Google Chrome

Just starting using this browser but it doesn't seem very secure. Is there any way to encrypt your saved passwords?

If you click "option' then "show saved passwords" and then "show passwords", anyone using or hacking your computer/laptop can see all of them. Not cool. Master password? Might be returning back to Firefox...

I've been using it for a few months now. I don't save passwords for stuff that's actually meaningful. Firefox was using up to much RAM for my liking, and every time I'd try and open a PDF within the browser it'd crash

iBoost · 05-01-2010, 11:46 AM

+1 I don't save passwords on important sites neither. I love Google Chrome though

Blake · 05-01-2010, 11:49 AM

i tried chrome, isn't for me. i prefer firefox.

DougLikesBMW · 05-01-2010, 03:55 PM

Chrome FTW, made the switch recently. Much better than Firefox.

silvergray545 · 05-01-2010, 04:53 PM

I prefer Chrome to Firefox, personally. I think it runs way smoother than the rest.

does google chrome support open development and add-ons like firefox? I have so many useful add-ons on firefox that i prob wouldn't be able to live without if chrome didn't have them like NoScript (prevents all scripting without your consent such as keylogging, unauthorized downloading, bypassing ads, etc ) , theme add-ons, plugins, etc

Yup.

I used firefox for the past 3 years.. I put chrome on my work PC about 2 months ago, but still had FF on my personal computer.. I finally made the switch entirely to chrome

I work in IT so this may have something to do with my preference.. but chrome>firefox

solefald · 02-01-2011, 11:56 PM

Been using Chrome for over a year now, starting with Chromium. Ditched Firefox immediately after that.

TK-421 · 02-01-2011, 11:58 PM

Before I picked up my macbook, I used safari on my vista powered (

) laptop with no complaints.

choicez · 02-02-2011, 12:06 AM

Been using Chrome and I prefer it over firefox. However, it still reveals your password.

JayKay335i · 02-02-2011, 12:30 AM

Used chrome on a work computer, Firefox on my regular bs windows7 pc, and safari on my macbook. They all have their upsides and downsides.

gun6slinger9 · 02-02-2011, 12:58 AM

Been using chrome for more than a year now. Love how simplistic it looks yet just as if not more powerful than firefox, also seems faster too IMO.

DougLikesBMW · 02-02-2011, 02:59 AM

Chrome is god of all browsers...only thing that sucks is no right click -> set as background

love chrome. runs smoother/faster than firefox. only downside is when some sites don't support chrome.

MadDog · 02-02-2011, 10:33 AM

Early versions of Chrome kept crashing my computer and McAfee anti-virus kept saying it was a virus.

Has Chrome gotten any better ??

Wakka · 02-02-2011, 10:38 AM

well your first problem is youre using mcafee. chrome runs fine.

Too many chrome users were abusing that feature due to your fap thread so they got rid of it
