This thing is incredible. Anybody else trying it out right now?
http://www.google.com/chrome

How is it incredible? I've had it for a few days and was expecting something more than just a browser.. but that's all it is, just a browser ???
-
What is good about it?
-
There are a lot of little subtle changes to the way it does certain things. Like the way it saves pictures and files from web pages. It's also noticeably faster than IE. The favorites bar (that you have to enable, BTW) is great. That was the main thing for me, just figuring out how to use the favorites bar...but now I'm loving this thing. Just total interactivity. It's very streamlined and everything works really efficiently.

ive been thinking about trying it out, you sold me. ill be reporting back soon.

Let's hear it, son.

Let's hear it, son.
well, im already dissapointed.
1: i was just saving a bunch of pics, EVERY time, it goes to downloads,i had to go through the trouble of scrolling down, selecting my account, then my pictures(where i save pics), with other browsers, i save it to my pictures then it automatically just takes me there to where i last saved something at. this alone is really annoying.
2: usually i can right click a mispelled word and click on the corrected spelling, cant do that on GC.
hopefully they fix these issues, the 1st one especially.
the pluses so far, increased webpage space due to tabs being on the upper most bar.

It does spellcheck for you automatically in whatever you're typing to post.

-
yes it seems to be faster.
internet explorer is the most terrible browser ever made, if i could i would uninstall that crap.

It's slow, sometimes. I'm thinking about switching to Chrome.
-
the only time when theres spam popups and other trash comin in is when i started internet explorer on accident. what a joke.
-
just tried it. Firefox is just as fast.
-
I just starting using it a month ago...The shit is awesome if you already know where you want to go...saves your shit etc...And is easy to go stealth for all you horny scum bags out there...Its pretty close to retard proof...which for me is great considering i eat out of trash cans...
-
most browsers have tons of unncessary bullshit added to it, its as light as it should be.
-
will it disable the 32 second delay?

So you won't even look at Chrome? It alright..I once had a friend like that, i would show up at his house with Harpoon IPA and he would refuse to touch it as he pounded his miller high life...I guess the moral of the story is you can't change everyone even if its for the better...
-
But it's still a beta though isnt it

-
Firefox is faster, more stable, has more features and a better UI.

What sucks for me is i know IE sucks yet im still stuck into using it. I think it was because i was raised with it. I find my self opening it all the time even though i like firefox better and know its faster.

Uninstall IE. Problem solved.

Well i guess its because of all the cookies and bookmarked sites i have on it that keeps me from doing it. It is pretty much the same concept behind Dell and Mac giving out free/cheap computers to school kids though. If you raise a kid with a mac he is going to want to use a mac when he gets older. I have always been a pc guy personally and have hated everything that i had that was mac including my ipod.

I know, I was that way too... But now I'm glad I took the time to get used to Firefox and would NEVER go back to IE :-X :-X

when you install firefox, it will import all the bookmarks from ie ::) ::) ::)
-
Firefox sucks shit because of the memory leak problem. If you leave it up and running for a day or so, it will crash.
Best to switch to Chrome.
-
If there are all these other better browsers, how come businesses still use IE (just asking cuz I don't know)

because most computers come with a preinstalled ie and most people are too lazy to install firefox, opera, or chrome themselves. in some companies, you may not have admin privileges so you have to ask it support to install for you, and most of those guys are lazy fuccks as well.

Yeah, but if they're better, why wouldn't the IT department just install when installing the business software? That doesn't come preinstalled. I'm just wondering if they "IT ppl" think there may be some kind of background spyware or adware running in those other browsers.

the usual excuse is "this or that is not safe, it messes up the network, etc" ::) ::) ::)
