Is so fucking fast. Thats all i gotta say

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCgQDjiotG0

Using it right now and i can see a big different on page loading compare to the previous chrome. Still in beta but hell it work =)

[impactX]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA awesome ad.

[Kim Jong Un]

I just downloaded Chrome, I'm impressed.

[SkinnyPupp]

I'd be using Chrome as my main browser, except it crashes so much for me. Now my main browser is Pale Moon (http://www.palemoon.org/), which is basically just a Firefox build compiled for modern (post Athlon XP) processors with a bunch of useless crap removed. It is functionally identical otherwise.

[J____]

im still old fashioned and using IE8. fast enough for me.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

chrome since chrome was out. i love it. don't regret it. everyone should love it.

[Strzelec]

Its got fast loading times, but ive had some incompatibility issues on it. The adblock plugin for it too is TERRIBLE. And ironically enough, chrome runs slower on my netbook then firefox does

[Ilagon]

Using it on a MB. Way faster than Safari. Thanks OP!

[J____]

i havent jumped ship because downloading files on chromes is a PIA compared to IE. I cant figure out where to pull up the download progress window after i minimize it.

[_Hotsauce_]

Chrome is fast, I use it 75/25 with FF because of compatibility issues and yes, the adblocker sucks balls.

[Stevie P]

I have Chrome installed but I can't give up Adblock Plus.

[Hondaracer]

is this new chrome just the newest beta u can download from their site?

[CorneringArtist]

^ Yes.

I've switched over as well. Opera seemed a bit clunky for me, and whenever I try to re-install Firefox, my antivirus goes apeshit, and the browser crashes frequently and randomly redirects to some stupid ad. And yes, I've run a virus scan and nothing about the mystery infection has come up.

[way2quik]

I use Opera for my netbook. Google is improving and all, but the adblock plugin as mentioned above should be that of Firefox adblock plus before I make the switch.

[LiquidTurbo]

I have Chrome installed but I can't give up Adblock Plus.

There is Ad blocking available for Chrome..
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en

Works quite well actually. I love Chrome. I was a huge FF fan before, but the lightness and simplicity of Chrome really sold me.

[!Aznboi128]

I've been using chrome for a while and its awesome would not go back

[asian_XL]

I just switched to Chrome, just to try it out.
It's much quicker than IE and the setting is very similar too.

I care less about the adblocking issue for now since I have 100Mbps internet + large monitor + chrome loads fast!.

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah with today's PC's and internet speeds, I wonder why people see the need to block ads still. Most 'real' sites don't use obtrusive ads anyway, only the scammy pirate and porn sites do...

Makes me wonder how many people are blocking RS ads?

[LiquidTurbo]

For me I use ad blocker because of my small screensize and when I'm on my netbook, its makes it easier to see things. It's nice for google too, as it blocks out those 'sponsored' listings. Also, it blocks youtube ads which is awesome.

For RS, the AwesomeBar can't be blocked... which is pretty pro.

[Ferra]

does it have print preview yet??

I alway wanted to switch to chrome since i found firefox takes a much longer time to startup and load certain pages. (even the older version)

But no print preview really really turned me off.

[J____]

i just swtiched over to the beta. pretty awesome. a few nuisances is certain things dont open but i think it might be bugs of the beta, and also there's no option to just open or run a download like in IE, you have to download the file first which can get anoying when just trying to view an attachment without wanting to download it.otherwise im getting pretty used to it and it's super fast. The bookmark system can also be refined.

[StylinRed]

im still using firefox... except lately it crashes a lot.... and it takes up soooooo much memory (i know im supposed to clear history and dl list etc; but i like the history)

would u say chrome is better than FF? id download it to test it out but i hate downloading a tonne of trials/betas etc cuz im too lazy to do a clean up to wipe em out if i dont like em

[J____]

way better than ff imo. i hate ff, so slow

[DuhDang]

chrome is the shit lol

[Kim Jong Un]

I still use firefox because of their add-on, I'm used to using hot keys to launch my favorite sites and unfortunately chrome doesn't offer that.

[woob]

stuck on Opera. I cant live without mouse gestures and I dig my minimalist customization (especially after upgrading to 10.5).

[LiquidTurbo]

^
Ya Opera is nice too. Mouse gestures extension available on Chrome too.

[MaximalLazy]

Using chrome now, but cannot play youtube videos(embedded) on forum(sometimes).

[Jmac]

Opera owns everything for my needs. Mouse gestures, speed dial, customized inline searches, file hosting, media server, mail client, IRC client, account syncronization, etc. not to mention it already has ad-blocking and script-blocking capabilities built right in without having to install any add-ons.

[AzNightmare]

At 1:47, you can clearly see the mouse being clicked before the Lightning button gets pushed. :)

I've been using Chrome for the past 6 or 7 months now.
Can't go back to any other browser.

[hotjoint]

been using chrome since it came out. I like it way more then ie or ff

[way2quik]

Using chrome now, but cannot play youtube videos(embedded) on forum(sometimes).

youtube/flash videos causes Chrome to be unstable for me. Pretty sure it's already a known issue.

[rice cooker]

Anyone else having scrolling problems? Pointer always gets locked to the scroll bar so the page moves up/down with your mouse. So fucking annoying
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[striderblade]

i haven't encounter any stuff you guys listed. Flash worked for me and no problem with scrolling either. Only problem listed above is opera for me =P some site flash videos work and some doesn't. Not a bad browser just too much stuff in there for my liking. I prefer simple and clean.

[mb_]

Switched about 2 months ago. FF kept crashing for some reason and was noticeably slower than Chrome on some stuff. CHROME FTW! I still use Firefox when I need to though

[valent|n0]

I am still on firefox because of the adds on as well

but every time I fixed a friend's computer I always throw chrome in there cause its faster to download and install I think :P

[Expresso]

FF has been crashing a lot for me as well, so I'm giving Chrome a shot. I like how fast it is, but the biggest thing for me right now is you can't access your previous history through the address bar. Or am I missing something?

Try Opera. xD

[crazyazn]

how much has chrome improved since it was released...?

i tried it a while after it was released...and went back to FF

[Expresso]

Try Cntrl+H

Looking for something similar to ie/ff where you can just click the address bar and it brings up your most visited sites. Kind of pain to open a separate window to accomplish this.

[striderblade]

Hope this is what you guys are talking about. You can install this extension into chrome. You can even customize the look of the menu.

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fbmkfdfomhhlonpbnpiibloacemdhjjm

And here's another one. Could be better.

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ibbfkdncimehcofgjmgblfbjecdndkli

[crazyazn]

Haven't looked into this yet....but is there any way to make the scrolling in Chrome like Firefox with smooth scrolling?

[SkinnyPupp]

If there's a feature you want in chrome, look for an extension first. Chances are, it'll be there.

[LiquidTurbo]

Try googlin' bro.

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cccpiddacjljmfbbgeimpelpndgpoknn

[crazyazn]

^Thanks...but like I said I didn't even try to search yet...

After playing with Chrome for a bit, I don't see what lures people to switch from FF. I do like the minimalist layout though, when compared FF really seems quite bulky and takes up a lot of space even though I don't have any bars added on.

[striderblade]

i find this smooth scrolling extension better than the one posted above.

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/khpcanbeojalbkpgpmjpdkjnkfcgfkhb

[crazyazn]

I thought that I'd just give this thread a little bump:

Right now I'm using Opera as my main browser instead of Firefox. Sometimes it seems a bit slower, but the mouse gestures are fucking awesome...you can even make your own. And when you switch tabs there's something that pops up like when you alt+tab.

All in all, personally I really like Opera...even though it seems a bit slow sometimes...

And for you guys with Chrome, I totally understand why you guys endorse it, but personally I like Opera better and I think you guys should give it a try too.

[SkippyLang]

chrome has a long way before it becomes as user friendly as ff. its fast, ill give it that. maybe im just too used to ff

[ajax]

Switched over to chrome recently. Decision of the month.

So I gave these a try and its not really what I'm looking for. They pretty much display your current sessions history, whereas IE/FF will display your most visited sites regardless. Love the speed but that is a total game breaker for me.

[crazyazn]

One thing I noticed about Opera though, is that it uses quite a bit more memory than Firefox. So you might wanna consider that before you switch to it.

[Preemo]

Don't know if it matters but I ran benchmarks on Futuremark via the web and Chrome came out faster than Opera. On my system maybe by 1000 points. Anyways, other than the random Chrome window not re-opening after minimizing, going back to Firefox or Opera is tough.

You just can't beat searching through google via the Omni bar. (I think that's what it's called aka the address bar.)

[crazyazn]

^You can actually do that in Opera too. And plus they still have the search bar that let's you pick your own search engine located beside the address bar like in Firefox.

[SkinnyPupp]

Cool feature in Chrome: When using Gmail, try shift-clicking on an email

[LiquidTurbo]

How is it not as "user friendly"?

[SkippyLang]

Deleting history is a pain.
Getting to see your history is more difficult (yeah, being lazy).
I really liked how you can just click on the address bar to see your most frequent 12 pages. I know there's an extension, but it's not as good as the one in ff.
Can't sort bookmarks by name.
Whenever you move a bookmark from one position to the next, the folder closes.
When you use hotmail, whenever you click on the back button, it brings you not to the previous hotmail page, but the last different page like revscene.

I bet there's more I can think of. My 2 cents.

[SkinnyPupp]

-Options - Privacy - Clear browsing data

-Ctrl + H

-Either use the extension, or open a use the New Tab page which works the same but also shows screenshots of the pages. There are also extensions for this as well.

Can't sort bookmarks by name.
-No instead, you can sort it however you want and it STAYS THAT WAY forever, synced across ALL browsers wherever you use Chrome

Whenever you move a bookmark from one position to the next, the folder closes.

1. Deleting individual pages you've visited is difficult. You can't highlight a few of them and delete, but you have to click the check boxes.

2. I like a button beside the address bar like ff.

3. I said there is an extension but I don't like it.

4. So? Sorting by name is a pretty basic thing.

5. Whether you're moving bookmarks in the "other bookmarks" folder or folders on the bookmark toolbar, once you've moved it, the folder automatically closes.

6. You're at yahoo.com You open hotmail and you're at the inbox. You click your sent folder. When you click the back button, you're back at yahoo.com. In ff, you would be back in the inbox.

Yeah, come to Vancouver and I'll give you 2 cents for your troubles.

For all those Chrome users who complain about Adblock:

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=en

^Above link is for AdThwart. It uses the Adblock filter engine, and it actually stops loading the ads before the page is loaded; unlike adblock which just removes the ads after loading (ultimately saving bandwidth if you're concerned about that..)

Just make sure you add revscene to the whitelist so you dont filter their ads ;) Have fun!

**edit: It even removes the annoying ads in youtube videos!

[LiquidTurbo]

Awesome!!! It works amazingly well, thanks!

do these block all ads for you guys? Neither adblock or this program blocks the pop ups for me. New tabs and window ads still pop up when i have these? am i doing something wrong?

[way2quik]

Adblock has been updated to finally prevent downloads of ads, not just hide them. However, that function is in beta.

Yeah, I still get popups. When I used Firefox, popups never showed up for certain sites whereas IE and Chrome would pop up.
