IME, Chrome's such a system-killer it shouldn't be used full stop.

I've never trusted Chrome. An advertising company wants me to use their web browser? Seriously?
I do, however use it at work for intranet stuff - although we rely heavily on Google Docs stuff. It is what it is.
For personal stuff, I am not a fan.

I tried it a few times, but I've never really gotten on with it. I mainly use Firefox (with NoScript for safety) and IE for touch.

At home I use a mix of FF and Chrome but studiously haven't logged into Chrome.
At work it's IE or Chrome (with AdBlock).

I've only used Chrome at work. At home I use Firefox on Windows and Dolphin on Android.
