Chrome is default on my work laptop, but waiting for Linux version for home PC. To be honest, I don't miss extensions that much, except for Mozilla Weave. I have (re)discovered bookmarklets. I would prefer to have "/" to start a search instead of ctrl-f.

- Tyler (Chacha)
Been using Chrome (as my default) since day one. =)
- deepikaur
I haven't even used it ever. This is mostly because i'm on Linux though...
- Tom Ribbens
from IM
I have never used it because I'm on a Mac. I do use Windows but this is the bigger issue: why do I need another new browser? What's wrong with Firefox? I have tons of add ons that I love and can't see browsing the net without them. Flock is a good one with its unique features. Even Orca has something unique about it. It doesn't seem like Chrome offers enough of a new dimension to browsing that I should really care. Why bother? If they're gonna make a browser, why wouldn't they give us a reason to switch?
- Nathan Mylott
Nathan: I disagree to a point. As noted before, I haven't tried it, but supposedly javascript performance is way better than anything that was out when they first released Chrome. This is major in today's world I believe. I'm an avid user of Meebo, and it often is very noticable that Meebo is a javascript application that actually is too heavy for many browsers.
- Tom Ribbens
I also read Firefox is taking on the battle with Chrome and is working on optimizing its javascript engine too. For this, I thank Chrome for making my browser of choice faster, and therefor making my IM client of choice also faster.
- Tom Ribbens
Nathan, you raise good points there. What attracts me to Chrome are its speed, particularly re javascript as Tom pointed out too, the clean UI and the option to create desktop shortcuts for frequently used websites. What keeps me using Firefox is mostly the extensions and toolbars I don't want to do without. However, there are also things that bug me in Firefox (most notably the huge memory footprint), and that's why I'm on the lookout for another default browser.
- Ray Metzen
I switched from Firefox to Chrome as well. Speed, thanks to the optimization for javascript, is the major issue, especially when I'm using my Vista-powered HP 2133. I'm not sure how long Google can keep me on Chrome, but I must say thank you to them, 'coz they push the browser war to another level.
- Jansen Lu
I would like to but no addon support yet. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
I've been on-and-off the chrome, but decided to switch fulltime when it came out of beta.
- Sung W. Lim
firefox is better to me.

Chrome is default for all things not SEO-related. For SEO i need plugins and toolbars, which leaves Firefox/Flock as the only option.
- Egor Kunovsky
Chromium nightly builds for me! Chrome is great. It loads up everything so much faster then FF, and I love the all-in-one search/address bar and inbuilt memory manager.
- Will Higgins™
For me, it can't be default without addon support. So for now FF is still my default but I do use Chrome for few things.

I've been on and off Chrome for about a month. I'd say I use it ~70% of the time. Most days I'm impressed with its speed - but some days (like today) I get tired of having to hunt down rss feeds and being unable to use add-ons (especially adblock plus).

Using Chrome as default but also have a screen with Firefox because I like Feedly, Google Bookmarks, Extensions. Tabs can be dragged and dropped Chrome to Firefox and back quite easily (just URL)
- Julian Edward
Yep, I do.

No extensions, No use for it. That's the way I see it. Sure is fast though

I do. The only thing i miss is mouse guestures and xmarks.

i do. Faster, harder, faster, better, faster, stronger :)

I did til today. The new dev build make mine crashes every two minutes. I'm back on Fx 3 til the next update. Good to keep up with Fx improvements!
- Jérôme Flipo
I also noticed that some websites make chrome beta version crash (facebook particularly). that's quite annoying but it doesn't happen so often to me.
- Stanislas Jourdan
For the last month Chrome has been my default. I've noticed that I don't need all the extentions from Firefox. Bookmarklets works for the most part (for me). The biggest reason why I use Chrome is the speeeeeeeed!:)
- Patrik Johansson
a larger screen is also appreciable :). As Patrik said, many extensions are not so important. The most important thing is the content in the middle ;)
- Stanislas Jourdan
I was using Chrome, now I'm using Firefox B4, might switch back, but a clean install made Firefox so nice and snappy, which was why I was using Chrome....

Republicans Declare 2010 as Year of the Bible - http://digg.com/politic...
"You would think that this whole religion issue would have been taken care of some time ago, but unfortunately, it seems that we have a problem with integrating "different" people into our society. African Americans had to suffer before getting their rights. Then, women had to fight for their rights as well. Now, gay rights is up. I wonder how many more trivial things we'll have to go through before we realize that we're all people, no matter what ethnicity or religion (or lack of), and that we should all be treated equally.."

100k would be enough to pay off all of our debt: house, car, student loans, cards, everything. That means we'd have a lot of extra cash every month, or could loose one of our jobs without feeling it too badly.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I'd like my 30k 401k back. Alternatively, if I were making $10 more an hour I could rebuild it myself.
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
$300k would do it. I'd like to be able to afford a bigger house with a garage and a basement. I could also use a newer vehicle.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Why Are Bloggers Writing Shorter And Shorter Posts? - Web Development Blog - http://www.velvetblues.com/web-dev...
Ken Stewart | ChangeForge, mjc, jjprojects and 33 other people liked this
"Have you noticed? Bloggers these days seem to be writing shorter and shorter articles, with many of the longer ones artificially inflated with images. So what’s up with this trend? And why is it starting to dominate the industry? From The Experts: Go Short and Snappy! According to the experts, readers want simple easily-digestible content, that can be quickly read or scanned. And, as Seth Godin points out on his blog, there is stiff competition online. Writing shorter posts gets your point across quickly without giving visitors a chance to leave. He states: Realize that people have choices. With 80 million other blogs to choose from, I know you could leave at any moment (see, there goes someone now). So that makes blog writing shorter and faster and more exciting. So is short the way to go? Maybe. There are indeed advantages to writing short posts which include:"
- Internet Strategist
from Bookmarklet
This is bullshit. Go back to my blog from 2004 and you will see mostly one-paragraph posts.
- Robert Scoble
People will read long well written posts, but since most of us aren't very good writers short posts do less damage to readers.
- Todd Hoff
Phrases like "seem to be" are useless. You need to have some facts to back up your assertions (which are probably true; my shorter, image-filled posts tend to get much more feedback than longer, more thoughtful ones). Without data, however, you have no thesis.
- Glen Mistletoe
depends on the blogger ~ I'd wish some would write shorter posts
- sofarsoShawn
Pretty soon, people are going to stop reading all together, because everyone is going to have ADD.
- Brad Williamson
Good points Robert and Glen. Some bloggers write almost all short posts, others mostly long researched posts, and some a mix of both. LOL @ godd and sofarsoshawn. @Glen You do know I just shared this here and that quote is from the post? I didn't write it and the person who did isn't very likely to see this here.
- Internet Strategist
we should send the dumbass these comments
- sofarsoShawn
There's a short-term traffic driving strategy: write something controversial to get lots of discussion going. Probably wouldn't pay off in the long run in this case though.
- Internet Strategist
I must have missed the memo :) My take is as long as it needs to be to tell the story. Yours?
- Valeria Maltoni
The only reason one has to consider such things is if the goal is pageviews/ $. Otherwise, it is a non-issue.
- coldbrew
yeah right...so how many blogs did you look at???
- Rob Sellen :o)
I think it's a mix of $$$ and laziness too
- Bibi
Some people today have extremely short attention spans and just skim through valuable content. Because they don't have time or because there's just a LOT of content they're following. So maybe [some] bloggers are writing shorter posts to hold this group's attention? Just my guess. But to me, it's not about the length, but about the quality.
- deepikaur
The length of the post depends on the depth of the content you're posting. The masses probably DO prefer short, simple content. Thinkers know that exceptional results require more detail. You'll see the same thing with the number of posts someone reads. Drive a bunch of traffic from Twitter and your bounce numbers will go up to around 70%. When someone is researching they'll read far more posts at one time.
- Internet Strategist
test.... too many assumptions. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Why not?
- Sean
Data on the subject would be interesting. Intuitively, I would assume the rules of traffic generation lead to short posts because (and this is my feeling with no data) traffic is generated by: outrageous claims, single undeveloped interesting ideas, inflammatory posts, and quick reads (top X lists). All of those tend to lead to shorter posts. Again, real data would be fascinating.
- mikepk
Personally I would rather ready shorter blogs, just because of the limited amount of time I have to put into reading all the post that come into my RSS reader.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Two other points, I don't think it's laziness... getting traffic is hard work. Also I don't know if this would hold for all bloggers, since the end goal of most is not necessarily generating raw traffic numbers.
- mikepk
Every time John Resig finishes a sentence, my mind explodes. If your feeds don't challenge you like this with every post, unsub. You are doing yourself a disservice by subbing stuff that doesn't enthrall you!
- mjc
as someone who tends to write long posts on WinExtra it is often really hard to write the shorter format on The Inquisitr. They both have their value but I think it is partly to do with your target audience. That sid I have tried to write shorter posts on WinExtra but it's hard when the ideas just keep flowing. Are we suppose to just shut up because of a fear of alienating readers with a growing lack of attention?
