I'm trying out the Google Chrome browser this week. Not too bad. Any opinions?

I found a good joke there.

A girl invites her boyfriend over for dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl tells him that after dinner she wants to have sex with him for the first time.

The boy is ecstatic, but nervous because he's a virgin. He goes to the pharmacy to get some condoms. He tells the pharmacist his situation and asks for advice. The pharmacist tells him everything there is to know about sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks how many condoms he'd like to buy: a 3-pack or a 10-pack. The boy says he feels lucky and insists on the 10-pack.

That night, the boy shows up for dinner a little late. His girlfriend meets him at the door leads him straight to the dinner table where her parents are already seated. The boy sits down, quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still silent with his head down. Five minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 10 minutes, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boy, "I had no idea you were this religious."

The boy turns and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

I tried it for a while when it first was released, and it was pretty neat, but there were a few things about it that I didn't like. I really wanted to be able to change the colors to match the rest of my theme, which I couldn't do when it first came out. My hard drive died shortly thereafter, and I never reloaded it.

Doesn't help that they don't have a linux version, either, as I can't use it on my home desktop, only my work laptop. Maybe I'll download it again and play with it and see if they've made any changes.

I wish I could add plugins like a script blockert. I avoided it in the beta stage because there were immediate security issues but I have grown to love it.

I love Chrome and I use it exclusively at home. I was hesitant and skeptical at first, but I would never use anything else now.

You can change the skins, but you have to simply replace the default.dll file with a new skin (file) of your choice. No biggie.

There are no add-ons, true, but I personally never used them anyway, the point of Chrome is to be simple, and there may be add-ons in the future.

Oh, and Chrome is fast. It's true.

I tried it when it was first released, but uninstalled it soon after mainly because it didn't support RSS feeds like Firefox. I think there was a couple other little things I didn't like but that was the main one. Firefox isn't broke, no need to replace it, for me.

That was one thing that I did really like about it when I was using it, it was freaking fast.

I was using it some when it was first released, but I'm stuck on Firefox. Just as the earlier posting, that it doesn't support many of the things such as add-on programs that I use in Firefox.
