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  ???

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.

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.

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...
