Chrome Is The Fastest Browser Ever – Says Who?

Now that Google has brought Chrome to us, do not fall prey to all of the rhetoric that has filled the Internet. The headlines that says Chrome is a direct attack on IE or Firefox is 100% pure BS. The benchmark tests comparing the browsers are meaning less.
Chrome was just released and one major publication already had a 7 things I like and 7 things I dislike about the new browser. Amazing! How could anyone make that fast of a judgment call on a new product? One of the listed 7 dislikes was laughable. The author said that Chrome didn’t have any extensions available similar to what Firefox offers.
Excuse me. Chrome is in beta. Beta means it is a test version. The purpose of beta software is to find problems by having the public test the new software. What does a lack of extensions have to do with anything?
Day 2 after Chrome was released found headlines that wanted us to believe that Chrome was going to be a IE or Firefox killer. Give me a frick-in break people. Chrome has a long way to go before it can even be compared to either IE or Firefox. Again, this is for testing purposes. Chrome is currently not a full replacement for either of the two well known browsers.
One other thought. Does anyone really believe that the current version of Chrome is the best Google has to offer? One can only guess that this is just a preview of things to come.

Hi George,
I have to agree. I have Firefox tweaked to my liking and it runs well. As you stated, Chrome isn’t bad. Thanks for stopping by.
Hopefully LG will stay up and running.

I liked Chrome.I dumped it when the eVGA freeze issue started a few days ago, but I was impressed how it seemlessly brought my info from FFox. Better than I’d ever seen.
I had no complaints as everything I use plugins for was there in Chrome. Even a status bar download like the FFox plug-in I won’t live without.
If Chrome can avoid the FFox problem of certain ‘MS’ websites not liking FFox, it will hurt IE - I hope.
I just remembered that the IE emulation plug-in was a BAD program in the memory eatage problem I had. The plug-in by itself wasn’t an eater, but combined with other certain plug-ins, was a piggy.
I dumped it and helped the memory eating problem considerably. (I posted about the mem eatage on the FFox pirillo page post)
Later,

As a usual user, I think chrome is the fastest. I can really feel it with my slow internet connection.
