Chrome is probably the most efficient browser I've seen to date. But maybe that's coz I'm not that old to have seen every browser to date. :)

Started Chrome before FF, in fact I don't even have FF open yet.

i am digging it too. weird thing happened to me this morning though. i was in facebook and only certain major nav links were working. I had to revert to firefox.

I haven't launched Firefox since Chrome came out.

I'm using Chrome on 2 of my PCs as my primary browser -- it's faster and feels better. Still using Firefox on my Mac, because, well, it's a Mac. :)
- Thomas Hawk
Running Chrome on the PC's and Omniweb on the Mac.
- Richard Peat
feels like I run into more and more crashes tho..that's kinda a bad thing

I've been using Chrome off and on. It doesn't support NTLM so at work I use FF, because I don't want to login to every site. @Imran, lynx was probably the most efficient, but then it was text only.

A lot of spin out there that seems to conveniently ignore the fact that this is Chrome 1.0. You think its just going to go away or something? They'll fix the bugs. And Google has quietly encircled Microsoft, and can now slowly choke off their bloodflow. Lots of users (think parents) can now turn on a computer using a non-MS OS, use a Google browser, to read their Google mail, surf the web, and do a couple spreadsheets and WP on google docs, that's all they need, and also they don't have to worry about disk crashes or viruses. The desktop is DEAD. Hear me now, believe me later.

Glad Google didn't just release a desktop client, then.

Yeah starting is much faster. only takes a few seconds even with other apps loading, Firefox takes forever. :-( Shame there is no ad-blocking with Chrome, hope that'll come in future versions

I had some issue with Flickr that made me flee back to FF. Can't recall what it was.

Startup time is only relevant if you actually close your browser once in a while. I can't remember the last time I did that.

why why why name your tech blog LiveCrunch... :(

History is accessible by either right-clicking or hold-left-clicking the back arrow. Took me a bit to find that. Like it so far.
- Andrew Smith
it's now set as my default browser.. even though FF is still better for developing currently
- Stefan Hayden
- love it too. Just miss the bookmarklets and add-ons the fox gives you!

It is just so quick to anticipate the website I am typing. It usually gets it after two letters. Fantastic!
- Barak B
I've been using it almost exclusively. Even with some Sharepoint sites I use for work and a fantasy football draft.

I no longer really remember the Chrome startup time, because we've not stopped/quit Chrome since it was installed, nor have we had to. I'd have killed/restarted Firefox a couple dozen times (at least) over the same time period, and IE probably a few times, too. Opera...hard to say, but it doesn't matter anyway. ;)
- abacab
I like the feature of 'task manager' for browser, and thats helps keep me running chrome forever, wont have to kill it if some site creats an issue

Has anyone noticed a lag when loading javascript/ajax call heavy pages? It seems that the javascript/ajax call has to completely finish before the page will show, FF and IE don't lag but chrome does.
- Shawn McCollum
now if it only have a plug-in for friendfeed
- Dave Hodson
+1 Eric... I only "stop" Firefox when I am updating an extension.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
have they said when they will introduce the mac version?
- Johnny Sewell
it has a long way to go but I still enjoy using it. For some odd reason it doesn't like to scroll with my trackpad so I can't use it on my laptop. Certain sites it just won't work with and I've run across a few PNG and font rendering issues. I look forward to seeing how it develops
