    Already use Chrome as my main Browser and the extensions will only solidify that.
    FireFox is my backup.

    IE is only used now for sites that require it.

    Like the commercial. i'm guessing that isn't a single commercial and we will see it broken up in several and be seen all over the web shortly.

    Rosa, what's up with the late night posts? I don't see anything from you all day and you start posting in the early AM.

    Although its nice to have a bunch of posts to wake up to. So its not so bad...

    Awesome!
    After trying everything in my power to get Firefox to stop crashing everytime I opened too many tabs (which I do very oftenly), I switched to Chrome.

    Had to wait 'till XMarks ported their plugin to Chrome though.

    Now, nothing gets me back to Firefox, just like when I was using Firefox, nothing would get me back to Internet Explorer.

    The only thing I really miss from Firefox is the DownThemAll plugin and ScreenGrab... but whenever I really need those, I just use Firefox.

    I dunno about security (though I had no problems so far), but it really is faster - way too faster actually, and more stable too.

    Take this from someone who, in a typical day will have 30+ tabs opened at the same time.

    Oh yeah, the ad is very nice...

    Going to echo the Chrome love. I don't use the Mac version, but I do on my Windows 7 Bootcamp and it's great. All who haven't tried it yet, give it a whirl. You may just make it your default.

    Wow. Although I am happy with Firefox for the most part, perhaps I will give Chrome a chance. I have it on my computer, so might as well. I forgot to uncheck a box and Google snuck it in with my Google Earth update.

    Alright, extensions page. Bring on the AdBlock-y goodness, and you might start to gain my attention.

    Currently trying out the Chrome beta build with the AdSweep extension. Looks pretty good so far. Still would prefer something official.

    Come on, Chrome. You've got the faintest of a chance here. Don't blow it.

    @OCEntertainment: How did you get AdSweep to run on the OSX version? It seems that they turned off extensions for Mac and I haven't figured out how to turn them back on yet, still trying to figure that out. Maybe you can point me in the right direction.

    @Pope_Zephyrinus: I should clarify, I'm running this on the Windows version. I believe the Mac version doesn't allow extensions just yet. I could be wrong. My Mactop is at home, so I haven't tried it out yet.

    Unless I can block ads, I won't use Chrome. Firefox does what I want how I want it to.

    Sorry, but Google came a little late to the game.
