Comments on: Why I gave up on Google Chrome – After 2 months http://www.thejunglemap.com/post/310 Hippo Internet Marketing Blog : Your Map to the Jungle of Internet Marketing by Hippo Internet Marketing Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Brent Friar http://www.thejunglemap.com/post/310#comment-1712 Brent Friar Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:14:07 +0000 http://www.thejunglemap.com/post/310#comment-1712 Like you I can't live without my FF add ons, however I am sold on Chrome. I use it for surfing when I am not working. It's faster and recovers from problems much more elegantly that any other browser. I too have Safari, Opera, FF, Chrome, and IE installed but the bulk of my browsing is Chrome/FF. Chrome may not last, it depends on how fast FF adopts the new multi-process model. Clearly Chrome has some ground breaking features and ideas that will likely find their way in to other browsers in the near future. If nothing else, they have blazed a new trail that MS will be forced to look in to whether they like it or not. The lifespan of Chrome I think will depend on how soon we start seeing Chrome extensions. If Chrome gets extensions soon enough it might become a viable full time browser. If not, we'll have to wait for FF to integrate the Chrome code to get our best of both worlds product. Like you I can’t live without my FF add ons, however I am sold on Chrome.

It's ironic that you can't even see the visible Google PageRank from within Chrome. (Oh brother!) Yes. It’s ironic that you can’t even see the visible Google PageRank from within Chrome.

Obviously this is very first impressions, but... I like that it automatically imported my IE bookmarks, a major reason I don't use FireFox frequently. I don't like that I can't pin the bookmarks list for easy access. I like that it asks to save passwords, but I don't like that it allows for only a single password per site, and overrides others (like you, I have more than one account at some sites). I don't like that my form filler is not compatible...but that might change soon (maybe? hopefully? I sent them a support request, so we shall see). What I am surprised about is that the Google Toolbar is not automatically installed. BTW, I use FireFox mostly for SEOquake, which these past few days does not seem to be functioning. I also have Search Status loaded and I really should make better use of it. I'll check out the other two ones you suggest. Interesting post, because I just downloaded Chrome.

I find it very interesting that you actually do use several browsers. As mentioned, I tried that for about two months and just found it impractical. Thanks for your comments.

I use Safari for personal every day browsing, it has no plugins, but it's fast. I use flock for social media, it's geared towards it and keeps me on top of my SM tasks. I use firefox for web-development, like you said nothing beats the WDT. I use Chrome when I need to have a faster java or flash experience. It just does a better job than them all and is very quick at it. I use IE.. oh wait.. I hate IE. I use IE only to repair the damage good CSS does in a misinterpreted bastardization of it. hehe. I'd use it as a boat anchor if I could. The point is they all have a purpose and they are all in some form of flux. Safari, Flock, and FF all suffer from quick bloat. It doesn't take long for me to see a multi-gig footprint of bad garbage collection. Chrome is at least making that easier to manage by process control. I look forward to seeing where they go and how they are developed, but with Chrome's usage rising to what, 3% in such a short time I doubt it's just a passing trend. Especially if it goes the direction they want it to. Now if they'd just launch their OSX version. -andy I use Safari, Flock, Firefox and Chrome.
