Using it now. No thoughts yet. Anyone have any thoughts?

Mr. Blonde · 09-03-2008, 10:10 AM

Downloading it as we speak. i'll let you know.

Ugly Bastard · 09-03-2008, 12:53 PM

Using it now. It seems really fast and I like the way it incorporates it's search engine to generate auto-complete data when typing in the browser bar. I also like how low profile it is at the top allowing for more vision of the web page.

Ooooh... spell check feature in this field box is very nice too. I'm sure other browsers have this feature too (if you install it), but it should be the default 'cause I'm too lazy to install stuff, but I'm constantly googling words to see if I spelled them right or not.

Hmm... you know how with laptops you can scroll up and down on a page by dragging your finger on the right side of the touchpad? With Google Chrome, I can scroll down webpages, but not up. Obviously, this is a huge pain in the ass that I don't like one bit. Fix it plz Google.

Repugnant Abomination · 09-03-2008, 02:06 PM

I've been using it the last couple of hours. I really like it, but it does have some scrolling issues, as UB said.

I really like the incognito feature.

Mr. Blonde · 09-03-2008, 05:46 PM

i'm not a big fan so far.

So does IE and Firefox? I think that's a new google feature in general

As for chrome I'll stick with Firefox.

i don't see chrome being any better than firefox for the next two years..

DJ FC · 09-04-2008, 07:28 AM

Two years!?

That's like saying The US economy will be better than China's for the next 200 years. 2 years is forever for these things, so who knows. I don't foresee chrome being better than firefox for the next 2 months, after that who knows.

I forget how awesome the safari/mac combo is since I already have most of these features. Shit, welcome to the surfing part of my world of convenience.

Heaven Can Wait · 09-05-2008, 01:44 PM

Overclockers think its good, there are a few bugs with the phishing software though, I can't say I have any real reason to switch from firefox though, its easy and I'm used to it.

AcTivE · 09-05-2008, 08:29 PM

I take back what I said.

I definitely see the usefulness of this. I love the 'create application' link feature. No more logins, and super quick access to websites I use very regularly (try gmail for example).

but yea...I was basically basing it on the fact of how long Mozilla has been in existence.

There are different uses of the two though. I don't think I'd use Chrome as a replacement browser...just for certain websites--

ya having the least compatible browser rocks!

Biggest bitch I've heard with google chrome is that it is a datamining son of a bitch. It's surprising to me how shitty firefox has become. The more mozilla fixes it, the worse it is. Checking out Opera as a browser right now. Seems a bit better than firefox, but it's nothing special either.

Mr. Blonde · 10-06-2009, 11:23 AM

^truth. firefox seems to be absolute shit lately, i don't know why. chrome is working pretty well for me, didn't know that it had such a datamining problem though...

Oddest thing about it, you can't right click/save as desktop. you'd think that'd be pretty easy to throw on the beta.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
