I want to love this browser, but until they implement add-ons it’s just unusable. When I use it, I’m constantly saying to myself, “Oh, wait–this isn’t Firefox. I can’t do that.” My Firefox add-ons ARE the browser at this point. Also, Chrome has a very bad bug that causes typing in the address bar to be incredibly slow and unresponsive if you have a lot of bookmarks (which I do). It’s a nice browser in many ways. Still not ready for primetime.

Yeah, while Chrome may be faster than all of the other browsers, it’s still going to take more than that to pull me away from firefox.

This article deserves a review now that the browser is a year old.

wow… WOW… there’s a lot of stuff I want to say about how stupid some of these points are but it’s already been covered.

I know this thing is old, but it is on the first page on some searches about Chrome, and I want to say how stupid the privacy thing is……

–”Did you know that whenever you type in a search and hit submit, data is actually TRANSMITTED TO GOOGLE?! I mean, like, is this 1984? I smell fascism.”

–”I was for warned early on that it’s not a good idea to allow google to know too much about you. You allow them to track you through Chrome and well like your ss# do you really want it all out there?”

The first one made me laugh. Honestly. What do you think happens to ANY data you type in the address bar of ANY browser???? It has to get transmitted somewhere, lol, how else are you supposed to get a response to what you typed in? hahaha pure stupidity there…

okay now, so what ISPs do you people use? Do you ACTUALLY think they aren’t seeing anything you do on the internet? haha… they can see MORE than chrome could ever see if they wanted to… comcast

anyways I’m sure my point is made by now…

Scary stuff! Those conspiracy theories are big much though. The thing which worries me most about chrome is the effect it is going to have on firefox, as google can’t continue promoting it once chrome is released? I’m a die hard FF user.

There’s one vital point that the geeks have missed.

Chrome is outrageously fast compared to IE and FF. And that’s the most important thing.

quote:"I do not remember allowing Google Chrome to take my Firefox bookmarks either."

chrome does ask if you want to important your personal data from any other browser ... which obviously includes your bookmarks.

I kind of like it, as it is faster indeed, but I just can't do without my firefox add-ons, so I stay with firefox for now ...

then again, once the plugins start to appear, I'll give it a second try for sure ...

I was for warned early on that it’s not a good idea to allow google to know too much about you. You allow them to track you through Chrome and well like your ss# do you really want it all out there?

Soon Google will know when you get up. when you go to bed and what you had for breakfast.
