I liked Safari pretty much right off the bat after I had used Firefox for quite a long time. it offered a cool pane of top visited sites and seemed to be very customizable. Pages loaded decently fast and it was never a problem to find a plugin. However, it wasn't very compatible with many services, struggled with video, and crashed quite frequently when multiple windows were open.
Firefox was pretty decent, but I never really liked the style of what was going on. It offered some cool features, and worked very well with streaming any kind of video. I started having a few crashing problems and it would freeze up from time to time, so I didn't use it as my main browser.
Chrome offers many of these things. You can customize the theme of the browser and the layout of every single little piece. It's very fast and launches quicker than any other program on my computer. When an individual tab freezes, it will only close that tab rather than the whole program. So far, I don't have a single complaint, other than the fact that Netflix doesn't work on it. This is why I keep Firefox around. Chrome also offers the top site pane and a customizable dashboard.
All in all, Chrome was a good choice. It works well and looks cool. Anyone else out there using Chrome?
I haven't tried it yet--does it work on the Mac?
ReplyDeleteI've used it but didn't care enough--after reformatting my computer I never redownloaded it--I actually still use Internet Explorer. People say that it's a waste of time to not use something like FireFox.
ReplyDeleteMeh, I'll stick with my IE and if I ever think of it I may switch to Chrome... Any really interesting plug-ins?
I use it on a mac, and it runs pretty fast like I said. Themes are interesting, but I haven't really come across any cool plugins. I think the interface is where its at and how well it organizes downloads.
