Google continue to take over the web

[Jordy]

This time they've introduced a new browser! http://www.google.com/chrome

 

[D306]

wow, very fast response


Posted via Chrome

 

[Gizmogle]

It is quite impressive. Not sure I like the theme though.

 

[D306]

agreed, it's a bit bland

 

[Gizmogle]

I'm sure they'll have plenty of skins and themes for it soon. I'm quite liking it though.

 

[Jordy]

Yeh i've been using it for a day or so, it loads much faster than Firefox and I like the theme personally!

Try downloading something, looks pretty good

 

[D306]

it's faster than what I was using

 

[Gizmogle]

Yeah. It is alot faster than FF, which is quite impressive.

Going incognito doesn't affect the behaviour of other people, servers or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages that you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you

As well as a little follow up reading http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/03/google_chrome_eula_sucks/

Not going on any PC's here till I see a better EULA

 

[Gizmogle]

So basically, they can steal anything that we upload to Fotopic for example?

I honestly think this one is just a case of "Google Humour"

 

[Gizmogle]

I'm back on Firefox for a while lol.

 

[will1337]

I fail to see any reason to use it above FF3. It hasn't developed to get all the plugins that FF has, uses more RAM, it's rather similar (the bookmark dialogue box is IDENTICAL) and there's all the iffy concerns about it being Google and stealing your soul and genitals etc. Speed seems about the same as well.

 

[Gizmogle]

For me the speed has defiantely been faster with Chrome!

I've not tried it yet, but I've read that is has a task manager and each tab runs as its own process which sounds like it could be a good idea in principle.

However, there's no Mac version as yet so I'll be sticking with Firefox.

 

[Mojo]

The article has now been updated and Google have removed the offending paragraph from their EULA.

If the whole thing does go down though, it's a pain ending each process if there's 50+ tabs open.

 

[Gizmogle]

The article has now been updated and Google have removed the offending paragraph from their EULA.

So they aren't going to steal everything ever?

 

[Jordy]

Nah

Oh Dear.

I looked at it when i first saw the link the other day, and thought i would pass on it.

Downloaded it today, after i got bored at work and thought it would be interesting to see what it is like. I love it and will not be going back to firefox

Sorry if it doesn't make much sence very tired!

 

[Guinness]

Looks and has similar features to Firefox and hence why I can't be bothered to download another Web Browser. Be better if Google and Firefox went in open arms with each to create an ultimate browser that better challenge IE.

 

[Mintona]

IE for the win. I am never getting rid of it.

 

[me123]

I have IE8 (I think...) and it works really well on Vista. Until now, though, I always went FF. That "Chrome" does look interesting though... might give it a little spin at some point...

 

[Andy]

This maybe a stupid question, but where do you access your favourites/bookmarks??? Ive found where you can add them but no where to access them.

Someone please help, it seems i can handle £1000 adobe software but a web browser is too much :grin:

 

[devon_metro]

This is fantastically fast!

 

[P156KWJ]

switched from Opera to this

 

[laseandre]

IE FTW!
