After a few days of giving Google Chrome a good work out I've decided that I will stick to Opera.
I've tested Chrome and other browsers before but keep coming back to Opera.
I think Opera does all I need and the pain of adjusting to a different browser isn't worth the gain.
My main reason for trying out chrome this time was that it has a couple of extensions which do a good job of linking facebook and Google Plus. This means that you can view facebook on the google Plus page or you can selectively share posts from one to the other.
In the end I decided I don't really use that functionality that much. And what persuaded me to come back was a few times I had forgotten my passwords or user names to various sites so I had to start up Opera anyway. What I really missed also was the nifty feature that Opera has of storing some data (name, address etc)to make filling in forms easier.
So I'm back. And I hope that somebody starts working on extensions for Google Plus really soon to make sure I have no incentive to even look at Chrome again!
