Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

Safer till people at microshaft throw a few bucks at the brilliant people behind many of todays bugs and virii to go "even the playingfield" allowing microshaft to re-instate thier monopolistic regim upon us none-free-choosing people of technology.

You can have oranges...or oranges, apples do not exist, like it or..... well like it.

I'll stick with IE as it tends to be interated into the vista engine, like all MS OS's they run better when not used in conjunction with 3rd party , commie inspired upstart programs and applications that run better, faster, safer and longer.  ;D

Cheers.

P.s Dear Google, skip the applications and start making OS's

Apples do exist. Linux. 8)

Linux; a free, open source and community driven OS.  Most commie thing ever. Almost a shame it's so good.

First post using Chrome.  Not a bad little browser on first inspection, I'll have to give it a more complete look when i'm off the work clock.

Too bad Apple is trying to put the squash on porting OS-X to pc, i'd buy it over anything microshaft, and that truly is apples to oranges.  > 

But i'd LOVE to have a 64 bit win.32/win.64 compatible dos over anything else.  command line launching ...oh how i miss dos.

As for linux, i messed with red hat back in the day, never got hooked on it and i paid 5 bucks for the distro-disk so it's almost free.  Always wondered how these guys managed to make an OS that microsoft didn't buy out and destroy or squash through lawyer infested court crawls.
Maybe there is hope for the PC's after all.

Wonder how long MS will take to launch a protest over "googlesplorer"?

Cheers

I'm liking it so far. Very fast. Maybe a quarter to a fifth of the memory usage I normally get
with Firefox.

The 'new tab' window is great; it'll show thumbnails of your most popular sites and a menu of your bookmarks.

You can set it so when it opens it will open a default list of sites, each in its own tab. I love that. Great for people with three or four 'regular' sites they always check first thing; in my case, the news, three different forums, and facebook.

I've yet to find a way to link it to Gmail. That will likely be an addon shortly. I want my gmail notifier. Also, it doesn't do middle-mouse-button 'drag' scrolling. Minor detail.

Thus far I'm impressed.

I like it for the same reasons!  I like how small and simple and clean it is.  Pretty impressed, actually.

I downloaded it... tried installing it, but when I clicked on the setup icon: Zilch.
My computer machine sucks.   But it doesn't like me either, so it's a mutual thing.

So far, so good.  Slightly more responsive than Firefox, but then again, I'm not running the machine under my typical load.

Just like every other program, though, it puts terrible typing errors into my finely crafted inputs  ;D

I have been doing that with IE and firefox for ages...

So far I have found most of the same bugs that firefox has... mostly with regards to scripts (ie facebook photo albums etc)...

Now I add 1 more browser to my testing suite ...  IE 6 and 7, Safari, Firefox and Mozilla, OS2008 Diablo, and now Chrome... it's getting harder and harder to build things when nothing wants to standardize....

I like it!

[tomahawk6]

[observor 69]

Certainly seems faster on Army.ca.  ;D
