..any good?
i use firefox at the moment. i had used IE for a long long time, as i dont like change much, but when i got firefox i realised its not too dissimilar to IE but just a damn site better.
Is it worth replacing firefox with google chrome? and more importantly is it much different layout wise?.. and is it easy to use? |

It's my main browser. It's really light, unlike Firefox, and is very easy to use. Back in my old job, I convinced a bunch of +50 year old ladies to use Chrome and, guess what? They had no trouble using it :p
I only keep Firefox for the extensions. Opera is yet another great browser, but it isn't nearly as light as Chrome. Quite on the contrary, it's more like a Swiss Knife, full of goodies... though it's still lighter than Firefox. |

Pretty much sums it up. I used it for a month or two, but returned to Firefox because I like its bookmark system more. Oh, and Adblock Plus and Image Zoom extensions. I don't know what it's like to browse the web surrounded with ads anymore. |

google chrome is clean & fast for sure.
however, i've stayed with firefox bc it works best for me, i do love the extensions and to be honest, i don't particularly like how chrome lays out your websites, i prefer having the buttons i use the most- i use wikipedia a lot & i have the little search at the top which is ideal.
see, i like my buttons & wiki search at the top & i prefer having a dark screen, it bothers my eyes less. |

Extensions are coming. Google wins Firefox I'm afraid this time.
Simple and Clean. Shame Google can't make phones for , everything else they do rocks. |

Oh, you can set that up on Chrome too. Instead of having that search box, however, you have to type something like "Wiki", press TAB, and it'll automatically turn your address bar into a search bar. In the beginning, you have to type it all (i.e. "en.wikipedia.org", but you can customise that later). |
