I am using Chrome, and the ability to pimp it out a bit is definitely to my liking. I am having technical difficulties here though. The add extention change to Chrome gets rejected as an invalid file path.

Great! Google Chrome is becoming more and more popular so this extension list will keep on growing. Web designers also need to keep compatibility into consideration as Google Chrome is growing into a fine browser…

Don’t forget you can use and userscripts in google chrome which is what really persuaded me to switch to the Dev version full time. You need to put them here (in windows 7):
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts
Most will work. Some won’t. It’s a matter of trial and error.

Well the above came out horribly….. the directory structure is wrong and should read:
C:\Users\”Your Login Name”\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts
There is also an AdBlock+ extension for chrome which is much better than AdSweep.
You’ll need to google that one.

Good things, but not even close to extensions in Fireworks
No firebug equivalent and no real del.icio.us extension makes Chrome a nice toy but no more. Pity, since I like the speed and simplicity.

Hmm, maybe its time to give the G Chrome another chance. Do you by chance know if there’s an FTP thingy for Chrome, like FF has?

Even though Chrome is trying to be the Next Firefox it has still a long way to go! But Chrome is capturing the market at a fast pace!

I’ll stick with Firefox for now I think, but it’s getting more and more tempting to switch.
