|  Google Chrome Anyone else using the new browser yet? I just downloaded it and it seems to be quite fast. The only thing I don't like so far is the lack of middle mouse button scrolling. |

| I have been with Firefox for a while. Not being able to scroll with the middle wheel is enough to keep me from it :-( |

X2.. I use the heck out of that middle wheel. Then just push it in and scroll.. If chrome doesn't have that, I won't switch either | |

| Yeah, I didn't like that at first, but the wheel down scroll in Chrome is much faster than it was in Firefox....which is why I used the push middle button scroll. There are quite a few other goodies in Chrome....I'm still looking through them all. |

| Yeah, I also know that I didnt change any of the wheel options after I installed Chrome...;) Hey, I am not trying to convert anyone here...it benefits me in no manner. I was simply asking who was using this new browser. |

| Well, figured I'd give it a try. So far i like it. Is there a quick way to transfer my bookmarks from firefox? Nevermind, figured it out a few seconds after posting, as usual. I like the bookmark setup at the top. Last edited by Jamus; 09-02-2008 at 09:31 PM. |

| Yeah, it should transfer bookmarks and history upon installation. I like the bookmark setup as well... |

| Looks good. As an opera user I like it. Gonna use it some more though. Way better than Firefox (it opens quickly and without the need for bloated memory hog programs) Doesn't install through Opera, so I had to resort to IE8 beta 2 which it worked in oddly. I notice it loads and renders pictures much slower than Opera. Also when I scroll its not smooth, while in Opera and even IE8 beta 2 its very smooth. What do you guys mean middle mouse scroll? I have a scroll wheel and it works fine...you guys click the scroll button, I never liked that slower method of scrolling. |
