Google's Browser (Chrome)

[GeneGnomeX]

Super fast and the coolest thing is that each tab runs its own process so if a page freezes the whole browser doesn't crash, you can close individual tabs from the task manager.

Better than Explorer and Firefox?

Can't get it for Mac yet

But yeah, this should blow away IE and definitely give FF a run for its money. I'm using Safari 3.1 and have NO problems, but still want to give this one a try. I used it on anther laptop today and it's actually pretty damn cool.

But then again, I like anything that competes with Microsoft. Wait until the official version comes out (not a beta) and let's see if it can catch on!

...Still waiting for "android", googles cell phone OS to come out as well.

i like dat der spell checker built in

[chasinSKURT]

If you guys Ctrl+Alt+Del, you can see that it runs each tab independently... pretty badass.

It looks pretty awesome, but this is what I got when I tried to get online:

I like how it doesn't open up anything in new windows. Everything is done on the tabs.

You must of had old school IE or FF, because they both use tabs as well

Well I had tabs under my new computer and my laptop with the current version of IE...

But when I would log into school it would always open up a new window... I just logged into school just now and it just put it under a new tab

Does this rival FF 2.0? FF 3.0 sucks teh balls so dont compare it to that lolz

you can make IE so that it opens everything in a new tab instead of a new window. make pop-ups open in a new tab

wut? I love ff 3.0, in fact you are the only person I have heard thus far who hates it.

Also, in Chrome, you can go Incognito, where any website you visit won't be saved in the address bar, you won't get any cookies from the site, etc.

[zeekz]

I'm pretty impressed. Seems faster than Firefox to me - and I love Firefox. Give Chrome a while and I think it will have all the great features as Firefox and more. Google is an innovative company.

On it... love it!!

i ran it on my main comp (this is teh parents) which is an old dell that came w/ windows ME (i put xp pro on it though). FF3 ran a lot slower for me than FF2 did, and bb.com wasnt working w/ it. I said eff it and "downgraded" back to FF2.

edit: FF3 also crashed on me a good bit

[kerplunk]

Im running FF 3.0 right now. Gonna give Chrome a try!

[SPACECLOWN]

So far chrome is owning FF in my book. It's blazin fast. I leave my computer on for days and eventually FF would start hogging my memory. I figured they would eventually fix it but nope. I will still have it on back up now.

ill stick with Firefox, FF remembers all my tabs if the page freezes.

Also just like with anything, first and 2nd versions will have lots of bugs in them and im sure holes to make it easy to hack.

Also Google keeps track of what you search for and stores it in their HDs for years to come.

Gotta love Big Brother companies

It looks pretty awesome, but this is what I got when I tried to get online:

Make sure you've set your firewall to allow chrome to access the internet.

[TTewell]

This is the exact reason why I won't use Chrome. Google takes the "interesting info" and sells it to the government.

[SPACECLOWN]

So far only thing that has bothered my is when I neg someone it opens in a new window. No biggie.

As for history if you have an account there you can go to manage account and turn off the history.

[Black_Label]

I like the multi processes to stop crashing and taking down everything you are doing.

That doesn't keep Google from tracking it.

yahoo reviewed it. compared it to IE8 beta. they like the IE8 in some aspects, the chrome in others.

This remembers tabs also, albeit there is no easy way to mass bookmark yet it seems.

[Fuerza]

I really want to try it, but it doesn't support my version of windows :/ shucks.
