Google Chrome

It's a Beta so don't expect it to be stable and free from bugs.

I've just been playing around with it. Ehhh, it's alright, i like the vista-ness about it, but i really don't see myself in the future switching from Opera and Firefox for it. Maybe when the full release comes out, but not now.

Chrome is pretty fast compared to FF3. I like it. I want a black skin for mine though. :P

Google Chrome took 1% of the market share in just 9 (yes nine) hours of being released XD

Blimy thats impressive, I'm still useing Firefox for some reason, need to make chrome by defult browser.

EDIT: Haha just found the incognito browser, wonder what that's for :)

"You've gone incognito. Pages that you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files that you download or bookmarks that you create will be preserved, however.

Going incognito doesn't affect the behaviour of other people, servers or software. Be wary of:

Websites that collect or share information about you

Internet service providers or employers that track the pages that you visit

Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys

Surveillance by secret agents

People standing behind you"

Sounds like Private Browsing on Safari, or 'InPrivate' on Internet Explorer 8, or Distrust addon for Firefox :p

Never heard of any of them :) But yes, but I can't think of any uses, internet banking maybe :)

EDIT: Found my first bit problem with it, middle button scrolling doesn't work, someone already said that?

It's really for pr0n, but companies think up excuses for think like internet banking/buying presents /etc :p

I guessed that :) Not totally clueless.

Haha, if you go to uninstall Chrome it says "Do you really want to uninstall Google Chrome (Was it something we said?)"

And translation error: Somewhere in the options it reads "encode" and in finnish translation it reads "Voi hitsi!" (which would be something like "oh dammit" in english :)).

works for me...

infact everything on it looks pretty good my end. :)

HavockJoker · September 4, 2008

Everything works fine for me. I really like Chrome. I also like the incognito window. That is really secure if you want to buy things on ebay, or other sites. I just ordered something and now I have no fear of anything happening.

PS: Chrome has a really cool history front page.

Don't mean scroll wheel, clicking it down so that little arrow thing come up. That work on chrome?

oh lol. that feature on any browser/document/file... has done nothing but anger me. So I'm real pleased its not in chrome. However in the default vista setup that button is used to switch between screens, so that might be why its not used in chrome.

HavockJoker · September 6, 2008

I have no problems at all.

BUMP

Google Chrome is out of BETA.

http://www.google.com/chrome

quote from another forum i go to.

It actually seems to be loading my Java and Flash a bit faster - anyway here's a link -
http://www.google.com/chrome

I'd also suggest setting it to update to new dev packages -

download the channel chooser here -

http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel/

It'll update to the newest dev package, 1.xx.xxx or w/e on a weekly basis.
