 Because ActiveX is not fully supported, Chrome is not cool.

 Yeah Google Chrome is ok, but definitely needs a lot more work.

 I've replaced firefox by Chrome now, just for the startup speed to be honest.

 By far, for me at least, Chrome is the fastest (even than firefox) and I still haven't been able to figure out Songbird.

Because if ActiveX was supported, Chrome would be an insecure program, regardless of its "sandbox" access design.

 I don't think Firefox or most other browsers use ActiveX either.

What is this ActiveX for anyway? I don't see why the Internet needs it. Some more extreme anti-IE people (supporting mainly Firefox) call ActiveX simply a security hole or malware.

 I enjoy Chrome. It's a light browser that I use for smaller tasks, such as checking my e-mail. For work Firefox is still my prefered choice. I think both browsers have unique qualities.

Firefox doesn't use Active X.

Java applets can run on nearly any platform, while ActiveX components officially operate only with Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser and the Microsoft Windows operating system.


You technically can get ActiveX to work with Firefox via Plug-In, but there's little reason to.

 That's what I said. So again, what's the point of ActiveX?

 That's like asking "What's the point of the Trident rendering engine?" The answer: because Microsoft wanted to.

 Chrome has been pretty nifty for me. It isn't as common as the other browsers, and the layout isn't the same, but it is a good browser. Plus, I love that it doesn't crash as an entire program, but rather as a single tab.

 When I tried Chrome it was SLOW. Almost as slow as IE.

You didn't have tabs on FireFox before? :blink: Are you a new user to it?

I finally decided to remove Chrome. I just don't like having a bunch of extra programs, especially when I need the space for music. ;)

 Many people mention they use Firefox for the add-ons, which leads me to think the browser its self is no good without the customisability aspect. :ermm:

I my self just simply default to Firefox, as it's a browser I'm used to using; and have used practically from the beginning. I have ten browsers across four machines, mostly for cross-browser testing. I'm not too keen on the new look for Safari, and Chrome is somewhat similar, so I may be more inclined to use Opera on my main machine if I put Firefox away for a while.

I like the aim Chrome has, and it is still in beta, so it can only get better. I'm not an avid add-on user, so making a full-time switch won't be too difficult for me. I do use Chrome to browse here occasionally.
