    Just wanted to inform everyone about Google Chrome. It's an awesome new web browser made by, you guessed it Google. I started using it today and I can already say for sure it far out paces Explorer and Firefox. Start up time is much faster, page loading is faster and it has some interesting new features. Google it if you want to give it a try.

    Chrome has been around for awhile now and I've been using it ever since it came out. Great browser IMO but I wish some websites would update so all of their features are compatible with Chrome. I've run across some places that won't work with Chrome.

    I have used google chrome and its a decent browser. Have also used the apple safari but I still think Firefox is the best out there at the moment.

    IE has just gone downhill consistently over the years.

    The problem with chrome, is it tracks and sends data back to Google. Not a big deal if your not breaking the law, but I'm not a fan of companies watching everything I do.

    Have you seen the incognito browser in Chrome? It doesn't keep track of anything.

    That's the same as Firefox's private browsing function. It doesn't store your history or typed urls to your computer. Doesn't mean its not going to google. They make the money off of serving ads based on your usage. All their programs do this.

    Think about it. Google didn't creat chrome without huge profits in mind. ADS ADS ADS. How do you sell ADS to potential customers? Show them the target audience you have been tracking :)

    Personally I do not care about google knowing where I browse. As for ads, google ads are not bothersome at all. You dont get pop-ups or anything with chrome.
