yeah, but there are 4-5 major browsers to choose from. which means Chrome is faring very weel indeed in this poll.
Why is it suprising? It's not that hard to get roughly a 50/50 split when your choices are limited to basically answering yes or no. You can probably get the same numbers with Firefox or IE9.
not if Chrome has 50% "yes" answers if this poll is any indication. if Chrome has 50% of the "yes" answers, it only leaves 50% between Firefox and IE. unless i'm missing something.
And that's surprising because if you look at the other browser poll you'll see that Chrome does not have such a large share on Wilders.
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=303072 Chrome: 36% Opera: 36% Firefox: 41% and then various others I guess a topic about Chrome just attracts the Chrome users.
The other poll also has more browsers to choose from as options, this is the point I'm trying to make. When its as simple as answering yes or no to 1 browser instead of 4-5 browsers it's not to hard to get a 50/50 split. @ moontan - What I meant is if you take the same exact poll as this one except replace the word Google Chrome with Firefox or IE9 then you will probably get the same results.
And they are two completely different poll questions. One asks for your favourite and the other asks do you use browser x, y or z. Incomparable conclusions will be formed from the results. If this poll were to simply ask is Google Chrome your favourite and you waited for 186 responses then a comparison could be made. I answered in this poll that I use Chrome but it is not my favourite...
I try not to use anything that leaves things behind like the google updater, so no, I also don't find it any faster than ff or ie.
in my tests using a stopwatch, the times were similar on average, Chrome vs IE9. Firefox was slower but that was version 4, it probably is faster these days. but it doesn't matter how fast it really is, but how fast it *feels* like. 'feel'-wise. i'd say Chrome and Firefox. IE9 just feels way too 'clunky' and sluggish. security-wise, and only from that point of view. i'd go with Chrome or IE. that is, 'out-of-the-box' with no extra addons.
Chrome "feels" much MUCH faster for me. That's because I often type things into the omnibox and I have omnibox prerendering on. It's very effective. I agree, Chrome and IE are the two most secure browsers. I personally put Chrome on top of IE for security because of the Flash sandboxing but IE will block more socially engineered malware.
Firefox in here... for how long? Dunno, it's up to Mozilla. Personaly I have been forced to use Firefox - glad I did btw - for the past 2 weeks due to a major bug in Chromium/Webkit source. But it's funny how personal experience can vary, e.g., in my latest JS tests - certainly not thorough enough - it was Firefox 7.0.1 the fastest, not Chromium (I'm talking of Chromium not Chrome since I don't bother with the former).
Do you think that Firefox is a secure as Chrome & IE with NoScript enabled? I assume you are talking about Chrome & IE being safer 'out of the box' so to speak.
OK. I reckon this is another thing Mozilla needs to think about. I've been experimenting with the 64 bit IE 9 on my desktop PC, from what I can see it does look quite secure. I wonder how Chrome really compares to SRWare Iron security-wise?
I would expect they're just about the same. I don't have experience with Iron though. Does Iron sandbox Flash/ come with it? Chrome's able to give users developer version of Flash that are often patched before the stable version.
Been using it on my main desktop pc for a few weeks now. Just decided one day to try something different from firefox and so far its been a great experience.
