Does Anyone Still Use Google Chrome?
Oddly enough I'm writing this post using Google Chrome, but only after I put on my french maid outfit and dusted that Chrome icon off. To be honest, since it doesn't offer any quality Add-Ons as of yet, it's fell by the wayside. I'm surprised that Google hasn't done more to encourage developers to create Chrome Add-Ons, at least in any capacity to compete with FireFox.
Searching for a solution to the Chrome add on problem I did come across a site called My Chrome Addons. This site is the closest thing to a repository of useful tools for Chrome as it gets, but seems to focus more on themes than actual tools that increase user experience. In it's raw form Chrome has yet to do anything that FireFox can't do better.
Furthermore, it's just not as stable as originally advertised. Well, just typing this post it's crashed on me completely, not just a few functions. I've never had any problems using FireFox, in regards to stability, other than it's wildely free roaming memory consumption. Hell, this many revisions later I'd hope they would have that fixed by now.
As mentioned previously, I am writing this blog post in the Chrome browser, but it almost feels unnatural. Generally when researching blog posts I'll have multiple FireFox windows and tabs open. Chrome doesn't offer one-click opening of multiple instances of itself. So for now, Google Chrome will remain a novelty icon, a program I dust off every so often to see if any progress has been made.

This is my first post using Google Chrome and first impressions are a little lacking and one feature has me just freaking out. There is an 'Incognito' feature that provides a safe and secure browsing experience for the user, but it also destroys any cookie's after the window is closed,Google, google, and more google. Apparently the minds behind the worlds greatest search engine have nothing better to do than come up with silly search pages. Maybe they should work on getting spam out of the SERP's...cough, cough.

Consider it a dumbed down version of Digg, where the goal is to get MySpace users to click on ads and use their second-rate layouts, graphics, and glitters. WikipediaGoogle Webmaster Tools has stepped it up again by offering more features and controls over how Google bots view your site. One of the most noteworthy of options is the ability to control how often your site gets spidered, rather how much bandwidth is used during the indexing process.

However, the filtering has lowered the actual number of clicks I receive. This coupled with me using more and more Affiliate Programs has

I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
Really don’t know for sure movie fan. I would hope so. What did it do to leave your computer compromised?
I wasn’t fond of Chrome really. I like Firefox and Seamonkey much better.
Loretta, I’ve never tried Seamonkey, but FireFox still has my heart.
I use chrome for everything!
I like it’s simple sleek, layout, and the general simplicity in doing everythin.
one question - what do you mean when you say “Chrome doesn’t offer one-click opening of multiple instances of itself”?
Just click the little plus sign beside the open tab, or hit ctrl+t (windows, obviously. I there even a mac version of chrome??)
By one-click instance I’m referring to actual new ‘windows’ not ‘tabs’. I hate scrolling to see tabs so multiple windows is the only answer, for me anyways.
