Yes but in terms of the web browser what part of the UI do you actually use to browse the web other than the address bar? Which is almost uniform to all browsers in some respect. I mean, once you are on whatever webpage you get to, you are just either clicking links or typing text which has almost nothing to do with the browsers UI.
Perhaps some people do more with their web browser than browse the web (not sure what else there is to do with it) but aside from 2 buttons and an address bar I dont even look at the UI of my web browser.
I will agree that when Chrome came out it was significantly faster than any other browser I had used, but since they have been toying with it that just isnt the case anymore on my machine.
Im just gonna say this, on my computer every web browser "renders" computer forum in the same exact format. So the only reason for me to choose one over the other is security. Iv never seen a browser "render" a website "better" than another browser.

I do agree with this. For me, it's still faster than any other browser but just barley. Chrome would be open in a half of a second on Chrome 7, but now it takes a few seconds

I don't like Chrome cause always asks at opening web page for keying crap on Linux{ i use Firefox} .On win vista i use IE9 cause it's more friendly to me and Firefox asks for Flash Player,and chrome the favorites and task-bar and browser is not so easier for me as it's in Firefox or IE
I use Chrome on Ubuntu I don't know what you're talking about. It asks me nothing.

He's probably talking about the keyring bullcrap, but I don't get that very often with Chrome on Ubuntu. You'll get it with other apps as well though.
I never get it, only when updating or installing a software.

There is a difference between key ring and the system needing root password to be able to proceed with system alterations.
Ok then I'm not getting what this means.

It is a little odd for him to be getting key ring on Ubuntu, key ring (gnome) or kwallet (kde) I only see on other distributions with enterprise in mind, since Ubuntu is more consumer focused I am pretty sure key ring is disabled by default, though not sure since I don't run a form of Ubuntu or Debian anymore.
ivtec: I would check some settings with key ring if it keeps annoying you, you shouldn't have it popping up with Chrome, I think the only time I remember seeing key ring is when using gnome default packages like evolution is an example I remember key ring.
Appreciate your response, but i can get Firefox in my Pc out of the box without that annoying crap every time i open browser( keyring or whatever you call it), and i tried to get rid of it but i failed maybe cause i don't like to work on a browser settings if i have the choice of many browsers that just let me default stuff the easy way and if those default settings are good for. me.

Cool, have you tried Firefox nightly builds yet?
What is That DMGrier?please elaborate.
i use firefox on Ubuntu12.04, and In Xubuntu, on my Sony Vaio Laptop, and on My main Lenovo Desktop,
on my debian aple PPC i run Iceweasel,
and on my Remaining Win vista Laptop i like IE9, i tried firefox the other day and i wanted to watch live video streaming and it told me i had to install Flash player i've downloaded it and still could not access the live video and i got mad and uninstalled it right away and reinstalled IE9, i hate when these things don't run out of the box.

Not for day to day use, quite unstable.

I use it for day to day use and no problems, and from what I have seen on many different distro forums most people have no problems with nightly builds.
ivtec: Nightly builds is what Firefox is testing for the next version of Firefox, in my experience very stable, but even if something was to happen it is a separate application from the main Firefox application. Meaning your Firefox application goes untouched even if nightly was to completely crap out, and if anyone is wondering cause I have been asked this on other forums it does use a separate profile. If you are interested in giving it a try for Ubuntu all you do is....
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-trunklucasbytegenius

Well, the versions are different, but they both share the same profile, so Firefox stable may still be affected.

No they do not, search the Ubuntu forums as this has already been discussed and proven they use different profiles unless you alter that yourself.
I've been using a lot of web browsers (in virtual machines) lately because I've been creating a website and I needed to test it in a variety of browsers to make sure they render the site properly.
I still use Chrome as my main web browser and but I use Firefox, Pale Moon, Safari, Opera and 'Midori' (which I had never even heard of until a friend informed me about it) in a VM to test my website on.
I also test my website on older browsers too - I have a VM of Vista with IE9, a VM of XP which I switch between IE7 and 8 on, and even Windows 2000 with IE5 and 6. Since I've dropped support for IE7 and older now, I won't be using those older browsers half as much.
