Google announced Monday plans to challenge Microsoft's dominance over Web browsing.

Today, the Internet search powerhouse will unveil a beta version of its own browser, called "Google Chrome.'' It will debut in more than 100 countries and offer features that make it easier and faster to browse the Web.

I'm really excited about taking this browser for a spin.

Peace...

Funny thing it's now over 19 hours from the time of this post. Second thoughts going on somewhere?

I'm thinking a last minute issue is delaying the release of the browser. I don't think Google is having second thoughts about this.

Peace...

I have just downloaded and installed google chrome. Can't say it is that impressive on first use, but then a browser is a browser. And anything works better than IE7.

That comic book thing irritates me! Anyway for starters . . . well on the user side it works, well like a browser. First thing, it has fewer buttons and bars. I keep thinking half my browser is missing as it does not have a top bar with the name of the application, but rather the tabs are right at the top. Second thing, it imported all my bookmarks from firefox without any issues.
On the down side, the browser mangles the menu bar on my webpage. This problem also occurs when using Safari, although not a problem in IE7, opera or firefox. Guess I'll just have to figure out what the glitch is with my menu

Please tell me this isn't the first EULA you have read?

Try one from MS. You have no rights nor do you own the OS you are using.
You are granted the priveledge of using until MS says otherwise.
MS updates even when you say not to!

I'm waiting for the Linux version.

*sigh* apparently, you download an installer that will then download the browser. For some reason, the installer can't download the browser even though the installer downloaded ok.

Oh well, I'll play with it later I guess.

Peace...
