Google Chrome - Download a new browser

downloading it now. google has yet to disappoint for me. THIS IS BETA, THOUGH, SO DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE A MIRACLE APP JUST YET.

and i can already tell you i won't be switching from firefox anytime soon, as, obviously, nobody has made an AdBlock Plus extension for Chrome.

edit: using it now. lots of page real estate, and this thing is blazing fast. it's ugly as fuck, though.

It's kinda like what opera used to be, fast as hell but uglayyyyy. Hope they don't bloat it up like opera............

kouki_s14

ok first annoying thing so far
when it is full screen, my taskbar does not come back on top

SimpleSexy180

thats a cool pokeball.

BustedS13

it's hard to find left-handed scissors, too, but the scissor industry just keeps moving along

right click task bar, "keep on top of other applications" or whatever. it works fine for me... you on xp or vista?

Already had that on, I'm on Vista. Works fine without the autohide option on, but when it's on and hides it won't come back.

luftrofl

Using it now. I like it more than Firefox and Opera.

well its in the works, you can even suscribe and they give you updates on how the progress is going.

i LOVED opera for my old PC, but it didnt run so hot on my mac so i stuck with safari, i'll try this one when it comes out, from google it cant be bad.

never been a mozilla fan though

There is no main option to go into your bookmarks and organize them, import wisely.

the click wheel scroll option doesn't work, neither do directional scroll functions, neither do back and forward mouse buttons work (my biggest gripe)

other than that it seems cool. It highlights misspelled text, but it doesn't list correction options when you right click it just like in firefox.

Trying it now and it is noticeably fast. I will wait and see if it will flourish into a strong competitor to Firefox.

yea, a bit faster but a bit to plane, seems like one of those extra windows that pops up when you click on a picture.

shit is blazing fast

and that pokeball is killer

s14>integra

Wow, it is pretty fast. It might just be me but i like the skin.

BustedS13

that'd do it i need to reformat here soon, not because anything's fucking up, but it just... FEELS like i should.. i can't really describe it, but once every year or so, it's just time.

i like how simple it looks, but the problem is that it really is that simple. it needs extensions, a home button, click scrolling as mentioned in this thread, and a few other things. plus, like i said in post one, it's just ugly looking.

so everybody is definitely noticing how fast this thing is, right?

all in all, i like it. but i won't be switching until they refine it substantially. and google makes their money on advertising... not so sure we'll be seeing an adblock for it anytime soon >.<

you know what'd be a great space saver? dump the scroll bars on the top and side. who needs them.

Perhaps it should have an "auto-hide" feature...if that is possible.

WTF no Linux or Mac? They use Linux internally but don't release shit for it. All the good shit is all windows. Makes you wonder about their open source commitment.

There is a home button

Click on the wrench-options-basics, then check the "show home button on toolbar"

chibo

No linux, no care.

I'll be sticking with Opera.

There's an Incognito mode that doesn't save history.

i'm using this right now. i can't believe how fast browsing is on this. it's better than mozilla at the moment. i'll be using this for awhile if it doesn't fuck up.
