Ask HN: Did you switch to Chrome?

8 pointsby schtogover 16 years ago
So 3 weeks later, have you switched to Chrome or do yous till use your old browser?<p>Has it goten faster lately? My first impression was just "nice scaled down interface but nothing revolutionary and I didn't notice the speed" but it seems fast now.<p>(How can I do a poll?)

I've been using both Chrome and Firefox lately. I absolutely love the simplified Chrome interface. I can't use it as my main browser though until it supports addons. I have too many must-have firefox addons to leave FF behind.

I will once it's on Mac. Till then it's the nightly WebKits.

I have it installed and it works great but I must admit I didn't make the switch, partially because of the lack of extensions (I'm a web developer so I use firebug, webdev toolbar, etc a lot).<p>But it also made me think about what I like about chrome. Then I went looking for extensions to install on Firefox and I must admit I don't miss chrome because I have most of the good stuff in Firefox now!

I don't know why I haven't seen more complaints of this, but for both me and another colleague in my office, when Chrome is running (this is in XP) the system freezes for several seconds at totally random times, even when Chrome is just sitting in the background. Total deal breaker.

No, Chrome doesn't have a few of the goodies I love in Firefox, addons of course and keywords / %s goodness. Its a great browser (Love not waiting for a slow tab) but Firefox is much more powerful to me.

I have made the switch to Chrome for straight browsing, I like the simplicity of the UI, and find its much easier to navigate from site to site.

I still use Firefox for the advantages of firebug.

Waiting for the official Linux version here.

On my work PC, yes. Ironically, I have to use Firefox to change the settings for Google Desktop.
