Tried it. Interesting and quite fast. Let's see if it has any legs...

rjs735 · 09-02-2008, 09:47 PM

I also have it. It is fast. Now I have to figure out the detachable tabs.

By grabbing the tab you can make individual browserwindows independendant of the original browser window. However once you seperate them it's not too easy to get them back the way they were if you ever wanted to.

You can get them back to where they were. A little harder than separating.This separation is supposed to isolate each window from the other and not crash the entire browser. If it works I think this is goodness.

Brought up abxzone and logged in smooth and fast.

Some of the things you do for a user like you want to print a page so you select printable version. You get the printable page but there is no toolbar for the print command. Intuitive for any experienced user right click mouse and print option is one of the listed commands. Neat I think.

Early tests show that the new Google Chrome browser is faster than IE and Firefox at running Javascript (something the Firefox team disputes)

Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari | Business Tech - CNET News

Firefox counters Google's browser speed test | Business Tech - CNET News

and beats both of those browsers in the Acid3 test

Chrome tops IE, Firefox in Acid3 test | The Web Services Report - CNET News

On the flip side, the beta product is already dealing with early security vulnerabilities

Google Chrome vulnerable to carpet-bombing flaw | Zero Day | ZDNet.com

while questions are being raised over whether Chrome's terms of service are too broad:

I'm not interested in trying it.
As hellfire has pointed out this is one EULA that you better read!!

raging bull · 09-03-2008, 09:22 PM

i still have trouble getting firefox 3 working on my xp box....why bother with something else that's probably buggy or worse.....hey, has anybody realized that google is probably run by the nsa?

fvbounty · 09-03-2008, 10:19 PM

IE 7 works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maxidius · 09-03-2008, 10:48 PM

Google Chrome is fast, but not always. Sometimes it freezes my PC completely, and for some reason, my PC suddenly lost power, twice, in less than a day using it. Anyway, it is only Beta version, so it's still good to see another style.

I returned to Mozilla Firefox now.

yamawho · 09-03-2008, 11:35 PM

Anandtech has an article on it ...

ATINUT · 09-04-2008, 01:17 AM

I'm sticking with IE7 until IE8 is out of beta and ready for release.
