I currently use Epiphany which is much faster than Firefox but has very few extensions. I will consider Chrome when it’s available for Linux. I consider Google’s envolvement in any product a plus. Regardless, as a web developer I will test my sites with Chrome.

i would try it without a doubt, also don’t have a problem having two good browsers in my pc anyway. Also the minimalistic is not a bother to me. Surely i can find some use to its low memory use, that bothers me greatly in firefox.

As much as I love firefox now, I believe Google will make Chrome very good, that in the future, I will not have a choice but to switch.

It’s like gmail. Almost everybody has a gmail account. Why? Because it is the best free email service out there. Chrome may reach the top of the free browser category one day.

For now, I’m sticking to firefox, as I have too many valuable fire-fox add-ons I cannot live without.

I love to use Firefox as it has helped me lot in my Development work. The only problem which i have faced with Firefox is that it takes too much memory and slows down my PC. Unless Google gives me a browser which is light and have better Development features then Firefox there is now way that i will be shifting to any other browser;)

Google is the Big Brother, written in the Bible under Matthew 7:15 “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves.”

Google wants to know about you everything.

You asked if we’ll switch to Google Chrome when it comes out for Linux. I say that I won’t; however, I’d also like to say why. While I’d love to play around with Chrome and I like a lot of things about it under Windows, I find it too minimalistic. I’ve become addicted to the extra features that come with add-ons for Firefox or widgets in Opera.

But, since Google Chrome is open source, I suppose the creation of add-ons by third parties is inevitable. Still though, unless Chrome becomes markedly superior in performance AND I can replicate the add-ons that I can’t live without — I’m staying with Firefox.

There’s my two cents, for whatever it’s worth. :-D
