  "Smarmy like Apple PCs"

  May 22, 2012  |   By RobCr

  Pros

  None that I could find.

  Smarmy like Apple PCs
  Emphasis on looking pretty, and minimalistic
  Difficult to find settings.
  They should build in something like NoScript

  Summary

  Use FireFox instead (with NoScript)

  "Back button doesn't work"

  March 27, 2012  |   By mukome

  Version: Google Chrome 17.0.963.46

  Pros

  Back button sometimes works.

  Cons

  Incredibly, the back button does not respond, and the previous page is lost in the browsing history.

  Summary

  Unusable due to broken back button. I have nothing against Chrome, but I can't use it. Mindboggling that CNET would call it "spectacular", given this fatal defect.

  "Yes Chrome is fast but.. over all firefox is better"

  March 24, 2012  |   By zMick

  Version: Google Chrome 17.0.963.46

  Pros

  graphics seem better or brighter on chrome, Google does fairly good job for support the beta version..

  Cons

  The flash problem is the biggest flaw.. playing audio at certain sites.. that I visit daily for some reason will not play any longer because of that darn white list.. seems you have to have 64-bit or higher to fix this problem.

  Summary

  I say try whatever is out there.. if you are using 32-bit.. You will have to upgrade soon or else nothing will work right.. its starting to happen to me.

  "VERY SLOW!!"

  March 23, 2012  |   By atvinka

  Version: Google Chrome 17.0.963.46

  Pros

  it played videos without being interrupted

  Cons

  It was the slowest browser i have ever used. sometimes it took up to 5 minutes to load a new tab. I just switched back to mozilla and I don't have any problems.

  Summary

  Use Google Chrome only if you have a high RAM. Mine is 3GB and it was still extremely slow. I recommend Mozilla Firefox over Google Chrome any day.

  "Use it only if your desperate."

  March 20, 2012  |   By lazlo12

  Version: Google Chrome 17.0.963.46

  Pros

  I can't get my games on FB to play. But they work a little better on Chrome. The pages may load fast, but most of the time it comes back with an error !

  Cons

  Where to begin ! It took me over a week to figure out how to use Chrome. It took me just a few hours to learn FF. I have to open a new page and then click on google to do a search & then half the time it won't come up with anything ! It's constantly saying "Can't find page" or "Can't load page" on pages I've been to a hundred times.When I imported my favs from FF it didn't transfer all of them (I guess it didn't like some of them). Most of my addons don't work. And I only had 4 addons ! I only use Chrome to go on FB & the rest of the time I use FF, nuff said !

  Summary

  Wouldn't recommend it unless your having trouble loading a game. FF is superior in all ways that matter.

  "Lightweight browser = extra speed"

  March 17, 2012  |   By ElectroBradford

  Version: Google Chrome 17.0.963.46

  Pros

  Very lightweight. It spreads its process into several different ones for optimal speed. Also has a process manager--basically a task manager for Chrome--that you can use to close pages or extensions that are causing trouble. The app store is wonderful and extensions are easy to install. Also the browser takes up minimal monitor space.

  Cons

  Err, I find it kind of hard to find any cons with Chrome without being picky. I guess my only con would to be that it isn't as customizable as Mozilla Firefox is; I guess I am spoiled by browsers (however that works).

  Summary

  I recommend this product for anyone who has a slow connection speed or wants a minimal browser that is effective.
