Well, as title says. I saw last year some impressive announcements and they started advertising it.
Anyone?

I haven’t tested it extensively, but it seems quite useable. It was also the only browser left standing in this year’s Pwn2Own competition.

it´s the only one I use. so much faster..
it’s very good. no memory leaks, as with firefox.
but i’m still using firefox, just because of addons.
especially adblock (no, privoxy isn’t the same), and some other stuff…
scrolling is smoother in firefox too…
it’s my browser of choice also. I love it - the best functionality i’ve seen in a browser, but it’s google so you would expect it ![]()
The only thing is that there are a couple of missing plugins/sites that don’t work well with it, but it is still a beta I understand… such as the only thing I can’t use is logmein - we stick to firefox to use that service, they don’t tend to play nicely.
Love that you can just drag new tabs out of the browser into make new windows!
been using it for a few months now as my browser of choice.
front page with most visited sites is really useful.
fast light and seems less buggy in win xp64 than firefox
I’ve been using it for a couple of months, It’s faster and crashes less than IE on XP64 and XP32. The only thing that bugs me is that it won’t remember UNs and passwords for sites like this forum. Has anyone got automatic login working or is it just me?

it remembers all mine I’ve got to say… haven’t had to do anything special - it just dislays a message at the top asking if you want it to remember passwords.
I like the way it looks and have had no problems with it, but I still use Firefox for everything. Mostly because of all the cool add-ons it has. I’d use it if I didn’t use any add-ons. Although Firefox is great and has everything I need; can’t wait for the next 3.5 update.
I use and like Chrome, best feature IMO is that each window runs in it’s own thread so if one freezes or crashes you don’t loose all the other pages.
Really? I will have to give Chrome another go. That has been killing me lately in Firefox. I normally have upwards of 10-15 tabs running, and rarely do I bookmark everything so it takes me forever to remember where I was.
I’ve been using it pretty much as my sole browser at home. No complaints. Only once or twice have I had to switch back to FF because a site wouldn’t load properly. I use FF at work, and honestly I really don’t notice any difference between the two. Other folks have more demands from their browsers though than I do… so.
Give it another shot!
Thanks to everyone for the info.
That’s actually THE selling point for me:grin:. We use IE in office and I have dual quad core machine and still when browsing IE freezes the entire system for couple of seconds while loading the page. I hate it. The IT guys claim it’s normal behaveour.![]()
Ther should be an option in the OS when one can reserve process time as required (sort of affinity feature on steroids on the thread level). Like: I want max to have 90% (and I don’t want it even to think about going into remaning 10%), next 5% I’ll alocate to IE etc..

It’s, probably, more to do with being a new technology and people not having enough time to play with it, he he;)

Seems nice, but I’m far too attached to opera.
I have 6 tabs open at all times, which I never close and get saved even when it crashes, mouse gestures and proper fullscreen.
If chrome does tab saving (I think it may anyway), gestures and proper fullscreen i’ll switch.
@sv > it remembers all mine I’ve got to say… haven’t had to do anything special - it just dislays a message at the top asking if you want it to remember passwords.
Yeah, mine offers to remember passwords as well, its memory isn’t very good though :). I’ll have to have another look…
ha! ![]()
I’ve had some reset problems actually with chrome on my laptop, but that machine is riddled with errors and problems and is a complete brick!
Maybe just download the most recent version of chrome?
Not quite; some guys said that they did find bugs in Chrome, which in other browsers would have allowed control over the user’s machine; however because of the sandbox feature of Chrome, those bugs are much more difficult to exploit for malicious purposes.

I have it installed do to testing. So far so good. Most of my stuff is still done on FF after Opera seemed to lag behind in certain areas. The only one that’s rendering my website funny is IE - I have to make a lot of hacks around it.
