Anywas, would you mind elaborating on the Grease monkey equivalent, have heard a lot about it but i have to say i am not that internet savvy. Is there any post where you elaborate the GreaseMonkey thing ,will be happy to go through it.

I stopped using Chrome and will give it another reconsideration as soon as the Chrome extensions start appearing. But, with the Greasemonkey equivalent for Chrome out, I might start using it as a Prsim alternative soon for web apps like Google reader. Since, it's in beta it's probably for a lot of people and not just yours.

Strange to say that Google Anayltics is the website that gets stuck the most for me.Ironical i say Anywas,is everyone feeling the same or there is something wrong with mine I have been using chrome for sometime now and i have to say its too slick and light weight.In fact it does not take a lifetime to start like Mozzila(it takes a big 20 odd seconds to show up).

Or maybe they haven't tested it thoroughly yet and didn't want to wait. John, that seems to the feeling with Firefox users as most of us have learnt to live with these add-ons.

But, my Fuirefox as probably like any others' is loaded with juicy extensions. Firefox is here to stay for me too but Chrome could be fighting for its spot where I use Mozilla Prism. Louise, me too. I'd probably use Chrome for it's web application shortcut feature for a few webapps but someone has to seriously come up with Greasemonkey for me to use Gmail or Google Reader in Chrome. kouji, that is something the Firefox team should take not of maybe for version 4.0. I love competition. :-) Andrew, you know I write about Firefox here more than anything but I love to try new things. Especially when it comes from Google. The new javascript engine definitely makes Gmail and Google Reader very fast in Chrome. Michael, good ol' trusty Firefox is for me too. However, with Chrome being an open source software there are many positives I can see Firefox picking up from it. Plus, the Firefox community is sure to come up with extensions for features that are in Chrome, if they don't already exist. Simon, that's right. I'd love to see Chrome become portable so I can throw it in my flash drive and use it on the road.
