Google Chrome browser

[tony.mon]

I'm trying out the newly-released Chrome browser, and I have to say I'm impressed with the speed compared to ie latest version.

It'll take a bit of getting used to, but seems noticeably quicker, IMHO.

Anyone else tried it?

Installed it yesterday, had a quick play, need more time using it, jury's still out

bin using about 3 months, by far the fastest but not fully compatible with security particularly with site using windows drm, defo worth using though.

Being an avid fan and user of Opera's browsers for many years, I decided to give Google Chrome a try

I use it sometimes, as with Opera, Safari and Firefox.

Find it a bit too basic. I do like Safari though.

Ive just started using Chrome today

Internet explorer kept freezing/crashing at least every half hour ,with warnings saying Internet explorer is experiencing problems ,then Internet Explorer is searching for solutions ,then i'd lose the page /website i was on . This was happening only on my setting/account ,both the kids settings worked without problem.

TBH Chrome was the ONLY one i could download and use , i did try to download Firefox then Opera , but after downloading them i couldnt find them anywhere

The only problem i have now with Chrome is if im on a 'site and there is a small demonstration video for example ,it says ive got to download Adobe movie plug-in , and that ive got to exit Chrome to do this

Not sure why, but if i then say "fook it",and open the same 'site with Internet Explorer the wee video then plays fine , so the said required plug-in must be installed on my pc

Anyway ,Chrome seems faster and at least my pc is working ok now

That would be Adobe Flash player I'm thinking - and you'll need to install the plugin version for Chrome for it to work. You have a version that works with Internet Explorer but that for Chrome is slightly different. There are issues with Chrome, and Flash is one of them. You'll find a How-To here [one of many posts on the subject] http://www.coderetard.com/2008/10/22/ho ... le-chrome/

Chris ,
many thanks ....but that could be in Chinese for all i understand it

I'll wait till my brother-in -law pays a visit ,he's quite clued up when it comes to pc's

IE7 and Firefox have the plug ins for Adobe player already installed. As Hankie says, if you use a different browser then you may have to download the plug in.

TBH, I only use several browsers as I set the home pages dependant on project, rather than having loads more bookmarks. Out of all of them though, I prefer IE7 over the others, although Safari does look better

Paul (Stratman), are you not using IE8 yet
