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.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.
