It has now been one month since the release of Google Chrome, the search engine giant’s first web browser. As with all things, Google wanted to show Microsoft that they had what it takes to develop a great browser.
When Google Chrome was first launched on September 2, it was surrounded by so much hype, and many people believe that it lived up to it. Microsoft must be running scared, because this was the first web browser from Google, and they seem to have done a great job.
This new and fresh web browser gives you a more organic experience than you do with the likes of, Firefox 3 from Mozilla or Internet Explorer 8 by Microsoft. When I first downloaded Google Chrome, I did not like what I saw and decided to go back to Firefox 3. I now think that this was a mistake, I should have spent more time with it, like you would an infant. I should have been patient with it and allowed it to prove itself.
So are you still using Google Chrome, or did you decide to go back to IE8 or Firefox?

I went back to IE8 Beta 2 as my everyday browser but I still use Chrome for Gmail.
I do love Chrome. Ok like Love is a strong Browser word. But why cant I play any Java games on Chrome? Can someone help. Why cant I go to pogo.com and play anything it says Java isnt installed and it is installed
it’s fine but not compatibale with enough sites and web apps.
Google has released a new version to their browser, version 0.3.154.9, which solves problems with java and videos etc.
At first I also didnt like Chrome. Not sure why i guess Im a bells and whistle man and then a friend said try it again. So I did. with apprehension. I got to know it better like fine wine. It grows on you. I like the fresh interface etc.
