So Shoot Me I Like Internet Explorer 9!

I agree with itix...FF does seem crashy and a bit slow.

I use Chrome BUT some things don't work on it and it does crash quite often.

Remember the Moog Synthesizer doodle? Didn't work on Google Chrome

Well that doodle didn't work the very day they released on the google.co.uk page, and not just for me

Not sure if it's been fixed now, but overall Chrome is still my favourite, the problems I have with it are the crashes on some websites and when it tries to stream stuff (bbc.co.uk/iplayer for example) IE does a better job at that, at least for me.

That site works like a charm here on Chrome 19.

I can't recall I have ever experienced a Chrome crash during the many years I have been using it (and I have really been using it *a lot*), but you seem have crashes all the time, so I'd say there might be some other problem with your system configuration...

LOL!

I just happen to have crashes with Chrome which I don't experience with IE on some sites.
And streaming seems better on IE that's all.

Just saying that both examples you put forward works like a charm in Chrome, no crashes, no glitches, nothing such, and if you are experience as many problems with Chrome as you say you do, then there might be something else causing it, that's all. Could be a lot of things ranging from weird SW Firewalls or anti spyware SW you hare running, misconfiguration of privileges or some other misconfiguration somewhere else in your system, whatever. Release versions of Chrome is very stable, top notch in all aspects, and if you can't even play that simple radio stream or that Moog doodle (they *are both* working in Chrome), then you *do* have a problem, and the way I see it, it's not a problem directly tied to Chrome...

What I am saying is that through the years I have noticed that Chrome sucks at some things and it does other things better than other browsers. This is not based on one day observation. And the doodle didn't work in Chrome on the very first day but it started working a few hours later.

OK, you have problems with Chrome, even with simple sites/things as streaming audio, and have had it for a long time obviously, while I have *never* had a  single problem like that (been using Chrome for many, many years), rather the opposite actually, it just works, with everything, everywhere, faster than anything else. If you think your problems and inabilities (like streaming audio from that BBC site, for example, which simply *works*) lies in the Chrome software and not in your own, local system configuration, then I digress...

As Gertsy says, there are some people who have problems with Google Chrome. Simple as that. Now IF it is my configuration or not that is not the point, I am not going to start troubleshooting everything just to make Chrome work properly, I just use IE9 and be done with it. For example I don't have crashes on any site with IE but I do with chrome, it comes up with "Ooops Chrome just crashed".

But Chrome is still my main browser because it's quick.
