Anyone using it ? Anyone having issues with it ? I'm getting some strange stuff happening that doesn't happen when I use Firefox.

I'm pretty sure that chrome is pretty much the standard nowadays. Everyone I know uses it.
It does seem ever slightly less reliable than Firefox in my experience though.
What sort of problems are you experiencing?

If I'm browsing on Chrome and I've looked at any site that has a Youtube link I then get a flash of the link whenever I use the forward or back arrows. Doesn't matter whether I've opened the link or not. Also, I have McAfee and use the Site Adviser add-on. This has stopped working on Chrome but it still works on Firefox.

That's weird. Certainly not something that I've experienced before.

The main problem I have with Chrome is that Adobe Flash player starts $%&#ing up, crashing and generally making everything very slow if I open multiple tabs/windows. 

So sometimes I disable it, but then most YouTube videos won't work (not that they work very well on my PC anyway).

I think my problems are mainly due to my PC being old, clapped out and simply not powerful enough for modern applications.

I use chrome but sometimes I use firefox just for downloading because chrome can have issues timing out, especially larger files. Apart from that I can't fault chrome because of the apps you can add such as ad block and ghostery
