so google has a web browser...anyone try it yet (just released in the very near past....within the last couple hours)? i am on it now and so far i like it page loads are REALLY fast and off the bat can watch youtube vids without needing a plugin (unless it's arleady preloaded)

Tried downloading it when i got into the office this morning, but it wasn't out... Getting it now!

i kinda like it. it's running faster than firefox at the moment.

I like it too... so far nice clean UI and fast... Google is the new Microsoft...

Using it as we speak. Nice and clean best describes it. No junk.

Read the privacy policy on this thing....typical google...

Just downloaded it and so far it seems ok...nothing spectacular yet. I have some pages that have to be rendered using the IE engine, and Firefox has the IE Tab addon which is great.

Reading through the Privacy Policy the first thing I noticed was the date..

Well, 1st main issue I have found...

http://home.cogeco.ca/~jerremy/remote.jpg

I need to use remotely anyhwere to access my desktop/server and there is no plugin available for java or activex, for me that is failure right away.

it's first release.......

[openuser]

I'll consider using it once all the hackers get stab at the browser..
Ya know hidden security risks and stuff that inevitably come with the first release of any browsers..

It's very Opera Browser like, downloaded it and uninstalled it in about 10 mins..lol..

[b3GS]

google is going to take over the world soon

[Fobio]

Chrome isn't playing nice with all of Facebook's new functions...it's much faster than IE8 prolly due to the pre-caching that it does...I wonder how that'll affect my bandwidth usage...

EDIT: For those who KNOW that Google is the next Micro$oft:

as of today the english version of the section 11 of the agreement has been amended. funny enough agreements in other languages haven't been corrected just yet. hopefully they're working on it.

as for everything else: they better work on their installation cuz it seems to fail one way or another in about 85% of cases. also doesn't work well with some java plugins and security certificates, but then again, it's only a beta.

otherwise, i am pretty happy with it
