I use Chrome as my fourth browser. IE for "application-like" web interfaces that may rely on desktop interaction; FireFox for plug-in rich experience (SEO primarily); Flock for the "social stuff"; and Chrome for "clean, fast, surfing."
I *am* insane...but, yes, four browsers. Actually, five, because I use Safari on a PC to fake a Mac experience (from a code perspective -- visually you can fake it with a Firefox theme). Flock is cool. It's built on top of the Mozilla framework (Firefox, basically) but then is completely tailored to facilitate community integration (they call it "The Social Web Browser"). So, when you bookmark something, you can have it automatically added to your del.icio.us bookmarks and so on and so forth. Then it will provide you with a rolled-up "homepage" of your "social" activity. Lives here: http://flock.com/
I use it when I'm using my windows PC. It's pretty quick on the draw. But I love Flock on my Mac. Just so easy to be nonproductive.
Wait...did I just type that out loud?
I stopped using Chrome because it seemed to be too difficult to bookmark a site.

You are insane. FOUR browsers? I don't even know what flock is.

Though it does seem to work faster...I still think there should be just one browser. Would make my life easier ;)
Or at least narrow it down to two browsers.
No kidding. Usability is what kept me from adopting Opera. I want to be able to subscribe to RSS feeds my way, not the browser's way.
Mozilla Fancy Fox is still the best browser IMHO.
Haven't tried Chrome yet, but I did love the comic that they made to explain how it works. Did you guys see that when it first came out? http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/small_00.html
Thanks for sharing! I was just thinking, boy, I wish I had something to squint at! ;)
Probably not the best format for sharing directions.
That has got to be the coolest fusion of About Us and Tutorial pages I have ever seen. Well played, Google! Good show!
Leave it to Google to innovate user instructions!
I'm still waiting for the Mac version of Chrome! But I've heard that Google has released a pre-beta version of Chrome 2.0 for Mac.
If it goes to Mac, I might take it for a whirl. I can't help myself when it comes to testing out new software. I'm such a sucker for Beta testing!
I definitely want it for Mac!
I wonder what it would look like in Mac.
