Firefox is still safe

Earlier today, I recommended Google chrome as a browser that you might want to try after I stumbled upon it and noticed better quality photos and text on it.

Well, on second thought, stay with firefox - I am. While I am impressed with the resoultion, brightness and quality of the photos and images on chrome and the way it displays recently viewed pages as snapshots on the history screen, there are a couple of serious shortcomings that neutralize my original enthusiasm for the site.

You can't use a toolbar like Google or any others. There is no spell checker, form fill-in or other features. As a matter of fact (according to the Q+A found in their help section), the Google toolbar specifically is incompatiable with the Google chrome site. Amazing!

There are no title tags visible, so all of the SEO is lost to readers. It's still there, you just can't see it.

Nice try - too bad it came up short.

Move over firefox

First there was netscape, then internet explorer. I got all the way up to IE7. Then I started having glitches, loading, and resolution issues with IE7 and people here on the Rain suggested Mozilla's firefox. That was a good move. Still some issues with speed. Is that firefox or is that AR - or both?

I had downloaded Google chrome several weeks ago and had never done anything with it, but I have been hearing more and more about it.

Yesterday as I was going through my list of programs, there it was. Why not? So I opened it.

The photos are brighter than firefox. The pages seem to load quicker, and when you close the browser and reopen it, everything comes right back (if you select that option).

So, firefox has better graphics and photo resolution and brightness than IE - and Google chrome beats them both.

The only drawback so far is that there is no toolbar for spellcheck or other features, but I'm overlooking that for now.
