With goggles new web browser on the table who's trying it out and what do you think?

After a sketchy start getting it to install properly I have it running and while I'm not super impressed I do think it has some cool features.

Think I'll play it safe and stick with Firefox.

Yeah, FireFox is the way to go. I used to use Internet Explorer but when I realized the speed of FireFox, I will probably never use IE again for my regular browsing.

Well its faster than firefox, about just as secure and its also open source. At the moment I prefer firefox but Im giving it a chance. It has the ability to be a big contender to firefox and as usual IE will just be left behind.

IE will most likely not get left behind - everyone criticizes IE all the time, but that doesn't stop it being the most used browser by a long margin.

I really don't notice tiny increases in speed, so I don't care what browser I use...I shuffle between firefox, opera and chrome depending on my mood (and use IE rarely when there are site compatibility issues) - Though I use FF most, since I have so many add-ons that I'd find hard to live without on it.

IE tends to keep up as a matter of user ignorance. The amount of people who use IE just because its A. All they know how to use or B. They don't give any other web browser a chance just because its different to what they are used to is unbelievable.

I'll stick with FireFox until the proper release comes out.

Latest market share figures

IE 71% oh dear....
Firefox 19.8% <= needs more!
Safari 6.7% <= surprisingly high because when I tried it I thought it was pretty sucky...
Opera 0.75% <= been out years but could seen be beaten by chrome that's been out days! ...I thought this would be higher - I use Opera and think it's pretty good...
Chrome 0.7%

Still firefox ftw for me!

And for those who say Chrome is loads faster than firefox...I've seen comparisons and the difference in load times is a matter of milliseconds...I'm sure you wouldn't notice that...

I don't have any add-ons on Firefox. I haven't even changed the theme.

I haven't tried this, but it can't compare to Firefox, surely.. I mean, it's only beta.
 
 
Because I'm great!
