I was referring to FF2.

Im sure that they will make one for Linux users soon as they finished with BETA for windows and they might make one because they probably want many users to use their browser.

I'm really liking Chrome... most of the time. There's a handful of things it does that I'm not used to yet, but I love having each tab in it's own process. Chrome also loads pages much faster on my computer than FF3 or IE7 (haven't tried IE8 yet). I do miss some of my FireFox extensions, though -- particularly a bookmark synchronizer so I have the same bookmarks across all of my computers. Google has promised 3rd party plug-ins in future versions, though. For a first beta, it's a very nice and stable browser. Definitely better than IE7. It'd be my primary choice over FF3 if they had plug-ins.

After using Chrome for a while (a LOT last week), I'm finding it does load pages rather quickly and I do like the thumbnails of recently visited sites when it loads. I'm not sure if I prefer that to Opera's "Speed Dial", where I control the site thumbnails that are displayed. I'm thinking some mixture of the two would be best. Default with loading recently viewed pages and allow users to override that with specific sites.

Chrome's startup speed is quick and I haven't run into any rendering issues I haven't already seen with Firefox, Opera, or Safari on Windows. The main things I don't like are:

1. The default look on Windows XP. From what I've seen, Chrome looks snazzy on Vista.
2. The lack of a "File" menu so I can open HTML files on my local computer.

Other than that, Chrome has been running very well for me. It's a solid beta.

I'm eager to get my hands on the Linux version. I just hope the Linux version won't require KDE.

Peace...

Yes, must say after a couple of days of running the application, I am starting to take a liking to it. As mentioned, the fast start up time is a bonus, but firefox also loads quickly, until you start adding the extensions...plugins and what not!

I still have not figured out how one can manage ones bookmarks. Adding them and deleting them is easy but can you move them around like one can in firefox.

Another question, where is this program installed? I can't find it in my program files folder.

Couple of articles which sound like they may have a couple of tips.

I think the seven reasons given against Chrome are short sighted. I don't expect everyone to like or love Chrome but give the browser a chance to get out of beta status, at least. Sheesh!

Peace...

I heard Chrome have few flaws on so im using my internet banking on IE7 temporary until they fixed those

I agree.

Betas' are released in order to get widespread feedback.

Google seems to be responding very quickly, with regards to Chrome.
EULA, couple of security issues...



Good feedback everyone.

I hope you continue to keep us informed of your opinions. Good, bad or indifferent. Stronger, weaker or changed.

Chrome looks interesting, but I think I'll stick with FF until you guys work out some of the bugs.

[CrazyComputerMan]

Firefox sucks

Bugs can stay and later on they will be stamped

[new tech guy]

I like it, due to the fact of just how early its beta is i dont want to yet trust it when doing schoolwork, i will continue to use firefox for that as i know its stable and everything will work. I will play on the side with it but nothing mission critical will go to that yet.

Back to the 'copy and paste' thing. I just tried three different combinations of Firefox and Chrome. I opened two browsers at a time. I used 'Firefox-Firefox, Firefox-Chrome, Chrome-Chrome' and I copied and pasted articles in CD, oh well my hangup, from the same website...The speed of loading the pages was about the same on all combinations, but the 'copy and paste' from Chrome was slower. Firefox had a much quicker response..Still checking things out...

[CrazyComputerMan]

Im sure that they will making this faster in the future

"On the day that Google's Chrome browser launched I saw a few reports claiming that it already had jumped to somewhere between 2 and 3% of the market."
