It's hard to tell, currently my Win7 desktop runs Chrome, but I have few gripes with it and I could end up to back off to Firefox in the future.

But, on my Win7 TabletPC, I need a touch compatible browser, and I won't take Chrome with a buggy extension when Firefox 4 fully support native touch out of the box.

For what it worth mentioning, on my iPhone, I use iCab Mobile plus a JB tweak to change the default browser.

Safari on iOS and Mac OS X, IE 9 on Windows 7 SP1, and Chrome in Linux Mint 9; Chrome is my secondary on all platforms except iOS and Linux (Firefox as secondary on Linux). I like chrome probably the most and dabble with it a lot on all supported platforms regularly; I think it's my favorite. However, I rely heavily on the tight integration of native browsers to their corresponding platform, with Chrome on Linux being the exception.

Chrome on Windows 7 x64..

Have been very happy with Windows 7 since it launched, and Chrome was a breath of fresh air after a good few years with Firefox. Got fed up of Firefox's ridiculous memory consumption whenever I left browser sessions open for weeks on end without reboots. Chrome takes care of that and gave me a speed boost to boot so.. double win.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
