Who is using Chrome as your default web browser?
Switched back to Chrome as default when it came out of beta. - Mohamed J
w00t! - Adam Lasnik
Was about the ask the same question - Varun Mahajan
Waiting stable mac version - Icekahlua
Still on Firefox. I would love to switch to Chrome, but I need my extensions and toolbars. - Ray Metzen
They don't care for the Mac, I don't care for Chrome. - Dimitrios Diamantaras
waiting native linux version - Onur Gündüz
I'm a Google Chrome user by default (on my home laptop). - Mike Reynolds
I am. Since the day it came out. Ad-block using windows HOSTS file. :-) - vijay
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. - Warren Butler
this guy does -> - Chris Hofmann
I'm on Chrome but I miss Firefox often. - Mitch
I'm Chrome all the way! - 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. - 拓 | wavesand
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. - Dee S.
Waiting for Mac version - Raman Ng
bingo! - sG
yes, when on windows. - thinkingit
I'm a Mac user. A no for me right now. - Lin
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). - Ayo
I decided today to change form FF to Chrome! - psioniks
+1 - Adi
Me. - AJ Batac
me too - metalerik
i use firefox only..... at least, till now :) - yagami
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. - Chris Gardner
No extensions, No use for it. That's the way I see it. Sure is fast though - Brandon Hall
I do. The only thing i miss is mouse guestures and xmarks. - Mario
i do. Faster, harder, faster, better, faster, stronger :) - Stanislas Jourdan
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.... - Canageek
