Anyone using Google's Chrome Browser instead of IE, Firefox, etc.? - SpartanTailgate.com

I'm just curious. I installed it today and I've been playing with it a bit. It's not bad. I like the following:

how it highlights the active box I'm typing in
no title bar
in addition opening multiple tabs, I can designate a different homepage that opens with the click of the homepage icon.
it also seems pretty fast.

I hear it disables use of the search function on message boards.

I tired it because they claimed it was more memory efficient, but it runs more process and uses more memory and cpu% than firefox.

What capability does Firefox give you to address ads that Chrome doesn't? I haven't seen any more ads on my screen compared to IE. I'm not getting any popups or anything like that.

I like the speed and the homepage with my most common websites up. I am using it now.

however, I like all the firefox extensions....adblock, woot, foxmarks....especially foxmarks.

I'm gonna have to say that your search function is not working. I used FF and successfully found the other thread that was started before this one: http://www.spartantailgate.com/forum...-9-2-08-a.html
