me being a developer, is nothing short of awesome.

Lloyd Buchinski

They do have a version of Firebug, at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...knfglimnifench

From the comments it doesn't match up to the FF version, but it is built by the same people and it might not take long before it does match up.

mindmarketing

WooRank is very cool. SEO Site Tools, Chrome SEO and SEO SERP also pretty sweet. No clear cut favorite yet but I'm going to work them over this weekend and watch the cream rise.

BarberShop

Chrome has this nasty habit on crashing and then not reloading back the pages that crashed. There is a feature that lets you reopen them but it doesn't always work. Sometimes, when your pages are gone, they're GONE.

dpm

What has put me off changing to Google Chrome is reading about some security issues with this browser. This was a while ago, and Google Chrome is now up to version 9, so maybe the security side has been improved.

I must admit that using Firefox is getting to be really frustrating as sometimes it takes ages to load when a website uses google analytics. Very often I have to cancel the script as it seems Firefox has crashed.

I recently found out that it is possible to transfer bookmarks between different browsers using a program called "Transmute", so giving up Firefox should no longer be a problem.

I just need some reassurance that Google Chrome is a safe browser to use. Then I wouldn't hesitate to change.

mindmarketing

No real FTP plugins though.... Shame.. Love to see FireFTP as ChromeFTP...

Lloyd Buchinski

Well, I had to switch to Chrome temporarily this weekend. I was trying to install the free Google phone service with FF and couldn't do it. Finally it dawned on me to try it with Chrome and that worked, fast, simple, and first time.

I also had to switch over for another reason lately. Not permanent with it yet, but it might go that way.

AUKev

The biggest advantage to me is memory usage. I often have a dozen or more tabs open at a time. FF does not free up the memory as you close tabs. Chrome will eventually free up the memory each time you close a tab. Nothing worse on a machine than to have FF taking up 700K of memory and without shutting down all the tabs, if does not get freed up.

Up until that point, I was ALL Firefox.

Victor

Dumped FireFox a few months ago. The only thing I don't like is Chrome's video (flv, swf, etc.) downloading plugins that don't really work most of the time. If anyone knows of any like the FireFox plugin "Download Helper", then please do share.

myvps

i wanna use Chrome but looks not accept roboform tool bar.

fastm0ney

Chrome is the best browser out there hands down

Victor

Maybe it's time to give LastPass a try?

dessytall1

Google Chrome is the best for now. Internet explorer, firefox, safari and opera are slow when it comes to loading webpages

clickbump

Hi, I'm Scott and I'm addicted to Chrome.

There, I said it.

Seriously, I didn't think anything could beat FF once I began using it, particularly with all of the cool extensions, specifically FireFTP, which I use every day to manage the ClickBump Member's dashboard.

However, once I started using Chrome, its my goto browser. Lots to love and super fast and uncluttered.

The only time I reach for another browser is for compatibility testing of new CE4 template releases and when I need to access FireFTP (which is Firefox only currently).

Alex Barboza

Chrome is the best browser if you like giving away all your browsing information to Google

Amelle

I have been using Chrome for a long time because it is so much faster than Firefox and doesn't crash as much as Firefox.

unlimitedmarketing

I really like Chrome. But I havent checked out the web store. Will be doing that now.

hobsdv

I switched to chrome last year, i still use Firefox for certain tasks but the majority of my browsing is now done on chrome

Elion Makkink

I've switched to chrome a long time ago. It's faster, has a better lay-out and also supports great plugins now

dwakeman

I have been using both and Chrome is so much faster than Firefox. I was running some tests earlier today and Chrome is hands down better than Firefox. The only reason I have been using Firefox was because of the addon tools, but I have been able to find just about every tool I need is now available for Chrome.

koolphoto

I use both FF beta 4 and Chrome on my desktop. I like both. I don't think one is faster then the other. I do have a fast desktop. On my netbook I use Chrome because I think it is less of a memory hog.

linksman

I had loads of trouble with various versions of Firefox, multiple page openings, crashing and very slow on occasions.

Chrome is like lightening in comparison for me and you can use SEOQuake etc just like Firefox but without the hassles.

Craig Beckta

After seeing this thread I gave Chrome a test drive and
it is much faster than Firefox.

Hard to get use to the interface at first though.

DJL

I use Chrome as my default browser, but one thing that annoys me about it is that it doesn't seem to know what to do with streaming audio.
For example, the following url: KUHF Classical Music.
Internet Explorer opens it in Windows Media Player, then I can close IE and the music plays.
Chrome thinks I want to save it, so opens a Save As dialog box.

Christian Little

I've been using Chrome since beta, but I do use Firefox for certain plugins that I find invaluable.

Here's how I look at the 3 major browsers:

Firefox - SUV. It's slow and chugs gas like there's no tomorrow, but it's very reliable and you have so many customizations and plugins for it that make it a really good workhorse.

Chrome - Nascar. It's super fast, but dies in horrible explosions when something bad happens. I like how it takes thumbshots of your most visited sites as the default page rather than forcing you onto a search engine or msn.com.

IE - Sedan. Gets you where you want, but it doesn't really do anything good. Extremely sensitive to javascript. Unfortunately this is still the #1 browser for most people.

mindykoch

LOVE CHROME.

Use it almost exclusively. Love SEOQuake, WooRank, Keyword EYE, Chrome SEO, and MozBar. For those missing roboform, try LastPass. Also like the Goo.gl shortener.

Tallguy83

Chrome is fast.But I've all the settings and Roboform in Firefox...Maybe I will change when I have some free time

xxxJamesxxx

The way it's looking, it looks like I may have to jump ship!

Praney Behl

I use chrome everyday and almost always. Its light and does the job great

vishalduggal

I dumped Firefox 2 months ago because it was eating too much RAM. Now I use chrome and it rocks. But still when it comes to add ons Firefox rocks.
