Google Chrome Beta

Okay not much to say here other than Googles new browser Chrome is being released into beta today.


From the website -

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



*Shrugs* I like it so far. Hasn't crashed on me yet unlike FF.

It looks like a six year old picked out the color scheme.

^knowing Google, I wouldn`t be surprised if a six year old did do the colour scheme.

It`s gay. It`s damn fuggly. The search bar replaces the address bar (if you type in localhost to what you think is the address bar, it takes you to a google search), input boxes expand when you type in them and mess up your sites` CSS, it`s damn ugly, it sends all your info and habits to Google`s datacenters, it`s hideously aesthetically designed, it has no adblock feature, and also, did I mention it doesn`t look very nice?

^^ are you kidding??
im glad your not a graphic designer.

this browser feels exactly like a browser should feel. transparent!

I am using it now and i am telling you it is the fastest browser on the market and in its beta stages already kills all the competition in terms of ease of use and accessibility. There are a few things they need to fix like not having Adblock plus yet (which was by the way, a third party addon for firefox)

There is always a group of people out there who just out of spite, want to say negative things about anything thats "new".

This is revolutionary speed and stability. If thats what matters to you, then Chrome is not far from perfection.

I installed Google Chrome, and nothing came up but an error about some windows disk blablabla at address, yatta yatta. After that, I couldn`t get back into windows, safe mode, or any other way. Had to restore the whole pc. AWESOME!

Yeah, wait till they support 3rd party add ons and the browser will slow down a lot me thinks. Also wait for spyware.

I like Firefox. I`m not going to replace it for Google anything.

Chrome is probably going to take some of the non-nerd market away from firefox and a lot from IE. But serious firefox and opera users will simply not move away from all their add-ons and special themes.

It`s simply a basic browser which schools and old people can use without fear of modern complexity.
