Full Screen is F11 like other browsers

I tried Chrome and I liked it. Thought it was fast and spiffy. But. Until I can add-on extensions to block adverts and flash, I’ll stick with Firefox. Wish it were otherwise, ’cause I *really* liked it’s look/feel/speed.

I noticed that plug-ins like Java and Quicktime didn’t work for me with Chrome, and I couldn’t see a way to add them to the browser.

Chrome is killer – it’s fast, its interface is useful yet minimal, and it’s smart about using Windows’ system-wide Internet settings (proxy, Flash, and such) automatically.

A full-screen mode would be nice, but maximizing such a minimally-decorated window is so close to full-screen…

Extensions, of course, would be fantastic. I’m lost without Evernote and Google Notebook extensions.

Also, Chrome still definitely feels like a beta product (a good beta, but still). I get occasional “sad tabs”, some PDFs are borked (but work fine in Firefox and IE), some Flash won’t play, etc.

There’s a lot of potential, but it will be a while before I use it as my primary browser.

I was using it non-stop for a while, but the two problems I’m having have forced me back to Firefox:

- Facebook is basically unusable with Chrome.
- YouTube videos refuse to play.

i’m of the same opinion. Still using firefox due to chrome’s lack of add-ons. Especially my beloved GOOGLE toolbar. Shocking, isn’t it???

Nothing much Google/Chrome can do to kick me out of my Firefox add-on addiction.

That said Chrome is now my secondary browser of choice (i.e. the program I use to access multiple accounts or I tell my friends to use on my computer instead of my bloated Firefox).

And Opera falling back behind Chrome is not at all surprising, it’s the mobile browsers Opera does best and I think the company knows it by now.

The market share may fade, but it will also likely surge again when the Mac and Linux versions are released. I haven't had a chance to try it yet on my Macbook Pro. Also might be worth noting that Firefox is already catching up, both on the surface, and under the hood.

I think it is a good start, but I love the control various Firefox extensions (like Tab Mix Plus, Stylish)give me over the behaviour of the browser, so not going to make Chrome my primary browser yet.

I like the general feel of Chrome, but I miss my delicious tag button. Also, it has occasionally become unresponsive. And, finally, the right-click-over-a-squiggly-red-line-word to correct spelling doesn’t work.

I’m back to Firefox as my primary browser.
