I currently use FF....but my IT guy is saying that FF has gone the way of IE now. Updates nearly every day. And FF 3.5 is buggy as hell. I've stayed with FF 3. but considering giving Chrome a try.

Does Chrome have ad block?

After years of avoiding windows, I am finally running IE8 on one of my work computers. It's actually an all right browser, as long as you don't go anywhere or click on anything.

I installed Google Chrome today on my MB Pro. Hated it. Their tab browsing is shiite.

Gone back to FF.

Chrome does not have a true blocking API, it can only hide loaded content as Google is greedy plus most sites are optimized for two, maybe three browsers (IE, FF, and sometimes Safari)

FWIW the mac version isn't as far along as the windows version in terms of development and stability. give it time.

Also, what version of osx are you using?

eh, italian would look really really good but would never run right.

spanish would have lots of small windows but never enough information to leave you satisfied.

swiss would stay right in the middle of your desktop, never close, and wouldn't load any suspicious websites.

FF 3.6 released:

If you've been counting down the hours until the next release of Firefox hits doorsteps, you can now officially reset the clock. Firefox 3.6 has dropped its beta label and shimmied out into the wide world, boasting a slew of new add-ons and features which should make even the most selective browser enthusiast jump gingerly skyward whilst clicking one's heels. Included in the latest and greatest is support for browser thumbing via "Personas," which seem to be a response to Chrome's theme functionality (allowing users to change looks with one click), improved Javascript support, and most interestingly, improved support for HTML5 video, which further opens the window for all kinds of Flash-dashing activities. We're still not seeing nearly the performance bump present in Safari or Chrome when it comes to page rendering, but if you're going for maximum compatibility, it's hard to beat Firefox. As you can probably guess, the download is free and available now, so go get it.
