I go for it but let’s see next year. 8)
I couldn’t find anywhere the flexibility and the configurability of Firefox extensions…
You get exactly the same effect as if you put a collar on horse’s head. It is not plain and simple as you think it is and Firefox is not the best browser out there.
Of course you can not get them, yet. Google Chrome is in early beta stage, what to expect at this point? Let give it some time and I am almost 100% sure developers will start working on it just like they swarmed around firefox. No question, Chrome is The Fastest browser out there. Not safe enough ? Well, maybe that’s true, but just find me one that’s 100% safe. There is no safe browser and it will never be, you have to live with it. When IE 8 comes out, I am positive, the very next day someone will come up with dozen of links saying about all vulnerabilities and security holes they have discovered. This is becoming so boring. Yawn!
I’m not married with Firefox… I wish Chrome get better and better… maybe I drop Firefox.
Right now, it’s far away from the best point. What I can say from a lot of other Google tools is that configurability and flexibility aren’t their better. They make simple (and very good) products, not flexible ones.
While there isn’t a browser that’s 100% safe, I think Opera is the safest browser. ![]()
Opera is the friendliest, easiest browser to use. It’s a delight to surf with Opera.
I’ve never used Chrome, but Opera is the fastest browser I’ve used. K-Meleon is very fast, but suffers from many of FF’s short comings.
Of all the browsers I’ve used, the one I liked the least was Safari.
The Linux browser I liked best is Konqueror. (I was never able to try Opera on Linux.)
how in the hell are you going to say chrome is the fastest browser out there?are you alright are you sane?it hasn’t even been out 2 days,i don’t understand why people can’t get it through there thick skull!!!firefox,eat it ,swallow it ,live with it
chargers #1 and firefox evangelist
Ooops! I thought Charger’s comment was directed at me.
I used to use Opera, very fast browser. But I remember it had a memory leak in the Mac version and thats why I quit using it at the time. Maybe time to download it again.
As for the safest browser, I think pretty much all the major browsers (apart from IE) are Safe to use. Afterall browsing habits have a big impact on security, if you visit questionable sites you will eventually get exploited/infected no matter what the browser is since all have vulnerabilities.
That’s nothing more than being a “Fan Boy”
With that attitude, you’ll never discover anything new.
Chrome is much faster than Firefox. Easy to use and I’ve found it very stable even if it’s still a beta release.
(Oh, I forgot, it’s from Google and most of their stuff is still beta…)
It’s currently running as my default browser. ![]()
same here mac i have opera installed but don’t use it cause it still has a memory leak on my windows vista.one tab open 130 to 150K!!!rediculous!!!i’ll say it once again firefox #1
well good luck bob enjoy( chrome what a joke)
This is becoming so boring. Yawn!everyone is different in everything that's why there are so many choices out there in everything just go to the grocery store and look at all the cereal's you have your choices-eat what you like same as browsers-use what you like I admit Chrome is fast- but so is Garfield-but i'm still using Firefox and Opera ;) page 6 on this thread coming soon :o
I suggest you do some serious research next time before you say something like that. If you haven’t already, check their comic about how Chrome is engineered and why it’s fast as it is. Then maybe, you will come to realise why it really is the fastest browser out there. “Two days” what the hell are you talking about?!! How many days do you need to realise how fast it renders everything? Three?! Do some research as I said.
like drdrayden said everyone is different !!!enjoy!!!
Like FF for it’s extensions but I can’t install any right now and I don’t like it. Are they so safe after all? Reliable? We rely a lot on NoScript, for example, what if it became corrupt. I’ve uninstalled Threatfire, I also ran a registry clean up with MVRegClean that is in depht and Advance Window Care and Glary and it just won’t install, any of them. I read a thread on the Threatfire forum on PCTools about it but so far the software is gone. Weird. Just to say I am less secure than I was with FF 3.0.1 than I was 1 week ago. But do we have a choice (those who care about security) than surfing with the great FOX? ??? Note:CHROME IS BETA and all my extension problems started after I downloaded it, but I have no proof. :-\
Just found this on the Mozilla technical knowledge :
Invalid file hash
If you receive the error, Firefox could not install the file at because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) when clicking an “Install” link, try the following:
* Reload the page or clear the Firefox cache: "Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network / Cache -> Clear Now" (Firefox 2) or "Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache -> Clear" (Firefox 1.5), then try again. [8]
* If installing from addons.mozilla.org (AMO), the problem could be with the addons.mozilla.org database (bug 345505) or a broken mirror site (bug 420278). Try restarting Firefox to see if the extension or theme was installed despite the error [9]. You could also try installing at a later time or from an alternate location such as the author's homepage [10].
* Manually install the extension (right-click the install link -> "Save Link As"-> save the .jar or .xpi file, then drag the file icon onto an open Firefox window). Note: If a manual install also fails, an antivirus (or other software that monitors downloads) may be corrupting the file. You could try saving the file on another computer, then copy it over and manually install it on the problem computer. [11]
Note: This error can also occur when installing an “experimental” extension from AMO. See this bug report for details.
Tried to install webmail for example from the Author’s web page. Same problem.
In some threads in their forum they say it may be linked to AVAST or Comodo 3 FW or ZA or CA. Well since I already have my share of extensions installed I will stay like that but I’m confused, disturbed! ![]()
While I am and remain a Firefox user and supporter please remember that the Firefox folks are managing with those willing to work for nothing. Google meanwhile is the large organization not a couple of miles away with money to burn on developers of a new web browser. You may be a better man than I but where I in the vicinity and given the choice of developing Firefox for free or Chrome for pay … I think I know what my choice would be.
I have to suspect that Chrome will be a significant player and may well eclipse Firefox.
Note:CHROME IS BETA and all my extension problems started after I downloaded it, but I have no proof.All of my extensions still work fine when I use Firefox. Right now Chrome is set as the default browser in order to put it through it's paces and check for any problems. I have noticed that there are some problems copying items into my blogs when using Chrome. I was able to use the copy and paste method in my Google blog but not any of the others..... :'(
Hi Folks!
Sorry for the fuss about installation problems and invalid hash with installation extension in FF. Even Mozillazone don’t know why but seems that the solution is creating a new profile folder and deleting the old one. It solved my problems. Go figure why!!! The profile folder goes corrupt. Here is the link (in french):http://www.geckozone.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13343
All Right, got it, Damian, Tech: it’s Firekeeper alpha that was giving me trouble, I reinstalled it and the problem reappeared, uninstalled it and it disappeared. I’ll have to do without it.
