I haven’t tried Google Chrome yet, but with some useful extensions I just might give it a whirl.

Not true, Chromium, the open source project on which Google Chrome is based on is open(BSD license) and you can fork it at any time if you disagree with Google hired code drivers decisions:

@Daniel

What will happen when everyone starts to blocking ads? The same thing that happened to popups, which means 2 things:

- part of the sites will realize that given the option between a clean site and a site full of useless rubish ads people are choosing the first one, and then will stop serving ads voluntarily and find other sources of revenue (paid premium, etc)

- part of the sites will find immoral and will develop new ways to not get blocked, which normally means even more obtrusive/annoying ads, and the arms race will keep going on between sites and blockers

Eventually the first group will have better results and the second will follow on their footsteps.

At least that’s my optimistic view of the whole thing, I really do not see advertisement-as-the-main-source-of-revenue as a model in the long run, companies relying on that today are fooling themselves.

I gave Chrome a tryout but soon found myself back with Firefox, opening 50 tabs at a time, noscript, bookmarking, etc., and I have no complaints about Firefox speed. Only problem is sometimes it simply closes down on me, maybe once a week, but the “restore previous session” has saved everything.

-that is a hideous logo

-just what struggling companies need right now- to allocate more manpower to maintaining yet another browswer with its own quirks

-firebug is manna from heaven

Chrome is much faster than FF3, in my experience, but Shiretoko (alpha build of Firefox) is appreciably faster than either. I switched to Minefield, now Shiretoko, some months ago and I wouldn’t think about changing.

BTW, its losing Firebug, not AdBlock, that keeps me from using Chrome.

It was just time they got extensions out. I’m much in love with Firefox extensions like Downloadhelper, FireFtp, Hyperwords (you’ve written on this), Foxmarks etc. If Chrome wants to be my default browser, then it has to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Why has everyone forgotten the little fact that Chrome is closed, proprietary software?

Surely this the most valuable thing about the Mozilla project. By definition Firefox can never turn into the new Internet Explorer, because Firefox is controlled by its users.

Unlike Chrome.

With any luck, someone will port Firebug over to Chrome…Chromebug, if you will.

It is boring that Google always looks for somebody to find this stuff and make it public instead of going on the press route. Now an old trick.
