I’ve tried Google Chrome and I was very impressed by it. But I still removed it, for one reason only. The automatic updater that was not configurable and kept attacking my firewall and locking up my computer. An application without configurable updater doesn’t last long on my pc
I should give Chrome a new try to see if they fixed it.

Thanks for the feedback Roger. I guess the ones the made the switch to Chrome are not Firefox users. It’s so hard to give up FF with all the wonderful add-ons/plugins available. I think the ones who shifted to Chrome are users who wants a simple browser that loads fast. As for the security/privacy issue, I agree with you. With Chrome running on Beta, it’s easy for them to get away with security faults. I use Chrome from time to time for testing and YouTube hehe.

I have tried it and to be honnest I am not impressed… I don’t know, I the feeling it is too “simple”… the interface is pretty ugly… I think you would have to give a good reason to swap from Firefox to that.., especially because of privacy issues…
