Google Chrome
 
Google Chrome Browser. Has anyone else tried it?

I think I like it (so far), real streamlined and the ability to rearrange the tabs you have open plus the ability to drag a tab off to open as a new window or drag a separate window in to change it to a tab in an already opened window.

Nope, haven't tried it. I'm happy with firefox :3

Sparkeh 09-27-2008 12:24 AM

I like Firefox too.

And I actually have a different homepage for each different browser, so if I wanna check the ProPowPro forums I open the Avant browser (which has additional home pages set to open my gmail also - but I will prolly move that to the Chrome homepage setting).

And I have FiestaFan on the Firefox.

And I have a private family website (at MyFamily.com) on my I.E.

So if I open a specific browser I can go ahead & check that homepage and then I usually default to Firefox for general browsing, but I'm gonna try Chrome out for a bit. I can always go back to Firefox.

(I.E. will NEVER be my default though - I hate I.E.)

I've tried it. I actually have both on my computer right now but I'm just so used to FireFox that that's what I use right now.

But I think someone posted a introductory GoogleChrome video with all its features that I thought was really interesting.

Loveless 09-27-2008 12:28 AM

I'm using it... I use it when Firefox crashes. -__-

But I do like it, it's pretty fast too!

a.L 09-27-2008 12:30 AM

I'm too used to Opera. :/

Lady-Loki 09-27-2008 12:35 AM

And and and . . . another cool thing:

type a conversion in the address bar and it does the math:

Lady-Loki 09-27-2008 01:09 AM

Snapshot of the most visited pages - and to the right is a list of the recent bookmarks added and the recently closed tabs. handy.

Any images I posted in this thread are Chrome.

Plunger 09-27-2008 01:40 AM

Oh that looks pretty cool, i'm gonna download that. Is it just as fast as firefox though?

Lady-Loki 09-27-2008 01:45 AM

It seems to be. Just keep in mind that it is Beta. But I like what I've seen so far.

Loveless 09-27-2008 02:26 AM

It crashes less than Firefox imo... my Firefox hates me. :cries:

I find it to be faster actually.

Dynamics 09-27-2008 02:40 AM

I like firefox for it's add-ons, particularly ad-blocking. Chrome doesn't offer addons at the moment, it also needs three processes to run. That's a huge downer for me since my laptop's not top of the line.

I'll be waiting for the full release candidate before I decide. I'm always looking out for new software.

srabble031 09-27-2008 03:25 AM

chrome doesn't work for me T.T

Sparkeh 09-27-2008 07:39 AM

Firefox never crashed on me.

I tried Google Chrome.

I had a couple of issues with the way it's doing things atm:

- It adds an updater to your Startup list -> Windows starts more slowly. o.O
- Its program folder is not where you expect it to be: totally stealthed and well hidden in Documents and Settings\[your username]\Local Settings. I mean... it's just a browser, right?
- Its EULA (bet you never read it): initially, it stated that all information transmitted through Chrome will be property of Google :err:. Later it has been modified to something, which I can't remember now. lol
- lack of devs base: fortunately, though, Google has begun inviting developers to work on add-ons for Chrome.
- it's beta but Google's beta tends to have quality of a final release. Look at Gmail. lol

I might change my opinion and use it later but for now, it's definitely not an alternative to the established browsers out there.

Lady-Loki 09-27-2008 03:07 PM

I have had Firefox crash on me, but then, I tend to open a couple of browser windows with multiple tabs and overwhelm my system anyway.

And I read/skimmed a bit -but I'm thinking the part in the EULA stated that information transmitted through Chrome will be property of Google was reference in bugs crashes or whatever that are sent by the application, but that could be set to go automatically or you select to submit on occasion. And sis that not similar to wording in most browser EULAs?

And, I'm not married to it yet. I just downloaded it and was liking some of the aesthetics. I like the fact that there is more window and less header, I like the New Tab presentation and I really like the address bar doing calculations like it does. But like I said above, I have different homepages set in different browsers and I have done it that way for a long time so I will probably still use three or four different browsers all the time anyway.
