I curently use Firefox, but Google keeps asking me if I want Google Chrome. Do I? Should I download it as an alternative?

Or is it frought with disaster?

Using it now, MUCH prefer it to anything else I`ve tried. Just give it a chance.
And if you don`t like it don`t use it.

I prefer Chrome myself but there's nothing seriously wrong with Firefox.

Go with Chrome then uninstall Adobe Flash, your PC security will be 100% better.

dont we need adobe reader

JackClark

Adobe Reader is great, Adobe Flash is a terrible source of malicious software. Google Chrome will run Flash content without Adobe Flash.

Chrome is the best and quickest browser I've used

TBH no idea why anybody uses IE anymore - when you run both side-by-side you quickly realise how inefficient it is!

Now you can install Chrome Apps etc it's even better - I've got Angry Birds on mine lol

I downloaded Chrome on my little Asus netbook a month ago. So much faster than IE.
Also use Google Chrome now. I have nover used Firefox though, so can't really compare it.

More garbage from Jack, nice one.

Actually, Adobe Reader generates more security patches than Adobe Flash Player. Adobe Flash is not a "terrible source of malicious software", it's security sandbox is very strong. Google Chrome will *not* run Flash content without Adobe Flash Player.

JackClark

Garbage, hardly.

And Google Chrome does come with it's own version of Flash Player, when you've finished learning from link above how about typing something else in, learn some more.

IWatkins

Right, so a few patches due to security risks makes a piece of software a "terrible source of malicious software" ?

Google Chrome does ship with plugins to run Flash content, oh guess what, it's Adobe Flash Player. So your statement that Chrome will run Flash content without Adobe Flash Player is wrong.

JackClark

I should have been more detailed agreed. Google Chrome runs with it's own version of Adobe Flash Player which has been proven to be far safer than the standard version.

Ask a security professional what makes PC so insecure and the answer will be IE and Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash is a terrible source of malicious software, proven.

warrenm2

Im a security professional and that is over generalised nonsense. Yes both have security flaws but so does 99% of commercial software

JackClark

As a security professional perhaps you'll tell us which two pieces of installed software are responsible for the most security vulnerabilities?

JackClark

And Flash is racing up the charts again!!!

I don't understand why people defend this useless junk.

Worth a read

"[The safest browser is] Chrome or IE8 on Windows 7 with no Flash installed. There probably isn't enough difference between the browsers to get worked up about. The main thing is not to install Flash!"

Nothing to do with the fact that Apple doesn't support Flash then??

Sony. All I am going to say!

I've always used IE on my PCs but also see the Chrome download link.
Does anyone have a screenshot of what it looks like?
I did download another browser a few years ago (can't remember what it was now?) but it looked like it was for kids - very amimated

Everything to do with it. It's tiresome in the extreme. Jack does not actually know his **** from his elbow which is surprising as he doesn't talk out of his elbow! I seriously suggest people just ignore him.

As for Chrome it is becoming a good browser now the initial bugs have been ironed out. Faster than IE and Firefox and the interface just takes a bit of getting used to if you are familiar with other browsers.

JackClark

I stated my case against Flash as an informed professional, you got bored behind your Laptop and posted some more hate. The good news is, everyone knows you're an idiot.

f1_fan

Informed professional what?

You haven't the faintest clue how Flash works or why it still has a hold on the marketplace, you just trot out the same old line spouted by your idols at Apple. Utterly tiresome and blinkered nonsense!

People need to stop reading what you write and giving it any credence as frankly it's for the most part ill-informed nonsense. You were taken to task by IWatkins and warrenm2 in here and make to look silly so why persist?

JackClark

More crap, how is this helping to choose between browsers? Where's your opinion? Are you using a non Flash browser?
