Google should be targeting

Google should be targeting IE and not Firefox.. why does it still pack IE for users? Google took most of the technology from Mozilla so what it is doing back to Mozilla is not good..

What about the best lot cat? you never know when one might go mad and then cackland wouldn't be in it. There might be a few art barts here but eh? Three of these is not worth 11 of them but I don't care if it does start raining shit. I still don't think it's worth bringing five elephants from foobi doo land.

Aye not half. three of them

Aye not half. three of them is not but then, astid the third might bang off any minute. If it was the same it wouldn't be different. I don't really think that bally high is worth more bart faces unless it starts raining shit.

Chrome is horrible

I downloaded google chrome to test it out. It was sparse and lacking. It locked up frequently, and didn't display the pages any faster then any of my other browsers, and didn't come close to Firefox. But IE is still a POS. MS and Google are doing the exact same things. Making things look pretty. I guess it appeals to bimbos and mimbos who like shiny baubles, but I look for functionality not how pretty the browser is. It could look like a total POS but if it did a great job I wouldn't care.

But as my dad always said, "Chrome don't get you home."

Chrome Still Locks Up

Chrome works great on Google properties but frequently locks up when I try to use it on other sites. Firefox (recommended) or Opera (or Safari on a Mac) is the way to go for a good browsing experience.

Chrome is a long way from being ready for prime time. Will it ever be ready? Sure, and the competition will be good for us as browser users.

i dont think google will win

i dont think google will win in this contest. microsoft cant beat google in search and google cant beat MS in browser. just like ballmer said, they came late in search market and also google came way late in browser market. everything will be same in 5 years.

Chrome Gaining Ground

With IE's frequent security lapses and Google now promoting Chrome, look for Chrome to be #2 by this time next year. Their streamed down approach appeals to me and no doubt will to many others who like their streamed down search as well.

These browsers mainly gain popularity through ease of installation through clever marketing ploys, Microsoft of course has the advantage now with it bundled in XP/Vista, Google knows a thing or two about promoting free tools though, in 2 years I think they draw even with IE and Firefox becomes a niche product like Netscape.

Google is just a big

Google is just a big bully... They want to be #1 at everything, why don't they just concentrate on their search which has been very good with their revenue, improve Adwords for example.

Chrome could be a real force.

This browser market is a really interesting contest. Internet Explorer has such a huge advantage because it is already there on the vast majority of computers that are purchased. Firefox, on the other hand, owes it's success to legions of geekier than average users who are looking for something better. Google will likely find most of thier initial following from people who just plain like all things google. However, if google manages to be pre-installed on computers from the factory, it could go toe to toe with Internet Explorer. Google has the name recognition and the financial resources to make this happen. Is Microsoft scared? You bet! This was the primary reason they tried to aquire Yahoo. The next 5 to 10 years should be a fascinating contest.
