Do we really need another web browser?

    Just downloaded Google Chrome. I've been needing another tabbed browser since I downloaded Firefox 3 and my four-year computer won't run it (and then I tried to go back to 2.0.16 or whatever and it wouldn't install, so I couldn't even open Firefox anymore). Best feature: when I installed it, it automatically transferred all of my bookmarks and passwords from Firefox into the new browser. Now that's service. It was the only thing that was keeping Firefox on my computer in the first place - I had three years' worth of passwords saved on that browser and I didn't want to A-lose them all or B-have to go through and write them all down.

    I downloaded it the other night.

    I've only used Explorer (well, I used Nestcape when I first started in the mid 90's).

    Like it a lot. It's clean, it's simple, it's uncluttered.

    It's also a helluva lot faster than Explorer

    About the only thing I don't like about Chrome is that there is no ad blocker.

    No, we don't need another web browser (says I, who hasn't found anything better than IE6).

    The more I use Chrome, the more I like it. It's definitely faster than Firefox and Flock.

    It needs an ad blocker but damn, I'm using it right now and it's incredibly fast, both on page loads and initial startup. Impressive.

    The main beef I had with Chrome -- no ad blocker -- has been solved:

    I've got to hack a program to make it work the way I want? Oh well, might as well check it out. It works for you?

    That ad blocker works, yes.
