I installed Google Chrome on my Mac and use it in addition to Firefox and Safari for everyday browsing. All three browsers support all the HTML and CSS standards.

Security Claims

I have friends who work on the Chrome browser for Google. They claim that Chrome is more secure for several reasons: one is the division into multiple processes.

Customizing Chrome

Chrome was able to install my Firefox bookmarks and passwords with no problem. I have installed the following extensions into Chrome: ScriptNo, uBlock Origin, Web Developer, Perspectives. (ScriptNo is roughly equivalent to NoScript for Firefox.) I have not yet installed Chrome equivalents for JavaScript Debugger, DOM inspector, Live HTTP Headers, Password Exporter, YSlow. I don't use the Chrome feature of synchronizing bookmarks among multiple computers yet.
