Has anyone downloaded Google's Chrome web browser and used it yet? The Google folks claim it is faster that other web browsers. I was wondering how it worked with Chess.com. Eric had recommended Firefox some weeks ago, which I downloaded and am Very happy with, but if faster is available.... well....

Hey Mike, 

I have downloaded and no problems as of yet and it is FAST!

Yep and I'm using it now.  So far, it seems to be much faster.  

A website I use to listen to radio online requires a plugin, which doesn't seem to exist for Chrome (yet). For Firefox I could just install the plugin, but it seems like there are no plugins for Google Chrome yet.

But the rest seems to work well. If they also get plugins, maybe I'll use Chrome more than Firefox (and of course more than IE, but who uses IE anyway?).

Hmmm... Anyone out there using Chrome find that they do not have the plug-in to run Chess.Com's chess computer program?  I can from Mozilla still. 

Yeah, I would not recommend trying to use Chrome w/ anything that requires Java. Keep in mind, Chrome is very new, and is not yet compele.

Big bug. It allows files to be downloaded without prompt (eg .exe's). Hopefully should be fixed soon >>

Also, Chrome HATES youtube.

haha, well then i won´t download it

Yes it is still in beta format so I am sure they will fix the plugins and other issues but did I mention it was FAST!

I have an ole' saying; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"....:-))

It is good I am using it right now.

I like the speed, but will stick with firefox for its addons. When there is a adblocker for  it, call me =)

lol, it is a good basic browser right now, but yea Mozilla has way better addons.
