I don't even know why people are asking this. If you actually have any knowledge whatsoever about browsers and computing in general besides the old, lame, fanboyish-ness, you (should) instantly see how much better chrome is than IE - in fact IE is a bit of a joke compared with any good modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. As an indicator, you can run the acid3 compliance test in all five browsers and the only one that won't get 100/100 is IE (well, firefox aswell but it's alot better than IE's score). Still not convinced? Try running any javascript benchmark. OK you should be getting my point now. Oh and as for extensions - all of these browsers have them so it doesn't really come into the equation. If you need tonnes of extensions use firefox.

Chrome is fast, secure, and easy. Internet Explorer? Well...it's kind of easy? And Chrome is made by Google (obviously), so you know it's good. Internet Explorer? Well...nothing to say here. Chrome and /firefox are the best browsers, and Internet Explorer is the worst.

IE8 virtually has no extensions at all. ActiveX pretty much has been replaced by javascript and other web standards. Idiots who complain about how its a keylogger cant support a thing and IE is losing more and more of its market share. The only reason its alive is because somebody put into noob's head that all of the other browsers are worse even though they never used any other one themselves.

i Hate Explorer even i have 4gb Ram The IE is slow in when open and struck when open ... Chrome is so much better than every other browser

i like Google Chrome is goodness if work or i not like Internet Explorer is bad not work loss, wow see the internet high-speed Google Chrome very Faster good!, go the friend Google Chrome for Mac equal Apple Safari for Mac is good... Fuck Internet Explorer 8 Fuck You!!!...

i Hate Explorer even i have 4gb Ram The IE is slow in when open and struck when open new Tab and take some time to close but Chrome beta satisfy all my needs .Its 1000 times best than IE ,Mozila or any other browser.

Chrome is so much better than every other browser, because it is so much faster, and works so well. While IE fails at displaying pages, chrome displays everything perfectly.

Its faster, manage my downloads in a separate page and its more confortable, has various styles to change the appereance, guess the site that I want to visit, and has the private browsing mode that enable us to surf avoiding to left private data XD

Chrome = Fast, Reliable, Doesn't crash on a simple app. Does a perfect and fast load on JavaScript. It installs plugins as you visit websites, not like IE, after you need a plugin, you have to leave the current website your viewing etc... Plugin Chrome = 25 seconds!!! Plugin IE = 10~25minutes!!!

Google Chrome is much faster than Internet Explorer. Also, it looks much better and is more stable. I used to like Internet Explorer better, but after a large series of random crashes, I switched to Chrome and have never looked back.

I find the options n preferences menu in Chrome completely rubbish…I mean they hardly give you any options with just the three tabs…Opera gives you 5, Firefox and IE give you 7 or 8…and its not like the Chrome developers have been working overtime to give you sleek UI’s, … just try setting up a proxy to connect to a network in Chrome and it simply switches to the IE settings menu…that’s original!

Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 is awesome... Fast Boot-Up, Fast, Secure and Better! Google Chrome is Evil since it is part with Google and we all know Google only wants our info... So whenever you type on Google Chrome your only sending your info to Google. It's like a Keylogger on a Browser sending right to Google! So IE, No Keylogger! Privacy is safe.

very nice new features satisify my needs : )

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.
