Google Chrome!!!

[opethian]

any reviews or comments ... though im using it n its quite gud atleast in way that eats very less cpu n memory n runs perfectly on an old celeron 1.6ghz ... where as firefox is quite a burden on old machines!!! ...

now plz ppl (ref to those who own a gud machine) ... dnt make foolish comments that firefox runs gr8 on ur c2dz or c2qz ... im just saying CHROME LESS RESOURCE hungry than firefix!!! n u feel quite relaxed on old p4 celeron n lower systems ...

baki any one who has used it plz put accross ur personnel experience ...

thankx

I have used Chrome personally.....Wel it is not as good as IExplorer but it is in initials stages, being a google product I am sure they are surely going to improve it and it will surely beat its rival fire fox

[opethian]

well i agree with u ... n plus its very very gud as far as cpu load is concerned... i used firefox on a p4celeron n man o man i was unable to do anything else except using firefox cause it was too much for that old baby ...

[TsAr]

The reason I did not like it that much was (even though i had no problems) I am to used to using Iexplorer, thats y I uninstalled it.....but anyways when it gets beter i am again looking forward to using it...

[opethian]

well ie7 is a gud browser ... firefox is gr8 ... but chrome is gud in a sense u get their features in a much lighter browser ... its out look is decent no too much hiphop ... haan thora different hai to use than ur normal ie7 or firefox ... dnt find old type of menus n options ... but ill preferit using it on my old pc over firefox atleast!!! ... no issues with firefox but its too heavy for my poor celeron

Hey guys any reviews abt apple safari ?

[Ice Man]

the safari is a memory hoggggg on windows, i really hated it
i've shifted over from ie7 to chrome permanently, shifted on the first beta, currently running 1.0.154.48
absolutely love it, clean, neat, fast, does what a browser needs to do. plus i like the incognito (privacy) mode

firefox is a memory hog, no doubt about that. But it's the best browser of the world, because of it's addons.

Whereas Chrome is a fast and small application. Good for browsing. And runs fine on low-end PCs, even on celerons or early P4s.

Google has always believed in simplicty. If you compare google products, chrome, gmail, bloggers, google.com etc., you'll see that the layout has always been simple. And chrome is the latest example of it.

I am using Google Chrome since first beta (On my home system as well as pretty old P3 650 MHz at work).

It's a pretty simple, neat & fast browser. It's page rendering speed is awesome, fastest than both IE and FF. It's drag and drop UI is pretty good too. Although it has some issues such as sometimes online multimedia streaming e.g youtube, gametrailers etc won't work OK initially and will take some time before the streaming starts and that it lacks add-on support. (As it's in Beta stage so it's nothing much to worry about). Hopefully it's features will improve as the time pass.

agreed ppl ... im a new users firefox i was using since its inception ... but due to its memory hunger i shifted to chrome ... actually i saw its review on bbc click few weeks back n in there top 5 included ie7 ff chrome opera n there was one more ... n they also rated it very high better than ie7 n a threat for FF .. khair ... lets see .. but this is for sure ... chrome is here to say!!!

FF since 3 has lost it...

IE 7 is STill the Most Compatible browser to date with the internet..
just update windows to all IE updatesand you see huge stabilty improvements...

Chrome at its first outing was soo horendous, i un-installed it in less than 30 min...after downloading it twice..

now the latest chrome is working as a2ndry browser for Ass Lazy sites llke Facebook, and its rendering and loading speed is MUCH MUCH faster than Any otherbrowser to date on a windows platform...


Addons and Features will become aviable soon for chrome.. google isnt Stupid, its open sourcing chrome for further dev, however it will monitor and Certify most popular addons so they donot crash chrome..

Waiting Anxiously for IE 8 for Xp..

Chrome rules.

no need for FF or IE anymore.

I only use chrome

nuff said.

[alitahir]

It's not bad.. However I sometimes get bluesceens on my Laptop which is why I still prefer FF. The best thing about chrome is that it is really fast

[Ali Tayyab]

chrome is an pretty good, but needs a lot of work.
log on o rage3d, click on sys. specs tab and it wont work.
there are other places where it fails, like ptcl online subs website. even FF doesnt work there.

as for it using a lot of resources, it infact tends to use more memory than FF when u use multiple tabs.

For a single tab:
Memory Footprint (single tab)
Firefox 3.1 - 50MB
IE8 - 59MB
Chrome - 22MB

For 10 tabs:
Memory Footprint (ten tabs)
Firefox 3.1 - 91MB
IE8 - 230MB
Chrome - 141MB

Better than IE 8, but more than what FF does.

it is fast though:
Sunspider benchmarks (lower numbers are better)
Firefox 3.1 - 1771.4ms
IE8 - 6837.6ms
Chrome - 1923.0ms


figures from:
Browser wars

So to sum it up for the time being IE is the best to use...and hopefully chrome will get better and we will hae a 2nd choice
