I'm running Chrome now with no conflicts accessing PC Pitstop, or for that matter, 99% of other sites. Faster and more user friendly. Link it to iGoogle and you have a fully customizable Home Page WITH NO ADS! I leave IE 7 for the once in a while conflict sites.
Use what you want. I like consistency and only seem to get it with this combo. Browsers come, and browsers go, I think Chrome is here to stay. Just remember it is a newborn when you compare it to the others. It's only on it's "Shakedown Cruise" give it some time. You did that with the rest, didn't you?

I've tried to run scans on pc pitstop with Opera and was told to run home and bring back IE. Is it a wonder IE is at the top? I only use IE when required, otherwise it's Opera. It does what I need it to do and it does it consistently well.

I use all 3 browser for different purposes:

IE7 for sites that require IE (e.g. PCPitstop and Buy.com)

Chrome for the Application Shortcuts when I want quick access to a particular web app (such as Google Calendar)

Firefox for everything else mainly because of the Extensions

I believe in using the right tool for the job at hand. You can always use the browser that does best what you want to do at the moment.

I'm usually not one who is
first in line for a new
browser, but I'm very
impressed with some of the
new features already.
"Most Visited Sites" and
"Recent Bookmarks" on the
opening page makes things
much quicker to locate that
I use on a regular basis.

Chrome ran very fast and reliable for me but was practically useless because all my logins are held in Roboform – which is not yet interfaced to Chrome……..

Major oversight by Google not getting Roboform onside before releasing Chrome.

IE8 doesn't play well with Java yet. Same as Google, as it requires Java 6 build 10, and then errors on most things or doesn't display them properly. When the Java issue is sorted out, I'll be using IE8 exclusively. I just like it.

Right now I'm back to IE7 and FF. Google didn't last on my machine for more than a day. Partly because of the privacy issues, partly because of the Java issues, but mostly because of the lack of options. It screws up my favorites list just like FF does, and takes all day to redo it (quite large). I really didn't like the way it remembered the places I'd visited either. I tend to clear that ASAP from every browser.

We own two computers. The newer, bigger one has Firefox 3 on it, and it works fine there, but I still use Firefox 2 on the one in my den, as it is smaller and older. I rarely use IE unless a website requires it. FTR: I've found that many sites which require IE won't accept the plug-in for Firefox.

I've experimented with Safari and Chrome, and before I found Firefox, I used Opera a lot. For *my* purposes, Firefox 2 is still the best on my older machine. On the bigger one, all of them work, but I don't care for the look of Safari, and both it and Chrome have too many direct connections to their "home bases" for my comfort. I am willing to keep Chrome in mind for the future, and when the time comes to buy a replacement for my den computer, I will be very willing to give all of the available browsers a real workout. I would really like to see how they operate when there is almost nothing on my computer but the OS.

I use IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Firefox. I like Opera best of all. I have 4 gig of ram and am connecting by DSL, so speed has not been an issue. I have to use IE7 32bit for PC Pitstop, because my IE7 64bit edition will not run PC Pitstop, no matter what settings I use.
