| 1256599 | 2012-01-30 11:18:00 | Chrome ... some don't like it because they don't take the time to read the bloody instructions ... not mentioning any names ... :D | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1256600 | 2012-01-30 18:23:00 | Firefox for years, but now Chrome. Does everything I need. | wmoore (6009) | ||
| 1256601 | 2012-01-30 20:43:00 | I use IE9. Why use others? Less to break. On occasion, I've perused some of the Internet's saucier content - as I'm sure a few of us have. That's one situation where IE is not a good choice. I will give Chrome a go, the point about updating Firefox and finding add-ons going wrong is something I can attest to being frustrated with. |

| 1256602 | 2012-01-30 21:21:00 | Been a Chrome freak since it came out. Waiting for them to smack out an OS and I will install that as well. http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ My default browser at home is Chrome and has been for several years. Used to use Firefox but it got slow and ugly and every time the browser updated it broke the Addons I had installed. Chrome has not broken a single extension (addon equivalent) with any of the upgrades that have occurred automatically. Chrome is easy, quick and reliable. Same here pretty much. Was using Firefox since it was Phoenix, but then jumped on board as soon as Chrome was 1.0 Chrome is for some reason still frowned upon, although I understand there is a Chrome for Corporate deployment available, so the Chrome supporters at my client's site, of whom there are many, might have to apply appropriate pressure... Yeah we were about to try that at my old place, deploying it through group policy, but the only issue was the constant updates etc, and when there's 300-odd machines each doing a 20-30MB update .... It adds up REAL quick! |

It adds up REAL quick! That might be the issue here too - a LOT more than 300-odd machines at this client!!! Is there no way of having a centralised server pick up the updates and roll them out to client machines over the internal network (rather than each instance on each machine updating automatically and independently over the intertubes on an ad hoc basis)? |

| 1256604 | 2012-01-31 00:03:00 | You could always be *really* quick with the updates? There must be coz I'm *sure* Google would have thought of that, but we never looked into it far enough. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1256605 | 2012-01-31 02:39:00 | One minor issue I have with Chrome is that I have it set to open with a blank page with "about:blank". When I start Chrome, this text appears unselected in the URL and I have to overwrite it - and of course sometimes I forget. FF for instance just opens with a blank page and blank URL. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1256606 | 2012-01-31 03:08:00 | IE9 opens with my home page NZCITY every time unless nzcity is down which does happen every now and then. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

There's a Google ADM/ADMX file that you can use to turn off auto-updates. Then you could only update every few versions (at work we do this; we update every 6 months or so). |
