Commentary By Ron Beasley
I'm an old fart that hates change - I actually miss DOS. Fire Fox became my web browser years ago because anything was better that IE. I just made the switch to Google Chrome. It's faster but it is different and I hate different but it's really amazing how quickly I adapted to the different. And yes, you can not only import your bookmarks but yuor saved pass words as well. Check it out!
I've been using Chrome for six months or so, and basically like it better than Firefox, which I used for a couple years prior. Chrome is overall a more lightweight and responsive browser. Firefox has suffered form bloat for some time.
ReplyDeleteI went to Chrome about a year ago against my will but I've learned to like it.
ReplyDeleteAt the time my Facebook newsfeed kept getting advertisements, a few of which had unwanted audio which went on as soon as they hit. Very annoying. It was in my desktop only so I learned to go to Facebook only on my little netbook (which is a pain in the butt -- low memory and one of those touch pads instead of a mouse, etc.)
After several attempts to clean the bug out I was at the verge of reformatting the hard drive when an online supervisor of a bunch of Indian geeks (who had failed in scrubbing the thing out after three or four hours online) asked about my browsers. It seems the problem was with IE and Firefox but not with Chrome for some reason. (Go figure...) So I switched to Chrome and got used to it.
I really like that the address field also functions as a Google search field. And I really like when the Google search is active and simply messing with the key words gets instant results. That is truly amazing.
The only feature I don't like is the history function. I used that all the time with Firefox (anything in the search field is instantly working, just as with the Google web engine) but Chrome always wants to pull up the Google reader links instead of the sources. No good.
