I was just wondering how many user on GiantBomb use Googles web browser? If you do, what features do you like about it? If you dont, what turns you off? I personally use Chrome over every browser I had on my PC(Safari and Firefox). Do you think they'll make it for iphone? I hope so!

google chrome is the ultimate pr0n viewing browser. You just open an "incognito" window and it keeps zero record or history or anything.

Being as it's brand new I'm going to give Google some time to work out the kinks and then I will probably switch from Firefox.

I use Firefox because I can't live without my add-ons and I don't like some of Chrome's interface quirks. Why you have Safari installed on a PC is beyond me. And no, it will never be on iPhone because Apple won't let it. Maybe Android will eventually get a mobile version.

Every major browser has that feature, though Firefox 3.1 and IE8 are technically not final yet.

I couln't stand many things about it.

The way the favorites work is the worst.
Drop down menues won't scroll with the mouse wheel. how is that even possible to screw up?
None of my other aplications that I have integrated into Internet Exporer worked on Chrome.
And I just didn't like the whole feel of it.

oh, and it crashed often.

I've used it from it's release. I definitely prefer it to any other browser, very fast and smooth, and easy to use.

I tried it when it launched, had a couple of small yet annoying problems with it, so went back to Firefox. I think what google are trying to do with it is great, but I just don't think they're quite there yet (or at least they weren't the last time I tried it).

I should have phrased that better. I dont have Safari on my PC but its (obviously) on my Macbook. Why wouldnt Google let Apple develop a Google Chrome app?

Middle-click scroll seems not to work, which does my absolute nut in; so I don't use it.

I haven't installed it to my current computer, but I did enjoy the fact the browser is simplistic. It was okay. I will stick to Firefox, though.

It's great. Good interface, I love how you can just get a new tab by pressing the plus button. Really fast and simple. I guess my only problem is spell check.

You've got that backwards. Anyway, Apple said they won't allow applications that compete with their own software (which includes anything they plan to implement in the future as well), and they've even acted on this policy on more than one occasion.

Love it but don't use it.

On my laptop, I can't scroll while browsing.

I can't write messages in hotmail.

I tried it out when it launched and used it quite a bit.
I don't use it as much any more, but I still open it up from time to time to test bugs and stuff for web sites.

Google Chrome is my favorite broswer.


It's fast, it's simple, it's smooth.

FireFox has more apps and it's more customizable, but I really don't use that stuff. 

So Chrome FTW.

I have it, but I don't use it. Firefox 3's addons are just too much of a convenience for me to switch.

To Red: There is an addon that allows you to do that in Firefox, it's called tab mixed plus I believe.

I can't use anything else since I've started using Chrome.  Firefox and IE feel so contrived and archaic now.  lol


I don't like how plug-ins sometimes won't install when they should.  However, with this still being in beta, it's understandable that there are some kinks to work out.

The only other thing I've had is occasional browser freezes where the only fix is to open an entire new Chrome window, then it unfreezes for some reason.  =  /

But yeah...definitely my browser of choice now.
