3 current versions of IE!! Give web designers a break!!!! IE is going to fall!!! Chrome is so much faster, speed is number 1 when it comes to surfing.

Google is a much better company than MS. Google puts a lot of effort into innovation - that's why they are the best search engine, own YouTube, offer free online document editing software, and the rest...I just know that Google have made the first step into creating a very advanced piece of software - even if people do think Chrome lacks what IE offers at current.

I would say Google Chrome, Its only in Beta and it is the Fastest Browser out there, It is not jam packed full of add-ons and It optimizes CUP If you close a Tab your CUP and Memory usage will go down Unlike IE, Also Google chrome has Animations Unlike IE, One last thing is that Google chrome has Tab Crash protection So if one tab Crashes, The whole google chrome app will not crash, Unlike IE if one tab Crashes the all the other tabs + IE will Crash

Chrome delivers a much faster experience and has a clean interface, whereas I experienced slow connection speed and not-so-pleasing interface. I also found out that Chrome has a better virus protection against Trojans too.

I find Chrome an excellent browser....i experience tremendous surfing speed compared to other web browsers...image and flash contents pull up at impressive faster speed...it never hangs....the interface is compact...least necessary required....does not need a separate search engine toolbar as the address bar serves the purpose...tabs open and close instantly.... Topper63 said it well...Microsoft had 8 chances to do it right and Google did it in its first attempt that too with a beta version...guys i say abandon or even boycott Internet Explorer as google is gonna rule browser industry....man waiting to see the day google launches it Operating System.

Khmer, Chrome displays Tamil perfectly. I can vouch for it as I am a tamilian who knows to read and write tamil. In FF u can't read the tamil fonts. But in chrome at times shockwave crashes. Still much better than IE8.

Well, CHrome is a big release! It just shows what google can do to MS. MS is so dead!

the first thing to remember that chrome has just been released, and I think this is gonna play out how the ipod or video game systems play out. they improve every release, so while chrome is great now, its going to be better. active x has massive security issues, being tied into the OS, as well as being so one sided, being a microsoft technology. since you have yet to see microsoft trying to make active x compatible with everything else, like they are "doing" with siverlight, using a technology that is widespread platform wise is much smarter then creating your own shutin setup and it allows for a wider range of changes. this is where standards and browsers like chrome shine the most

Microsoft have had way to many chances to get it right (8 times in total) google got it right first time.

at home - CHROME, hands down. at work - Internet Explorer, there is no other choice.

The best thing about Microsoft products is they try to support almost everything just like the OS does, that is what makes it better. IE supports 99% of the online applications, and the others don't, especially if it is a technology developed by Microsoft. Try using those other browsers to load a page made using .Net or .ASP. Microsoft is unbiased to technologies and supports even the ones they may not like personally. Just like IT handyan said...when it comes to Enterprise usage..IE simply just works with the least amount of hassle. Here where I work me and my IT partner are always fighting (not in a bad way) over IE vs Firefox and Windows vs Linux...bec we use both here on some level. I too have FF3 installed and I here and there use it. in my own tests I found that FF3 can be just as slow as IE once you install every sngle plugin you can. Many needed plugins aren't even avialble for Chrome or Opera and even Safari. Opera and Safari are for those who want simply web browsing. Those users compare to using WordPad vs Microsoft Word. Becauseof this it is easy to say these browsers are faster than IE. That is because it is using way less code because it isn't expected to dd what IE does..and they don't. The true comparison would be IE and FF3. I too like teh fact you can skin the browser. But that doesn't make it better. Being faster doesn't equate to better either. A Lamborghini is faster than a vette, but teh vette is going to be easier on your wallet when it is tie to fix it...so thus it is a better buy. It is nice to finally see some competition to Microsoft's products. It does give us a chance to see how good or bad they truly are. Someone asked me once, if everything in the world was good all the time...how would you know if anything was bad. Simple. It wouldn't matter because everything would be good. IE was definitely better than Netscape ever was and Netscape came with a price. if you can get a better product for free then of course it would be more appealing. Now that they all are free now there is a real war. But these other guys to me prove just have much better MS products already are, and that they also need to improve. In fact IE isn't less secure then the other browsers. Fact is because IE is used most if you want to exploit a person PC, it is better to take teh time to develop the exploitation for IE or Outlook because you have a better chance of getting it out there. Since Opera and Safari are used by 1% of the market and IE has 80% which one would you write a virus or exploitation for? I can care less about what addon a browser has if they provide no benefit outside of itself. The fact that IE works with all web media means it is overall a better choice. Sure it has flaws, but based on recent tests it has way less of them. Kudos to MS as they are working harder to get better and compatition promotes this.

lets give chrome sometime and see . from 1st day we use IE and now with 2 min u wanna change that not fair at all . lets imagine we dont have IE and we still use netscape ... so ie is good and we dont mind 2 have other browsers .. its big world ;)

I do not get it; people fall too easily for it. Chrome’s (as Google) EULA do not care about privacy; they quickly changed it in Chrome’s EULA, which was no mistake. Updates are not optional; there is no way to unselect them by choice, only through tweaking the OS. Worst is that by just clicking the “About”, Chrome automatically runs the “Update” without asking, it will even update programs that you did not ask for by just wanting a look at its Version. Why would it install or update anything I did not ask for? Changing their EULA was no mistake, simply was avoiding sues all over.

I was a FF user for some time, went away from IE, but IE8 is a real advance. And at least for me, running Vista, it is faster than FF3, renders pages better and has the useful Accelerator feature. I do like the lightness and speed of Chrome, but IT Handyman has it right about the Active X issue, and others have mentioned the add-on issue. I don't have MDS (Microsoft Derangement Syndrome) or belong to an OS cult. I bet they will all improve on their respective shortcomings, and I will use each. We all are benefiting from the browser war going on.

This comes from a guy that uses IE, Firefox and Opera daily... Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari will never be considered for mainstream businesses until there is support for ActiveX and other Microsoft specific technologies. I realize the value of industry standards but if one vendor (i.e. Microsoft) can depart from the "industry standard" and have more market share than why try to compete in such a small niche that is highly contested like what Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome (Read IE ~80% of the market, ~20% everyone else). The enterprise is the key to what has lead to Microsoft's market share in Internet browsers and indoctrinates the average web user to using Internet Explorer. The reason behind the enterprises choice of Internet Explorer is simple -- it is cohesive with other technologies and works seamlessly with all the other applications used in the enterprise. While IE is not the best browser from features stand point, it is the best choice in business which, in turn, makes it the best choice. This is like saying Lexus might be the best car, arguably, the best choice is probably the Toyota for the majority of people.

Chrome is very very fast, but we need some addons like in Firefox.

Won't be able to use Chrome or FF at work, and so IE8 is not looking so bad after-all :)
