Think it will be worth checking out? Windows beta is out now with Mac and Linux version under construction.We owe a great debt to many open source projects, and we're committed to continuing on their path. We've used components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox, among others -- and in that spirit, we are making all of our code open source as well. We hope to collaborate with the entire community to help drive the web forward.

Yeah, I'll check it.
I'm using Firefox 3.x now instead of IE, but even it has it's own annoyances (still not as bad as IE though!)"To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." - Steven Wright

for sure, i'll give it a chance. once it's out of beta. i gave up on all kinds of betas long ago. now i'm only a beta tester for m$ os's. they are always in beta no matter how long they've been released. they never get them "right", stable, or finalized.

Wasn't Chrome the nickname for the last Netscape release?

I'm running it too and agree. Man, this browser flys ! I did experience what I guess is a bug with the transfer of favorites; only about 10% transferred and one entire folder was missing. Anyway, I'm liking it- so far.

then again, I have CustomizeGoogle installed in Firefox in an attempt to keep Google's rather invasive snooping to a minimum.
Now they have their own browser to keep track of what you're doing?"To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." - Steven Wright

Firefox already is a standard on all major platforms. MS Windows, Mac, Linux and other nix stuff including BSD.
We don't need another browser gumming up the works. What we do need is everyone on the same "page" so all websites look alike on all platforms. Firefox makes that possible now. No need for another browser!

I suppose it's a good thing that a browser can display a web page the way it was intended. But it's the last thing I want. I don't want to see tiny fonts. I don't want to see red text on a green background. I don't want to see annoying animated ads. I override almost all these things. It messes up the formatting on a lot of sites but at least they're readable.

Well I've been playing with Chrome and while it is fast I do miss my add-on's that make firefox so enjoyable. Once there are some add-ons like adblock plus, flashblock, and others I might like it more. Will be nice when nix versions are out as well.

Why would you run Chrome knowing Google put it out there just for one reason to capture user data!! That's it pure and simple.
Every application they design is for capturing user data. Sure it might have other uses for the end user, but not for Google. -

Now, before all you guys get excited, read this article:
Burned by Chrome - Google Chrome EULA Sucks:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/03/google_chrome_eula_sucks/
I like this paragraph:
But you may be posting material via Chrome to your employer's site and it owns the copyright of anything you create in work time.
What then if Google adapts, modifies and distributes it? Your fan has brown stuff all over it but none of it sticks to Google. -

I doubt the EULA would hold up in a court of law. Agreeing to something and having something legally binding is not the same.
I ran tests with it today, and all of my sites display properly. Much like my time spent in Safari, that'll be the extent of my use. Same goes for IE, where I use IE5 through IE8 for testing.
I'm using Firefox 3 with a Firefox 2 skin, and a bunch of very useful plugins.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
FAQs: Best Blank Discs • Best TBCs • Best VCRs for capture • Restore VHS -
Damn it's quick. However without the raft of useful plugins I have running under FF3, I am not ready to switch over.
Interestingly, if you go into the Options dialogue, go under the hood, and attempt to change the proxy settings . . . . . . it opens Internet Explorer's Settings dialogue.
Maybe, once it is production ready, someone will write a FF plugin that lets me keep FF3 and all that is good about it, but lets me load and draw pages with the Chrome engine - if it is still this fast when it is finished.
Mind you, it is one ahead of Safari. Having used Safari on a Mac, I have no desire to ever install it on a machine that I own.Read my blog here.

It is fast and on the PC they gave me on my job (ancient pentium 4 at 1.5Ghz...), it might be a better option compared FF3 or even the latest opera.

Ooh, some seem easily excited by a bit of fizz and bubble techno-hype ...
What do you make of this (on top of its licensing fiasco) ?

Ina Fried of News.com points out, Chrome's "Omnibar" can also access all keystrokes a user types, and Google will store some of this information along with IP addresses. -
I uninstalled it because...where's my bookmarks? and, I type in "gmail" and I get ******* SEARCH RESULTS HUH?
ANd guess what, my Firefox & IE is fucked up now!
Google Chrome = GET FUCKED.
My computer's getting a total ******* anti-virus/anti-spyware/registry clean. Damn it! Google ******* cunts get fucked. What is it, a CIA front?? -
Just because this isn't video related doesn't mean it's not interesting info.

And all those years, I thought that you was a simply zombie....
You are special FulciLives, did I ever told you?
Anyway, I unistalled the beta shortly after some testing. It didn't harm my system. It is a fast browser, that's for sure. For the rest, well... it is a beta, isn't it? I don't judge beta releases. And especially this one, which is full of bugs.
ZQX, I heard the "F" word? Bad boy! Say to all now "I'm sorry" and promise to be a better boy in the future!

Used Chrome. Very nice, very fast. Worked on the porn sites
Didn't crash my system.
Proxy Settings pulls up Windows Internet Properties. Make sense if you want a light weight app. Though I prefer the way FireFox handles it.
The *Need* for another browser is for business and not the average knob sitting at home looking at porn.
The internet/intranet is the computer and the browser is the platform by which you interact. To gain a better understanding look at products such a Microsoft's Sharepoint or IBM's WebSphere. These provide you rich browser based applications. Because of this you need a more powerful browser.
That's why Microsoft has developed IE 8 and Google came out with Chrome. :P
