Google Chrome
Google's Web Browser
I have been using it..cant say if it beats firefox (i mean its not an easy thing to do)..but you all should try it as well. Google Chrome - Download a new browser |
I can't exactly explain why, but I have absolutely no desire to try this out. I like Google and all, but I just don't know.
Maybe it's because nothing in Firefox disappoints me, and I don't feel anything is missing. If it becomes generally accepted that this new browser is tops, I might try it. Until then? I have not reason to use up the time. |

ahh no ad block!
|
tried it. It's fast! that's nice. But I'm not overly fond of its interface.
|
It's quickly winning me over...
I'm desperate for an alternative 'cause all browsers, including FireFox, leak memory like there's no tomorrow. I'm hoping Google Chrome will be different and I have good reason to believe that it will be. I like its minimalist interface and its sheer speed is seductive... |
Its going to have to have some add ons for me to want to use it at work, the only way I can get to TFP (at work) is to use the proxy add on because ever since the upgrade my work firewall blocks it for some reason lol AND for some strange reason it wont load gmail at work either
|
Benchmarks are in for the JavaScript engine... Chrome blows everyone away.
Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari | Business Tech - CNET News |
In the grand scheme of things, this speed difference is of little consequence to me. I'm going to wait to see what people are saying about the whole package.
|
Well, when you consider that many of today's best websites use a heavy amount of JavaScript, you might reconsider. If you've ever used Digg, Google Docs, Gmail, Facebook, or any page that allows a high amount of element interaction (drag/drop, new content without refreshing, etc) you'll probably appreciate the speed.
|
Everything is faster. I'm using it for almost everything at work, but I still want my mouse gestures.

Ideally, if Chrome does everything else as good as or better than Firefox, I'll reconsider. |

Also, while it is present in the current nightlies, it isn't on by default yet. There's an about:config preference to do so: set javascript.options.jit.chrome to true. |

DO NOT WANT RIDICULOUS EULA
Quote:
Use Chrome to look at your flickr? Those images belong to Google now. Make a blog post? Belongs to google Upload an mp3? Google's now. What's that? They can't have the copyright rights because you don't own the content, by, say, looking at someone ELSE'S flikr? Well...you just better not do that, as they've got they're ass covered... Quote:

Is license actually spelled the way it is in your post in their legal terms?

If you've forgotten, click here and scroll down: Google Chrome for Windows - Terms and Conditions Agreement 11.2 and 11.3 aren't exactly benign either, they just pale in comparison to 1 and 4: Quote:

um ok then why is it spelled right in what you just quoted, but is wrong in the first post (not that it matters I just wondered how it got misspelled so many times lol)

This is most likely standard legalese. If this were meant to be the case, they wouldn't be in business much longer.
After all the press about it in the past couple of days, it surely will be reworded. I can't see how that could possibly hold up in a Court of law, or how Google would expect to continue growth. EDIT: Here ya go: Quote:

So how long before the RIAA sues Google for claiming rights to downloaded music?

It most definitely isn't...well, it is standard for google (the reason I don't use orkut), but I agree that they will probably reword it, as "chrome EULA" has 35000 google (hmm i sense a problem) hits currently, I think it will probably be resolved soon. Similar cases with myspace and a few others have been changed. Me? I will wait. Gizmodo's take: http://gizmodo.com/5044871/google-ch...osts-to-emails |

Google is probably the world's biggest violator of copyright laws. National and international copyright laws should supersede anything Google sneaks into their terms. Of course, much of this is still foggy in this digital age. And, by the way, the "Content" doesn't belong to Google; they're merely licensed to use it as the terms outline (i.e., make money off of it). |
This article might be of interest...

That EULA is scary, but now that they're rescinding it... how do you feel? I figure that there was no way the company could get away with that.
|
I feel relieved that they are backtracking it, but I also feel that people should read what they are accepting, and assume the company has had its lawyers look it over and can enforce it.
|
Google: Launch early and iterate.
|
Licence is spelled with two "cs" in the UK and Canada (and most of the English-speaking world). The "s" is American spelling.
|
Is it just me or is there no "home" button? I've set my homepage, however I don't know how to actually go to it minus typing it in of course.
|
In the options menu, there is a check box to show the home button on the tool bar.
|
Fun little piece.. if you go into the task manager, there is a button called "Stats for nerds" - gotta love it.

I am using it and I am getting a lot of strange errors. First off, every youtube page I visit, it tells me that the video is no longer available... Works fine in IE and Firefox. I have reinstalled Flash, both for IE and non-IE browsers twice.
I tried filling out a registration form online to buy some school books and every time I received an error that something was incorrect on the page with the list of incorrect items blank. Worked fine in IE. It is interesting, and I bet as the beta progresses lots more features will come out. So far, I really don't like how it saves my history and doesn't clear my browser cache on exist. |
I'll have a look at this around January, I think. That should be plenty of time to get an adblock, a bugmenot, and a keylogger defeat extension out there.
|
I am kinda enjoying it, the speed is visibly faster than FF, but who knows if that is due to Noscript, Adblock, and any other extensions I have installed.
Don't know if I will make an outright switch as I have NEVER had any issues with FF and it runs stable as a rock. |
Same. I don't like the IE-like layout either. I'll wait for the regular extensions such as adblock etc that others have already mentioned.
|
The first thing I noticed is that it pulls proxy settings straight out of IE, and doesn't let you have your own proxy just for Chrome. :/
|
When I installed Windows it set my hard drive as disk H, and the card reader I have installed set up as drives C, D, E, and F, with my DVD drive as G. I don't know why it did it that way, but now ever since I installed Chrome I get a periodic googleupdate.exe message complaining about no disk in drive C. I can't make that pop-up go away until I stick a flash drive in drive C and click Continue or Retry. It's really starting to piss me off.
