Have you tried google chrome?
Will you when it comes out on linux?
Do you like it?
All these and more are questions that come to mind.
Here is my 2 bits

Good God, this browser is mighty fast!
-
I'll pick the third option, but it seems really good, nice reviews!
-
No poll option for lazy people. :(
-
Lovin it! So fast :D. It even knew that i wanted to go to tremulous.net when i typed in "trem"!!!
I had a weird problem on the main forum page cause i couldn't scroll down, but that might be my crappy mouse. I'll test it some more
Edit: work's now, i guess it was just my mouse misbehaving
-
Taking up a lot of memory for a browser that isn't exactly feature packed. Also it keeps freezing to where my YouTube video stops and I can't click anything on the browser.
Even though it's a beta just for the fact that it's google made I do expect better!!
(If it turns out this is just my own personal problem scratch everything I said)
-
I'll go check out youtube right now :P
Loads fine on mine. Are you using vista or xp? i got xp. Also only uses 1/4 of my cpu which isn't that much considering HOW much cpu i have in total.
-
I'm really liking this new browser. I just downloaded it about 20 minutes ago and the speed and its resemblance to safari jumped out. I like the Task Manager seeing how much bandwidth and memory is being used by Chrome. I saw that Chrome pretty much uses more bandwidth than Firefox but is faster. I don't know how that works. I like how individual tabs can crash and leave the rest intact. I like the clean look and the sliding tabs are nice. The simplicity of the browser is also great.
-
I'm half tempted to try it.
-

I'm running XP and all the rest of my browsers work flawlessly (Opera,Firefox,IE7)
-
all try the final version when that comes out
-
A friend tested it and he said that he miss the plugins like the adblock :P
-
Needs more features, then we'll talk.
-
For a beta, its really quite mature. Far better than the Firefox betas were...
-
Thanks to its new line script and the fact that it was newly written by scratch using new technology (Unlike other browsers) this one pre-applies data fast, which is kick ass. I certainly love it, its fast, its awsome, makes my life easier. So far no malware, viruses or spyware, or crappy ads, I recommend it. :D
(Tested viruses with the latest version of Notron Antivirus)
(Tested malware/spyware with Spybot and Aware Plus '08 )
(Getting tired of checking every file I download :P )
-
I'm definitely going to use it, once the Mac version comes out.
-
(Tested viruses with the latest version of *Norton Antivirus)
Norton sucks.
...But it still is clean

lol.
-
it works great but I can not live without my adblock
-
tried it today on a P4 1,8 Ghz, 768 MB ram. it went really fast.
all try the final version when that comes out
would you wait that long? using gmail (beta it still is) for about ... 4 years. good thing i didn't wait for the final version.
-
I tested it and I like the speed, but for 'real' surfing I still prefer firefox on linux, just to annoy all those guys who think they can install diallers on my PC. But it may become my preferred browser for the MSDN. ;D
The "call everything a beta" strategy is just Googles way to avoid blame when it doesn't work properly, just like Vistas UAC is just there to put the blame on the end user when a virus or worm gets on the computer.
-
This made me laugh: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7597699.stm

The problem with Google Chrome is:
You can get viruses even more easily then IE6, it has NO protection, BEWARE! D:
The flash/Java/etc Player soemtimes doesn't seemed to be reconized by Chrome, but its pretty unlikely, but it happend to me.
The comic talking about it just tries to confuse the reader into thinking they want something uber-awsome made by scientists, which, isn't really the case, and the comic should be questioned on it's truthfullness. (Ok, not part of Chrome, but its related :P )
Tabs loads into another process, sssuuucckksss, something can go wrong, just think about it,
Thats a few of the problems, and yea, thats all I got on top of my head. :P
Norton sucks.
I have to agree with you, it does suck, but its the one I rather trust then others like Macfee or etc.

Some cool tricks and shit.
-

first beta.
-
It's a cute and nice browser for a beta, but it's not that big of a feat to create a cute and nice browser in beta that has about 25% (or less)of the functionality of a normal browser.
I am still using Chrome for my daily tasks though, just because I want to see it crap out more. (http://satgnu.net/upload/smilies/thud.gif)
So far it has been fairly stable!
[PS] Don't compare a beta browser from 2008 with the first FireFox betas, that's a bit unfair given all the years of extra knowledge that is spent on Chrome, not to mention all the cold, hard dough that Google can put behind a project like this.

The "Web Operating System" just highlights how much journalists don't know about computers.

It's pretty nice, and fast. But I feel like it's missing a lot of things.

-
One complaint I have with Chrome so far, is that I can't click the third button and have the page scroll down at a smooth rate. Any tips on how to fix it, if anyone has noticed and been able to fix it?
-
It's a feature, and it's just not there. I noticed that right away, considering I do that a lot. It is quite annoying.

Chrome was fast and had a pretty nice UI. However, it was like using firefox without all my precious extensions. Also, for some reason I was unable to scroll up using the middle mouse button in it.
-
Yeah, I can't scroll up using trackpad scroll.

Linux and Mac ports: http://www.codeweavers.com/services/ports/chromium/
-
I will wait for a native port
-
You can keep waiting for quite a while then, since progres on the Mac and Linux ports seems to progressing rather slowly.
-
Yes. I tried it on windows. I saw what it looks like. End of the story.
I am happy with firefox so I can wait forever
-
In 1980, i saw XEROXParc's GUI presentation. I am happy with DOS so i can wait forever.
-
Ooh, a Mac version!
[EDIT] Epic fail. I think I'll wait until Google releases an official version.

Oh well, at least CodeWeavers got us HTTPS in Wine now.

Also chrome atm does not have an option to remember info entered in boxes such as email login?

i want an even more dumb browser, what can't remember anything so my girlfriend can'T fall into misunderstandings when spying me. :police:

I did not miss it but your analogy failed for several reasons ;)

Six hours into a download, two minutes left, I get pissed off at some outside occurrence, and out of frustration, close Chrome. There goes six fucking hours.
-
It doesn't have a download manager?
-
I can't download anything at all in Chrome.
-
I downloaded Chrome to use it to download Opera.

It does.
-
C-c J ftw
Its DL manager is better than firefox's
-
Just fyi, there exists now a chromium-based browser without the "google phone home" features of chrome: Iron (http://www.srware.net/software_srware_iron_download.php). I haven't tried it myself, it's also Windows-only.
-
Frankly i don't see the appeal, it's yet another browser, only this one's coded primarily for windows, with not real attempts to make it portable, with no concerns for memory management, with a big silly blue interface, if it weren't a google product would anyone care enough to try it?
Hey, look, a webkit based browser, but this one's even less functional, i bet it's awesome http://code.google.com/p/arora/
paradox, epic phail wrt that analogy...
-
I think Tremulant does not comprehend the main features of Chrome.
-
process per tab and super fast js execution? yes, i do comprehend it but i don't find other browsers unstable or too slow, i guess i'm doing something wrong.
-
I guess you are the only person in the world who did not have his whole browser crash with one page screwing up!
Congratulations.
[PS] Compare the Chrome default theme with the FireFox default theme and then come back and still call the Chrome default theme 'big'.
-
it's big blue and fugly, in the same way windows XP was fisher price-ish, not necessarily lots of real estate eaten by the browser chrome.
-
Fugly is subjective, and calling it big when the theme from your preferred browser has an even bigger GUI is a bit weird, to say the least.
-
Wait till they release a full version of Chrome, (that was a beta right?) than we'll see what you think. But I do have to admit the interface is not perfect. I don't know if there is a browser with a better one, but room for improvement nonetheless.

-
True, that's nice. I sort of meant I don't really have an opinion on there being a browser with a nicer interface, poor choice of words on my part.
-
That is not Opera's default theme.
You fail.
-

It's not. It's only the best theme for any browser ever.

i guess you never tried to type :% in the url bar ;D (it's fixed now)

Have anyone even bothered to read the license agreement? I haven't but we had discussion at the bar and one guy had read it and discovered that the google gets all copyrights if you upload some texts you write with it. It wasn't really clear how but you should check it out if you are using Chrome.

that section got removed (but if you really care, just download and compile the source, you'll only be bound by the (l)gpl and the 2321084369157419 different permissive licenses used)
-
If you don't want to compile it yourself, you can download a Chrome clone without unique user ids and the other creepy things that Google may have hidden in Chrome: Iron (http://www.srware.net/software_srware_iron_download.php).
-
Google collecting information about your search queries is fine, but once they start collecting data on your browsing habits, people get all riled up.
-
I have absolutely no problem when Google collects statistical data about the searches I do, but when the tie this to my unique user id this is a no-go for me. I know that most websites try the same with cookies, but I have at least some control over the cookies I accept or reject. Maybe I'm just too paranoid.
-
Google being a no-go for collecting data, while just about every company collects your data about just about everything you do, is just a case of double morale.
-
I never said that I'm less paranoid with other companies.
-
The thing is, your paranoia server no purpose, since data is already being collected, all the time, for years already. Paranoia about such things is merely fashionable, and certainly questionable.
-
Yes, and homes are broken into all the time too. No point in locking you door. Just accept the inevitable.
-
I don't lock my door. Ever.
-
Wow, that was a pointless seven-post randomness spree.
Make that eight posts.
-
Locks on doors do not keep criminals out of houses.
Most houses have ground-floor windows and most criminals have access to bricks.
Locks (or the assumption thereof) keep honest people away from temptation.
Also, Nine!
Doesn't help that I use a Mac, PPC nonetheless, so I probably won't have much user experience with Chrome to add to this discussion.
-
A famous parable:
"Locks keep honest people honest"
Anything can be broken into. You just need more C4.

Wow, guys. Wow.

I don't see a point in dling it without a ABP like on Firefox.

I dont see the point in necroing like a buttfucker.
