Google has boosted chrome from the v1 to v14 within 3 years… If this goes on…
What! It will be about v112 at the year 2025…
CRAZY CHROME…
But still my favorite browser…
Don’t look now, but Firefox isn’t very far behind. Mozilla is also on a “rapid fire” release thought pattern. I like the Google toolbar and FF v5 does not play well with the Google toolbar.
IMHO Google Chrome is too minimalist for my taste. But, “To each his own”.
I liked Mozilla Firefox when in v3 with slow and effective security updates…
If Firefox is following the foot steps of chrome then the Firefox users will be confused about the rapid updates because they may experience more incompatibility issues…
I prefer Chrome over FF by a wide margin. I used to hate it back when it was at like v6 and truly was minimalist. It’s come a long way since then and I like it now. I’d be using IE9 though if it would run on XP.
I like to switch between Chrome, Firefox & IE9 from time to time. Currently using IE9 and i think it’s brilliant on all levels. Not quite as fast as Chrome but believe me it’s getting there slowly. When using IE9 i like to keep the add-ons to a minimum and don’t use any toolbars that way it keeps it looking clean, fresh and runs a lot faster.

I was also thinking that IE9 is back in the race…
Also IE 10 will be coming with windows 8, I think…
I honestly can’t see what all the excitement is about IE9, to me looks little different to IE8 on my win7 (SP1) netbook. win7 came with IE8 and I have updated it to IE9.
To be honest I’m not impressed, what’s the big deal.
The look of IE9 is totally different from IE8. The tab arrangement is different and it allows you to have a bigger browser window. It does not have a title bar any more either. It also is considerably faster and outperforms IE8 in the benchmarking and standards tests by a wide margin. It actually beat Chrome in the Sunspider test on the Vista machine here. It’s a huge improvement over IE8 and I was always a big fan of 8 and used it since it first came out. It’s other big advantage on the Vista machine is that I was able to update it for my ladyfriend and she got a faster, more secure, and up to date browser without having to learn how to use something completely new.
To me that is aesthetics, bells and whistles and I honestly noticed no visual difference in speed. to browsing a site using IE or firefox.
That in itself would be an improvement to many people over IE8. ;D
… yeah it’s about 10 or 20 times faster than IE8, but hey, what’s the big deal :
I don’t use it much cause I’m still not fond of the UI (and no it’s not the same as IE8), but IE9 is definitely the fastest browser… it is damned fast ;D
In your experience you might consider it 10-20 times faster, but I rather think that is somewhat of an exaggeration. I never particularly liked the IE8 interface either, but there is no way IE9 was 10-20 times faster than IE8 in my personal experience; I’m sure I would have noticed that.
However this is a bit of a moot point, not to mention al lot off topic since this is meant to be about chrome updates.
hey you’re the one who came up with comments on IE9 right? that’s suddenly off topic because you don’t like my comment? 
your hardware (W7 basic netbook IIRC) is obviously too weak to let you see the difference of performance between IE8 and 9
ps: now that I think about it yes I did make a mistake, that wasn’t 20 but 30 times :
Wrong, that ball was started rolling in Reply #4
Come on, that is a huge exaggeration. It’s faster yes but not even twice as fast let alone 10 times. I would estimate it’s maybe 20% faster at the most. If you’re talking about benchmark tests then yes, it’s much faster, but in actual browsing maybe 10-20% is observable.
Browsers?
