Chrome: What do I need?!

TheMailMan78 · Jan 12, 2012, 09:48 PM

Ok I decided to give Chrome a try coming from IE9 due to a problem I had with fonts. For all the Chrome junkies on TPU I wanna know any tricks or tips out there for this thing.

erocker · Jan 12, 2012, 09:54 PM

This is what I do:

Install it.

Use it as a browser. Not much more to it than that.

kid41212003 · Jan 12, 2012, 09:57 PM

the trick is not to do anything

boogerlad · Jan 12, 2012, 09:59 PM

turn on experimental apis in flags
install adblock plus for chrome experimental

TheLaughingMan · Jan 12, 2012, 10:12 PM

Use Opera instead is the best add-on.

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 12, 2012, 11:08 PM

So what don't you like about FF? Not suggesting that you use it instead just wondering...

kid41212003 · Jan 12, 2012, 11:21 PM

I can guess.

Chrome is new.

FF is really old.

People like to try new thing.

It is not necessarily better, but it's the "new" thing.

They are all about the same, but as the Internet has taught us, we must chose our side and fight to the death about the pros and cons of our personal choice. What he asked us for is irrelevant.

OPERA!!!!!!

dunno, been using Chrome since its early stages, liking it since then (liked the default minimalist design since i have a small monitor back then) and I use Opera on my mobile phone

No! You must have 5000 add-ons and plugins so you can look leet to your only friend, your mom, as she yells at you from upstairs to get off the computer and get a job.

TacoTown · Jan 13, 2012, 12:51 AM

Since were already on this topic does anyone know if theres a addon so you can use the short cuts from opera (CRTL+space=home) and stuff like that
