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. Really Firefox is more of "vanilla" it has no thrills or chills about it, it allows the user to decide what they want for features as add-ons. I tend to run it as much as I can bare bones, I just have No Script and Grease monkey of what I use. I like firefox because unlike Opera or most other browsers it doesn't come crammed down your thought with stuff. I have used it since 04 and only will I think I will put a effort in to changing would be if Firefox became closed sourced and you started to need to pay for it, or if Mozilla ended firefox and then I would probability move to an offshoot after using it for a few years after its death. (My windows IRC client of choice the version I use has been discontuned for a few years now and I still use it)

I started out on FireFox without having any add-ons to it. When I finally learned what extensions were, I tried a few out and I came to like it. The browser at its base is impressive. The add-ons simply make it more useful, in my opinion.

Chrome is fast and good as a sort of "need things done NAO" browser with very few extra perks, but I love its new tab page. When I downloaded the beta for the Google Toolbar for Firefox, however, it gave the same capability to Firefox! Yay!

Google Chrome is definitely still in BETA though. Don't fall victim to the Google confusion.

I would really like to use my Web Dev toolbar in Google Chrome.

It's not a hobby, it's a way of life. Posts: 2,685 Group: Members Member #560 Joined: February 10, 2003 I'm Browsing With Mozilla / Seamonkey	Google Chrome is not in Beta, anymore. The Beta you mentioned, Tony, is just the Beta of that version. Chrome has a stable version available that's not a Beta.

I had tons of extensions for Firefox, but I switched to chrome, and I don't actually miss any of them, which surprised even me.

Normally, Linux is one of their first priorities. Doesn't matter for me, anyways. I don't plan on using Chrome because of that weird EULA it used to have.
