How do you mean? Google's app store for Chrome is pretty vast.

Chrome.

It's light and unobtrusive. I use google calendar, and currently have an android phone so everything works great. Heck, chrome for android is awesome too.

I'm not one for add-ons, apps or plugins so chrome it is.

My second favorite Browser is Firefox , which I had used ever since it came out. but Firefox became rather buggy and bloated with later versions. and I went to Chrome

This sums it up for me. I dumped IE for Firefox, and that was fine until it lagged 2-5 seconds on every click. Chrome has been great, much faster, better searches, ties in with Android apps. etc.

This unfortunately isn't the same as the common sites list that is stored in the address bar in FF. In FF the address bar drops down and contains a list of most commonly visited web sites, based on entry into the address bar, not on having ever gone there, which is what chrome uses. This and the lack of a few required (for my use) add-ons is what keeps me in FF.

You're saying FF's history is limited to sites that were entered into the address bar, but Chrome's history shows all sites visited whether or not they were entered into the address bar? I don't recall what FF does, but I think you're right about Chrome showing every page visited. Why isn't that better for you?

FF shows the most common in the drop down. You get the same search history by typing into the address bar that you do with chrome (everything ever typed), but in FF you also get a the drop down. I have a few sites that I only visit once a day, and I prefer to get to them from the dropdown.

Got it.

I like Chrome until it says... "He's dead Jim".

I get errors a lot from Shockwave crashing. That's my only complaint. It seems to be a faster browser than I.E. or Firefox for me. And I prefer speed when I'm browsing.

Chromium technology-based Comodo Dragon.

I think I first heard about it right here.

It's quick and easy to get around in.

At least it's a little amusing.

I agree with everything you said. Shockwave seldom fails on me, but when it does, it happens many times within a day. Then it's fine for months.
