No, not the first Actually give a course on copyright, user rights and such. But lots of people don't!

That's for sure.

Probably due to the fact that regardless of what it says, you have no choice but to accept, or not use the non-returnable software that is now open.

I'm sure this also contributes to the "Pirate" way of thinking.

In no way, do we accept responsibility...

My apologies for getting off topic.

Well, I managed to get Chrome installed on my machine at work and I'm using it right now to compose this post. I haven't used it enough to form any real opinions yet but initial impressions are:

• I don't quite like the look of the browser as it looks a little amateurish (not very polished)
• Page loading speed isn't as fast as I would like but considering I'm behind a proxy, I'll give the browser some slack. We'll see what happens as the cache has more in it.
• The installer didn't give me the option of installing Chrome on a drive other than C:. In fact, I have no idea where it got installed. I have all of my browsers installed on my D: drive and I wasn't given the option of installing somewhere else. Maybe that will be addressed in a GA release.
• No offline installer is currently available, which I don't like.

EDIT: I just found out there is no "File" menu so I can't open a local HTML file without opening it in another browser first.

Peace...

Found this about a potential security flaw in Chrome.

I've seen that and I don't get it since I got the same behavior in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, AND Safari 3.1.2 (on Windows). I go to the demo page and I'm prompted to save the file or open the file. If I open the file, Notepad (a Java version) opens. I guess I'll have to see what happens if I just save the file and don't open it.

Peace...

Tried to uninstall Chrome, got this error.

LOL Want to see something really funny? Do this:

1. Start up Chrome
2. In the URL bar, type "about:internets"
3. Laugh out loud.

Peace...

Looks like the Chrome Eula is getting a makeover

Well, I've used Chrome today and right now and it's not bad, IMO....Some notes:
The pages on TSG load real quick so far...But, the copy and paste thing is slow...Not too bad yet...

[CrazyComputerMan]

Compare Firefox and chrome please

[ekim68]

So far the changes are slight, but some pages did load quicker with Chrome...Not a solid lead, yet, but more to come..

So far I'm quite fond of Chrome. Stupid name thru.

V.quick load up time comparing to explorer aswell as firefox to some point.
Built in spell checker is also nice (esp on forums).
Address bar is also like a seach bar and auto gives suggestions of the complete address and you go along.

Only nagging issue I can find is there is no drop down menu of previous web addressed typed up and visited. And I dont want to have to go to history to load these up or add the sites as favourites.

BTW just incase anyone didnt know you can toggle thru previous pages by holding left click on the back / forward button. (Just realised that now )

Haven't downloaded it yet and for now probably won't. From what I've read so far Chrome offers nothing you can't get in firefox (with the proper extensions installed) and has two serious drawbacks in my opinion. No addblock plus extension and no noscript extension .... and considering googles revenue stream is add based I honestly don't see them offering any legitimate alternatives. Now because it is open source we will in all likelihood see similar extensions offered given time but I can see Google doing everything in their power to make these types of extensions very difficult to develope for Chrome.

for anyone interested in a decent overview on what Chrome offers
