Browsers forum: Poll: What do you think of the Google Chrome browser?

Its design looks interesting enough to try, but early user reviews suggest it may not be ready for prime time. Also, even if I loved it, I wouldn't switch until there was a Linux version available. Finally, I'd expect it to either provide, or have a way to install, all of the add-on functionality I'm used to using with Firefox. It's the incompatibility of some of my favorite add-ons that prevents me from updating Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 (although I do have Firefox 3 installed on of my Linux machines).

isn't that what they used to put on car bumpers? yep...if you're old enuff to have seen one. I didn't know trere was a new brouser until i got this weeks e-mail. unless it knows what I need and finds it before i even have to ask, I dont see any benefit except to the exclusive ads to sell something. Otherwise it's just something else to clutter and slow the system down

I know it's still beta, but this thing works noticeably faster than FF.

Well, I downloaded Chrome and clicked on a video tutorial on how to use it. It froze. I deleted it. It may have been a one in a million occurence. But since I'm happy with what my mother calls "Gorilla Fox"(she may not know what it is that I downloaded for her, but she knows it's much faster than IE or AOL), I'll stick with that for a while longer...

I think it's pretty much the same as the last IE, but it's faster, cleaner, there is a lot more space to see the page since they stripped off all the bars that were useless. Also, I like the main page of the favorites. And since it's google, we know it's open source (wich is kind) and we know it'll be updated.

Right now it's in the beta phase and it works pretty well. Not everything is perfect, but I'm gonna stick with them.

PS: I hate M$ so when I can move outside their range I'm happy. I use vista since it's the best (for me), but I'm trying to get less other M$ stuff. Viva google! =D

I've bveen using Opera for almost 10 years, and would not change to any other browser. Have tried them all out.

From what I've seen a lot of the Firefox features where copied by Google for this thing, I wonder if that's legal.......................

I am totally happy with Firefox. Just checked the Chrome thing out of curiosity.

that Google chrome is not compatable with Roboform. This means a lot of extra typing and filling forms. So it's back to Firefox for me at least till Chrome becomes Roboform compatable

just two words: fast & light.

Another Google toy that should help them to know more about its users.
Read the License agreement and if you are still using it do not complain about other software collecting user data anymore.

I've only used it for about 7 hours. It certainly copies much of the niceties of Firefox. It is fast with some pages; not with others. I personally like the big, clean pages showing Most Visited, History, and Downloads. I didn't like having to install a newer (Beta) version of Java. (It apparently doesn't like the version which Firefox was happy with.) So far, it appears to be as good as Firefox against spyware.

While irrelevant to most users, one thing really appreciated is the ability to change the UI language at will after installation. That's very nice for us who may need bi- or multilinguality.

It will now have to earn the trust equal to the other big ones.

I am still operating on Windows 2000 and Chrome won't run on it.

I only downloaded it last night, but have enjoyed it so far.
It seems easier to use but there is more to it. Can't really explaine that but it's a great browser. May even make it my default.
I also have IE and Firefox.
I heard about it from a TV interview for Googles 10th birthday celebrations.

Great program.
Thanks Google

If you are in the mood for trying browsers you might as well give the new beta of Internet Explorer 8 a try as well as Safari. There is something to like with all of them. It will be interesting as to who will eventually win out in the war of the browsers?

I loaded the Google Chrome browser as soon as it was available, and was pleased with the initial uncluttered format.

On giving it its first search, It did not find what I was looking for.

I then logged onto Yahoo and asked the same question word for word and was immediately presented with answer I was looking for.

I shall not be deleting Google Chrome but most of my searches in future will be done with Yahoo.
