Mayer Closes The Door On Chrome's Beta Tag

Removal now official

4 Comments

No reason to switch

At this point, I personally see absolutely no reason to switch, because FF performs so well and incorporates so many plugins. It's pretty tough to improve on something so good.

Wins on speed

Chrome is definitely speedy. I normally use Firefox, and I have a few plugins on it, but it takes a while to load and gets clogged up quickly with multiple tabs open.

Chrome is super-fast and loads in an instant (that's first loading up by the way, not loading up actual pages). If it can keep that speed and stability when there's loads of plugins out and installed, it wins for me.

Firefox vs. Chrome?

I switched from IE to Firefox primarily for the increased speed. If Chrome can provide the same or better speed, as well as the features of Firefox, I will consider switching to Chrome.

I don't have time to set up and test Chrome, so I will have to rely on users reviews. The jury is still out.

I installed Chrome the day

I installed Chrome the day that it came out just out of curiosity. I didn't think there was much there, I left it on my machine and used it rarely. I updated Chrome on Friday when I saw that the beta had been removed and there was an actual release. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. There is a marked difference in the speed of browsing vs. IE and a pretty decent boost vs. Firefox. I use IE and Firefox somewhat regularly, and although Chrome still has some issues (our website CMS will not work with Chrome, nor will Netflix Instant at home) I'm finding it to be a very stable and very fast browser. I'll be interested to see what types of plugins come online in the next few months.
