   Reviewing 5.0.317.2 Beta (Feb 9, 2010)

   There is an extension named Autozoom, that will fix the problem.
   
   I'm a hardcore Firefox user, but after the last release of Chrome, I'm about to switch browser.
   
   4 stars - Not there yet, but it's really close.

   Reviewing 5.0.317.2 Beta (Feb 9, 2010)

   I found it odd that there are users who prefers Google Chrome or Opera to Firefox as an IE-alternative.
   
   My PC runs on XP. Didn't u need to zoom in to have a better viewing experience every time you visit your favorite sites when u use Chrome or Opera? Or its just only me who need to zoom in to get the page extends from side to side to see clearly with bigger font every time I open the browser or a new tab.
   
   With firefox, I only have to do this (zoom in) once in a life time for every url as firefox remembers this setting. (I'm sorry. I just realized that the latest release of Chrome 5.0.317.2 Beta actually came with this feature of remembering zoom level of individual sites.)
   
   And didn't u need to set page setup for printing sometimes, say margins or scale (enlarge/reduce) which is not available in Chrome or its just only happened to me?
   
   And didn't u need to revisit the sites u last visited sometimes? With firefox u only need to click twice from the History menu at the top whereas with Chrome or Opera, I'm sure it's more than two clicks.

   I have used, Explorer, Firefox, Maxthon and Avant Browser before Chrome. Even tested the new Opera. But I must say, Avant Browser was really good, i loved the idea of being able to save bookmarks, and passwords in an account, that you can access anywhere.
   
   However, I switched to Chrome last year and Im never going back to any of the above. Chrome is so fast and simple that its unbelievable that noone came up with this idea before. It meets all my daily needs and works perfect with all my favorite sites.

   I like the speed but I hate the shell and toolbar

   Duh fast because it is so basic.
   
   Still way to many issues to even look at it seriosly.
   
   People kill me let's give up all kinds of functionality
   for a fraction of a second speed increase LOL.

   I've tried the adblock+ extension and it pales compared to what you can do with Opera or Firefox.
   
   The mouse gestures (mouse stroke) one isn't much better.
   
   It'll take a couple more years before G Chrome makes it to the big league.

   I keep seeing people talking about various addons for Chrome, but I am running 3.0.195.27 and I see no plugin/addon support anywhere. Nothing about it on Google, either.

   Hello, by default Google Chrome will not update to Dev channel releases such as the 2.0 branch.
   
   Read this for details on how to get the updater to update to Dev channel builds: http://dev.chromium.org/...ng-involved/dev-channel

   Is this an upgrade? Supposedly, Google Chrome does an upgrade automatically. If you click on tools/about chrome, it says whether it is up to date. Mine says Google Chrome up to date (1.0.154.48)
