I Might Be a Convert! Google Chrome.

Apr 15, 2010 19:36

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I might become a Google Chrome convert...

Well, at least PART of the time.

I remain really fond of Firefox, even when I'm finding it annoying, because I love addons!

Of course, I found a cool IE tab extension for Chrome that let me use it for Remote Desktop -- something I've never done with Firefox. (I should check -- ( Read more... )

Well I think it was great that you went to lunch with me and I enjoyed it even though I didn't keep any of it down for long. Boy as much as I throw up, why can't I be skinny.

I am so sorry my boy got sick and threw up, poor cat, thanks for the message. I won three games tonight and had a run in with Dot, but oh well. The rest of the club took my side, but she doesn't need to be such a b word.

The week-end will be too short with all you have to do, but I know you will get everything done that you need to for the trip. Remember keep thinking about being in the sun with warm weather soon. Love Sue

I love all your sweet and interesting comments to me, Sue! These are as good as entries (but harder to find)...

good luck with it! and I mean it sincerely ..

There was a LOT I liked about chrome, but there was so MUCH that they were not compatible with -- I am sure that is better, and getting better .. just was not worth all the back and forth for me and I finally dropped it and went back to all FireFox.

love

Firefox is still the best in my book. But there are things you CAN'T DO with Firefox, as much as I love it. And one of those things is use Remote Desktop, which is how I work from home...

Chrome can never beat Firefox for me. But it's interesting -- and FAST? Wow, it's fast!

Oh my, love your esoteric computer talk, just wish I really understood it :-)

In a nutshell, Chrome (from Google) is a good browser. Way, way better than Internet Explorer (which most people still use, even though it sucks). And in some ways even better than Firefox, my fave browser.

If you've never tried anything but IE, you really should give another browser a chance. IE is the least safe of all browsers, by the way...

Google Chrome looks neat to use but I'm so bass-ackwards I'd probably screw the computer up with it! *LOL*

The cool thing about Chrome is it's EASY to use. Actually the easiest of all the browsers out there! And it's so simple it's safe, too.

And fast? Wow. Dead fast.

google chrome *is* pretty amazing. it's all i use on my netbook, primarily because it gives the largest amount of screen space -which is all too valuable on a 10 inch screen. and yes, i love the speed =)

there's definitely add-ons, i just haven't had a need for many of them. the one that i *do* use is 'chromed bird' for twitter, because i missed -what was it, tweetdeck/echofon?- from firefox.

charliemc April 19 2010, 21:52:58 UTC

I'll have to check out that chrome addon, as I'm hooked on Twitter these days. (grin)

I'm still pretty much a Firefox girl, but there's a lot to be said for Chrome! I'm a convert in that at least I'm using it now, unlike before (when I uninstalled it)...
