I dont think it's the missing addons, It just seems strange to do all the normal browser stuff out of the Spanner icon instead of along the top.

I must be fair though it does load up faster then Firefox. I will update it today as a newer version is available...

I use Firefox as my main browser with a few addons, and I have it set load all the previous tabs from the last session so it can take a while to load sometimes.

I have Chrome installed, but I only tend to use it when I clickly want to load up a page at the side as it is faster! It's also better than using IE for the purpose

Chrome is nice, but no extensions. Some are slated for early summer, but until then Chrome is still quite beta.

My boys and I have been using Google Chrome almost exclusively. We aren't into a lot of add ons and extentions, so that part isn't an issue for us. They do a lot of watching movies and tv shows online, and it does a good job of that.

I use Firefox next, and they use Firefox, Opera or Enigma. IE is installed for the rare occasions its needed....like checking my websites in it, or the occasional website that doesn't want to display well in any other browser. Oh, and for getting MS updates and info because they couldn't possibly let you get those in any other browser.

May I advice to everyone that uses Chrome, to check out a browser called Iron Browser?

Its basically the same as Google Chrome, but with a different name, and it doesn't has the spyware tools Google installed into the browser.

Chrome vs Iron

Next to that, Iron is portable too.

PS. If you want a browser that is even faster than Chrome/Iron, Try the new Safari 4.
