You can get firefox/opera running as quickly with a few tweaks.

xkamikazestormx · 09-03-2008, 01:48 AM

wow this thing is fast. ill be using this for a while until i get bored of it

SochBAT · 09-03-2008, 02:00 AM

Tried it right now, not too much of a fan. My Firefox runs a bit faster, and scrolling is flawless compared to Chrome's choppy scrolling.

No Linux support = FAILTOWN.

But Opera on Linux is the tits!

Part of me wants to go back to Hardy Heron and ditch Ibex

S14Josh · 09-03-2008, 02:17 AM

Been using it all day, I really like it.

I was reading this article about Chrome:

I like their idea for indicating that you are in Incognito mode:

Update your font packs.

You'll never get me off Netscape Navigator 4.08!!

LeftNutOfGowd · 09-03-2008, 10:42 AM

Yea, i was there too. Already updated, looks just as it was.

Do you guys ever mess with Compiz?

zeroskater1028 · 09-03-2008, 11:14 PM

Ive had it for about a day I think. Its cool and pretty fast compared to my IE but needs a bettertoolbar. Good thing its just the beta. Going to keep messing around with it. Just found out about the incogneto mode lol

yeah i have the tweak. the only thing about the chrome on my cpu is that it dowloads realllllly slow when i get stuff of off rapidshare, but when i'm on mozilla it's all gravy. so now i'm using mozilla mainly. but i go to sites really fast on the chrome, faster than mozilla with the tweaks. the chrome needs more work, it's missing a lot of things to make it a better/competitive browser compared to others that has been in the game a long time; it has potential.

*!Zar!* · 09-04-2008, 02:30 AM

I'm cool with it.

Definitely installing it on my other computers.

Too bad this shit doesn't save when you close tabs like firefox.

Or as far as I know so far.

DreamN · 09-04-2008, 02:45 AM

^ I think it has that option. because when I was using it even though I closed the browser it still remembered a lot of the sites I visited when in thumbnail view.

*!Zar!* · 09-04-2008, 02:49 AM

Mmm.

I'll look into it.

Another thing that sucks about this is that I have my start menu at the top of my screen and it's on auto hide.

Shit won't let me access my start menu with my mouse without minimizing or what not.

Shokinem · 09-04-2008, 07:07 AM

its fast as hell using it in school

Tweaks? Link?

Avante · 09-04-2008, 11:46 AM

did you know you can drag and drop tabs like a window?

lets say you wanted to open a link in a tab, but you accidentally opened it as a new window, just click and drag to the main window and it will be integrated into it!

thats pretty neat.

also, each tab is independent, meaning that if one tab fails, and freezes, its only that tab, not the whole browser.

..i have high hopes.

Same, with my bar on autohide at the bottom. That and Fotki's java plug-in doesn't work with it means its going in the bin until full release.

JRas · 09-04-2008, 01:57 PM

I tried it out didn't like it

it reminds me of the new internet explorer, which is already lame

I must say I'm disappointed from Google

I will continue to use Firefox 3

xkamikazestormx · 09-04-2008, 02:41 PM

dam i didnt know about the firefox tweak. ive been using that shit slow this whole time.

i like the google one too but now i like FF better. ill keep using FF probably until google comes out with an official one
