Well
I think Chrome even if it´s not a beta anymore, it´s a very young browser, fast in fact but very limitated in other functions, maybe in a couple of years is going to be a great option, but by now I´ll stick to the majestic Opera!

nice browser ... shame its not on mac yet

Oh well,. yeah,. thanks for the info guys!!,. i am downloading now,. hehe,. last time i download before i format my PC, it say Google Chrome BETA,.

Some issues I run into (I've used it since day one of it's release to the public):
Flash videos work off and on. This seems to be consistent, I will go to play a youtube video and will need to restart the browser because the audio or video will not play.
Spellcheck sucks.
Very few add on's. Add on's are what make firefox so great.
Some pages just do not interact well with Chrome. If you go to a lot of message boards you know what I mean.
Highlighting anything is a PIA. Many times you will will try to highlight one individual word and end up with long blank fields. When you copy and paste it then just comes up blank with the whole field minus the word...WTF??
Other then those few things it's a great browser and I use it full time for work and play.

Ive got a portable version if anyone is interested and doesnt want to actually install it.
Send me a pm if you fancy it

I.M.O not enough to it yet, security wise i can beef up Firefox, don't like Google policies & i need a browser that works efectively on UMPC so Firefox 3 it is...

One of co workers installed chrome on my computer at work so I gave it a try. I started using it more and more since it starts up in half the time IE, or Firefox does. Since then I've been using it ever since. I don't need the fancy plug-ins from firefox and IE just plain sucks. Easy choice IMO.
Also its no longer in beta.

I would recommend switching to "SRWare Iron" as it is Chrome without all the Spyware Crap that Google put into the Browser (Unique ID, constantly running updater and stuff like that).
It is based on Chromium, which is the base for Google Chrome.
It even looks and handles the same as Chrome & Chromium...

I used Chrome since the beta because I preferred the look of it.
Thanks to this thread - I'm now using SRWare Iron which I'll keep an eye on too..
Cheers.

Oh, thankyou, so now i am not wrong if google chrome ever have a beta version,. lol

After I using Iron for a week I switched back to chrome. Spellcheck doesn't work, and its slower to load pages. The privacy issue isn't a problem because there are programs which remove your unique ID and you can simply disable sending google your browsing information in the options menu. The only thing that Iron has going for it over Chrome is a better looking icon.

Chrome Rocks!

I to have been using google chrome since the earlly beta.
to clear things up, There are two version available. Stable releases and a "developer" version (which is like a beta version.)
Personally i love the broswer for its speed but like already mentioned, it doesn't like all websites. I can't stand IE so i keep firefox around incase i have problems. Things are getting beter all the time for chrome though (for example it used to be almost useless for facebook and now its basically fully compatible) I'm proud to say its my default browser

This became a POLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the top if you know any other tell me! to include it!

Ok, voted already,.

What da...????
Who includes the Internet explorer 8 beta that dont includes the link to the download?
Come on guys... share it share it share it....!

Web Browser

Just out of curiosity, what web browser do you guys use on your computers?
On both my Linux and Windows machines, I use Google Chrome as my default, and Firefox rarely when Chrome cannot load something.

I´m sure I have seen another thread with this topic, but couldn´t find it...
Opera 10.50 is the best and fastest browser!

I did a search, and the only recent one I found was what web browser do you use on your phone.

Chrome!!! The best. Very fast and stable

Opera by far. And very much looking forward to the 10.5 alpha tomorrow, windows 7 integration and finally box-shadow, border-radius, and multiple backgrounds. And full support, which is more than any other browser can claim with their hacky vendor-prefix preview support.

Yeah me too!!!

Opera!!!!!!!
cause:
IE- sometimes bugy
Chrome - I tried it and didnt like it
Firefox - everyone uses it, and I hate to be like everyone!!!!
Safari - umm... its apple...

Firefox works very well for me

Firefox for me.

Firefox. Alone its as good as the next door browser. what makes it better then the rest is the sheer number of add-ons!!

recently switched from chrome to safari
and in spite of being apple thing i love it

Chrome. I might switch to Opera. Use to use it a couple of years ago an loved it. Got a new computer, and never installed it.

Firefox 4 Ever!!
i'm on 3.6 Beta 5 and 3.7 beta

So far, I'm not really surprised by the results. I did use Firefox as my default for many, many years. My good, non-obsolete laptop's motherboard fried not too long ago, and I'm stuck with some not-so-hot machines, and Chrome seems to run faster and smoother on both of them. IE is a bloodsucker. Try opening that on a lower end machine, and you will be waiting all day.

I used IE for many years before moving to Firefox, and I haven't regretted it at all. Opera's cool, but it doesn't have nearly the amount of extensions like Firefox. But when I'm tethering and need to conserve bandwidth, Opera (with turbo compression enabled) and Elinks (which is text based) are my two choices.

The once and future king: Test build of Opera crushes Chrome on Windows 7
Opera 10.50 pre-alpha, the fastest browser!
I wonder how faster will be when they launch the definitive version

From Betanews the results arrive from an intensive test with the last navigators, and anybody the results would have to surprise him after the pump that Norwegian boys dropped to us yesterday. Having as it bases of the index to IE7 (1.0) like the slowest navigator, we have to Opera 10.50 like outstanding winner (24.52), followed of Chrome (22.32), Safari/Webkit (20.83), Firefox (13.29) and finally IE8 (1.55). As you see Operates has advanced by the right to all the navigators, Chrome and Safari follow to him close by, Firefox remains in the middle of way and IE8 advances but it continues playing in another league. And all this considering that the motor is incomplete and that certain elements have not been purified (like the tables).
In order to realise these tests has chosen ten batteries of tests of different authors, to measure the compatibility and rapidity of the navigator in CSS, Javascript, tables, canvas, elements 3D, etc. Some tests as the V8 de Chrome or the Dromadeo de Mozilla has not considered because they are not proportional. In addition, these navigators have executed themselves on Windows 7, system for which supposedly all of them are optimized. What seems to you, agree these results with your perception?

chrome here! but im looking for firefox soon!

Google chrome all the way
I chose Google Chrome because it is the best for me.
Internet Explorer-Takes too long to start up and takes even longer to go to a webpage. It crashes a lot and I just hate it.
Firefox-Good but takes too long to start up and little too long to get to a web site. I like the add-ons you can put on.
Opera- Never Tried It.
Google Chrome is fast to start up and fast to get to a webpage. It is starting to get some add-ons like Firefox and since Google is developing it you know that it is going to be good. I only use Firefox if Google Chrome cannot load something for some strange reason.

Which Web Browser??

which web browser is the best on your computer?
right now i have
Chrome
Firefox
Opera

I like opera. The last version (11) is very good.

I'm going to go with Chrome. I havve been using it exclusively for over a year now.
Fast, simple, clean, and easy. Also is light on resources and lets me do a lot of things in tthe background along with a ton of windows open.

Chrome has some problems with java sometimes so I switched to FireFox.
-FireFox has a slow start up n loading pages...
-Chrome had a fast start up and fast page loading but sometimes pages won't load so I had to press refresh.
-Opera had problems to when loading some java pages..

Google Maps adds Download Map Area

This is a feature that some of us have been requesting for a longgggg time, and it is finally here.
It is especially helpful for Nooks, since they don't have cell phone.
In Google Maps 5.7 - just released - go to Labs, and enable Download Map Area, and then, when you have Wifi access, you can download maps onto your Nook for places you are going to.
Then later, when you don't have Wifi access (because you are not home, nor in a hotel, coffee store or library), you can still use the downloaded maps to find your way ... to somewhere with Wifi access.
Thanks to Ole, the dev at Google for this feature.

Very cool. Will have to try it out.

Except the d/l maps only cover 10 square miles. It's hardly effective at doing anything except routing you over to your neighbors.

No, it is a 10 mile square = 100 square miles. And you can download more than one area if you want. But you cannot do routing on downloaded maps, so this is probably more interesting for pedestrians than for drivers.

Just tried this, and it's actually 10 miles in each direction from the point you select, which means 20x20 miles = 400 sq. miles.
Only problem, where does it download the map to? I've got 7.0.3 running from my SD card. And yes, I'm new, or I'd probably know the answer.

Found the download location. Open the maps app (even though you're offline), menu/More/Cache Settings/Downloaded map areas.
Totally cool feature, OP is right. I prefer not to use a GPS, this'll come in handy.

Hell yes! Now I can download maps for all of the areas I may frequent and have them ready to go, no need to tether (painfully, mind you) with my GhettroPCS data...
Tested by downloading a map area that I hadn't cached before, turned off my wifi, and then zoomed into the square. Voila, all the street names appeared and the correct zoom-level map tiles loaded.
It takes only seconds to download map areas on WiFi.

Nice feature!

Nice feature, but still fairly worthless as it limits the downloads to 10. Perhaps the next update will allow you to cache a reasonable amount of maps.....

It's only 10sq miles at a time, you can just keep adding on more and more, I've cached the whole of greater Phoenix, Tempe and Sun City Arizona. This will definitely come in handy for me... if they add offline routing all the better...

I mean you can only have 10 squares cached at any one time. And in a state like NM, you need all the squares you can get.

I have quite a few 10sq mi areas cached, and let me tell you, the ladies love it!

"What we have here is.... failure... to communicate."
The squares for the city look good, but MY complaint is that basically, i would like to cache my entire state (I love being outdoors and on the road, and having a variety of maps available is always a good thing). But because you can only have 10 squares at any one time, the caching is still worthless to me (cached city data is not what i need. I need data on the boonies).

Help! 4.2 update erased my bookmarks!

All of my bookmarks have been erased by the 4.2 update! Is there anything I can do to get them back? I am talking about the local bookmarks.
Actually, the update erased everything related to my browser: bookmarks, saved passwords, search options etc.

Chrome Browser?
Did you get OTA update or did you do something to get it?

Stock browser. OTA, just popped out of nowhere (didn't even know 4.2 was out until it showed) and I thought "why not"? Well that answers why not. I do have a backup of the bookmarks but it's over 2 months old and many are missing, probably lost forever unless someone here has any ideas on how to get them back. The missing bookmarks were the result of many hours of web searches I did at some point researching a topic and I'd really hate to think of all that wasted time. I never imagined an update would erase my bookmarks, it never happened with previous ones.
(I could never figure in titanium backup how to do scheduled backups of the bookmarks only and nothing else)

If you visit each & every site that you had bookmarked you'll find that you can tap on the star in the address bar & bookmark them all over again.

Do you happen to have the same Book Marks on your Phone or maybe your Computer. Do you use Chrome Browser on your Computer... If not i recommend it. It as well other desktop / phone browsers will give you the option to sync them across devices.. I LOVE This feature.
Now as far it being a near end of earth catastrophe About loosing book marks. It has happened to me in the past. I just had to search for the sites i use again. I also found i had way more book mark sites then i actually use.
I think this is what the above comment meant about . Just go back to the sites and Re add them.. Some of the Inter-webs and company links are not so easy and i do feel for you for loosing them..
Good Luck.. Chrome will not get them back but could prevent this in the future..

I don't use chrome. I have tried hard to like it, and failed. It is counterintuitive for me.
Like I said, those bookmarks were the result of many hours of research (product availability for a narrow niche market, very hard to find). I didn't have them anywhere else. I guess I will have to waste more hours to find them again.
Anyway, the 4.2 update gets a big thumbs down from me.

For future reference, there are are apps in the play store that will back up your bookmarks.
I've lost plenty of bookmarks myself over the years. Until I started backing them up with
A third party app.

Like I said, I use Titanium Backup and it does a good job at it, but I haven't figured out how to make it regularly backup my bookmarks only. I don't want to do a full system backup on a daily basis. I backup the bookmarks manually, but I have to remember doing that. The last time I remembered was on Sept 29th.
Another app I tried, Bookmark Sort&Backup has the nasty habit of reversing the order of my bookmarks every time I start it. (yeah I know, just run it twice) It has no automation built in it either, so all operations have to be done manually. Comes down to memory again.

That would be something nice to see in titanium... The closest you can get is to schedule
A backup for modified data. But it backs up all modified data, not individual apps.
(Pro version)
(Edit) Just realized that TB does backup individual apps with modified
Data on a schedule... If you create a filter for just that app.

I use chrome and all my bookmarks are still there. However on one game it cleared my history of winning games. No big deal.
