    Re: Google Chrome

    Yeah, I prefer FF too after many years of using it. Very easily configures to suit individual needs with the addition of a few extensions. Tried FF3 recentlytoo but after a couple of weeks, I had to go back to FF2.xx as FF3 was causing some strange screen lockups and truncation of webpages randomly. After going back to FF2.xx, everything works as sweet as nut again... 8-)

      Not sure how recent you meant by recently but you might want to revisit Mal. I experienced similar quirks to what you described. Now its up to ver 3.01 in seems to have settled down

          Re: Google Chrome

          Ive filed Chrome in the "nice first attempt, but doesnt work across all sites & runs only on windows."  Sounds awefully like IE 5 to me...  Or as the realestate agents would put it...  Its "Pure Potential"

          I do like the cleaner UI, but the stepped scrolling really bugs me.  As did the fact that it doesnt work with some aspects of facebook.  I dont know about you, but Id have tested the thing on the worlds largest social networking site before launch, even in beta form.

          Ive also been giving Ubiquity a try in firefox, and can see a lot of potential for improving the user experience with it, even if you avoid the "command line" syntax & just use the context menu for the default behaviours.  In page translation is very cool for example, as is searching by highlighting a word on a page & entering a couple of key strokes.
          Actually, I wonder if we could do a set of coffeesnobs commands for ubiquity. For example, highlight a bean in bean-bay, then use the "blend" command to search the blending room forum for posts containing that bean 8-)

            Well Chrome is still a beta version. Having said that, Gmail still appears as BETA after about 4 or 5 years

                What do you notice as the biggest diff compared to IE7?

                  It has a compatibility view button next to the refresh button to accommodate sites made for older browsers (I had to use this for Coffee Snobs on the answer/reply post section)

                  If you highlight a section of text a blue arrow button comes up when you press it will search the net with those parameters

                  It also has private browsing – nothing goes to history when set-
                  Smart screen filter Help to protect you against deceptive and malicious websites which can compromise your data, privacy, and identity.

                  That’s all I have got to so far
                  But please have a look at the MS IE8 site as it has plenty more info

                      Re: Google Chrome

                      Everything I mentioned above has a drop down button to set, make changes or cancel at any time
                      Page button, Safety Button, Tools Button
                      Everything else like Favourites ect is all the same as before

                        Meanwhile back at the Google Chrome ranch:

                        Someone potsed this comment about GC on another email forum:

                        havent shut it down for 3 days, continuously opening new tabs and closing them..  right now I have 3 tabs opened and it is using 52MB of ram..  not bad, firefox would be upto about 260MB now and IE...  well, 500MB??

                        Someone else added:

                        Very very fast, especially loading objects out of cache but doesnt support a bunch of stuff yet - embedded objects and weirdly the touchpad side-scrolling feature to scroll down pages.

                            Google Chrome will not show the regular look of "Quote"
                            Normally one gets a green box with white writing

                            Google chrome just gives you a different colour text on "Quote" without box
