So who's using Google's new web browser?  What do you think of it?  I'm kind of shying away at the moment due to Google's kind of lax attitude regarding user privacy, but I may be swayed over to it at some point.  Right now, though, I'm happy with Firefox and have no intention to switch.

I do have to say, though, that I like the idea of having a task manager for each tab so that you can close any that are being resource hogs.  It would be nice of Firefox could incorporate that functionality.

Nope, I like Firefox; unless Google's browser coughs up 20 dollar bills every time I use it, there's probably not much that's going to get me to switch.

Well it's fastish (though some of that is just prefetch) and I like some of the things like the combined search/url.

But it's missing all the ad-ons which make me like Firefox so much, like noscript and web mail trackers. Also, I seem to have no options regarding updating, now that I've installed it googleupdate.exe is running itself on start up, (and continuing to sit as a running process, even though I've not run chrome at all lately) which irritates me. Especially since I don't see an easy way to shut it off. I don't like that I may have to kill it from msconfig or something similar. I should have control over updates.

Overall, it seems to have less user control than Firefox does anyhow, though I grant you it does not do that stupid 'new tab steals focus for cookie dialogue if you have cookie permissions set to ask every time' thing.

I only have one question about Chrome that needs to be answered before I consider switching:

Does It Have Adblock Plus?
