I’m lovin’ google chrome. I have tryed out safari, IE, firefox and oprah, but chrome is perfect for me. The combination of the speed from browsers like safari and oprah, but on the other hand the big number of extensions like adblock etc. from firefox. Also the security is really good. This makes me a very happy man :D

I have to second Steve’s motion that Opera is the way to go with older OSs, but shouldn’t be discounted on the newer ones either. I’m experimenting with their version 10.10 64bit Beta on Kubuntu 9.10. Last week I put Opera 10.50 on a customer’s Vista box and was very pleased to see the whites of his eyes when he launched it. ‘Course all he had to compare it with was IE and Firefox, neither of which can compete for speed. Chrome might well have been competition for Opera on Vista.

I’ve been watching and documenting (my IIQIndex linked above) browser patterns for a couple of months now and Chrome hasn’t bitten into Firefox’s market share yet, but IE is really taking a nose dive.

Older PCs? Chrome does not work before Windows XP!

For older PCs, I use Linux (eg. MacPup http://macpup.org/ ).

If you want to stay with Windows (2000, ME, etc) Opera is the browser to pep it up.

I’d been having a long term problem with Safari and had put Firefox on my mac osx, there was considerable improvement but thought i’d still give Chrome a go. The improvements improved on the last not just with my connection but with the whole overall look and ease at which i was able to use the application and the more mac users i talk to all seem to agree that macs Safari is already out of touch and out of date with the growing demands of browser users.

Chrome has extended the life on older PCs. For about a year I’ve been recommending Chrome to some friends and family who were whining about how slow their PCs have gotten, and I have only received “Thank-You! Thank You!”’s in response!
