Reasons we don't use Chrome (participation wanted !)

[Firstmate]

No stable plugin engine.

[Raa]

Chrome kicks butt, they're updating and adding to it all the time (developer versions) - which is a big plus in my book!

[AltecXP]

Because it doesn't install to the Program Files directory, it instead installs to a Users profile folder as if it's spyware trying to hide.

I use chrome because it's fast. I've never used adblock because it is immoral, so I don't miss it in Chrome. Sometimes I boot up Firefox to use some addon, but this isn't so often for me. I prefer using a fast browser until I need to use some addon, than use a slow browser all the time.

1-No support for RoboForm :crazy:, it is impossible for me to trust any browser's automatic password saving specially after an experience in 2007 :no: , there are many tools that already can get passwords saved in Chrome as well as almost any other browser's passwords :shiftyninja:, but for RoboForm and other password saving professional tools which use real encryption none exists :cool: .

2-No support for Babylon :x , so i can't just click with my mouse to know the meaning of any word instantly, i have to copy then open babylon then paste then click enter :huh: ! that simply sucks !

Those are the 2 main reasons which made me didn't switch to Chrome and keep with FireFox, nothing else ! :woot:

What are your reasons ? :rolleyes:

Becuse IE8 does everything I need. There is absolutly no reason to use anything else, at least for me.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

Because the os x build is still early development ;)

[dead.cell]

Addons. Need good addons.

[jordan399]

I use chrome because FF 3.5 is slow as balls for whatever reason (3 was fine)

[Admodieus]

No XMarks support. I suspect that will come when they make add-ons readily available, though.

[xdot.tk]

Google is blatantly retarded installing that thing in a profile folder. Oh and Google Updater. What's up with that.

Anyways I do use SRWare Iron on occasion but I keep going back to FF because I prefer it's interface and extensions.

[John S. Veteran]

I use it in Windows on my secondary machine. I don't use it on my primary Mac because they don't support PPC's.

[Udedenkz]

Addons. Need good addons.

[cork1958]

+1 - for the same reasons.

Another +1 here, but I also use it because it it ISN'T Firefox!!

Actually,

Recently quit using Chrome and went back to playing around with SRware Iron.

[Syanide]

I'm super happy with Firefox.

[Lee G. Veteran]

I'm super happy with Firefox.

[Fraud OS 11]

I don't like the minimal download window/download experience.

[Softland]

Finally someone agree with me !

I googled and found many others too agree:

Good thing is that roboform will work with it by the end of this year, that's one of the reasons i don't use it either.

[MrA]

Because there's no stable version for Linux.

That doesn't stop me from using it. For me, it's much more stable than FF (on Linux), and it's faster. I use it on my netbook, work Laptop, and as my main browser on my work Desktop (all three Linux).

Then again, I use FF on OSX since there's no compelling reason for me to switch.

[Jayayess1190]

No XMarks support. I suspect that will come when they make add-ons readily available, though.

Xmarks is working on Chrome support.

[.Neo]

It uses a non-standard interface which sticks out like a sore toe on Mac OS X.

[Golferjim]

FireFox is everything a man could wish for.... In my books :p

[thiXkull]

well heloo..

did everyone forget the load times of firefox and internet on even todays 10000 core processes processors and can someone compare that with chrome.

well personally i use chrome even though it lacks the addon features because its CLEAN and SIMPLE and it DOES what a BROWSER is supposed to do.

And, as many of us who are here are Advanced Users we expect to get MORE THAN BASICS in our browsers

up :)

[HighwayGlider]

Simply bcoz one cannot move from Opera to Chrome. Unless Chrome includes all opera fetaures + firefox addons.
