How do you feel about the chrome browser?
I have decided I love it. It has the ap store where you can download all sorts of simple games, solitaire games, all sorts of mah jong games, farm king, bubble popping games, just tons of games and music programs and stuff. I love Christmas Mah jong. I love solitaire golf.
I had no idea this browser was so wonderful. I don't use it to browse, really, just to play with the aps. I like the weather aps, the games, the puzzles..... I have found joy in a browser. And it is all free! Plus it works on You tube and hulu and netflix....... happiness in a click.

IMHO, it's my primary browser. I will say that if you value privacy, there are things that need to be done to secure said privacy; just Google something like "make Chrome more private" or something like that.
But yeah, when I want to surf, and surf fast, I'll use Chrome. If I'm doing some hardcore geeking, I'll use Firefox.

I love it for browsing since it doesn't have a lot of garbage in it, it's built for speed. I don't do any games except for Angry Birds occasionally when I am bored.

I have read that Google Chrome is a much smaller simplier download than other browsers which makes it less prone to issues.

I'm not really a huge fan of Google. They tend to produce buggy software. BUT Google Chrome is the exception to that rule. It's solid, well supported and fast.
I'm a believer and have been using it for years. I now look at IE and wonder how people could deal with it.

Is either chrome or foxfire tied to a provider such as MS or Yahoo? I'm getting very tired dealing with browser not working messages.

I don't believe either Mozilla or Chrome are tied to yahoo or MSN? They both work on any site though. I feel safest with firefox with the add ons named adblock and noscript. But chrome is fast and has all these cool game aps to add.

You can get adblock and noscript for Chrome also. Just look for extensions under tools.

Oh I missed your statement about Chrome being a Google product. I've had issues with Google. But you say those things don't exist with the use of their browser. Hmmm! interesting. I'm not arguing here. I'm just surprised is all.

I use chrome to check E mails but still prefer Firefox for general browsing. I still get Connection Timed out messages weather I use Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft explorer though. Cannot seem to get this fixed.

It is what Apple uses.
I have a iMac and Safari has been great after having 2 PC's using IE.
And yes it can also be used on Window based machines.

Anybody want to spill the goods (whatever that may entail) on foxfire?

Here is a search that uses googles resources but does not record your IP address. It does not track where you go.

I don't know why so many are worried about Google and others keeping track of where you go.
How many know the Law now says YOUR ISP MUST keep track of where and when and how much you visit sites, for TWO YEARS, some do it even longer.
