Google Chrome...

Has anybody tried it? and if so what do ya think about it?

It's not Internet Explorer therefore there is some degree of automatic win.

From a technical standpoint since it uses separate processes to deal with tabs it can be more stable than browsers that use threads for their tabs. Never actually used it though, since it's still really windows-only.

I'd try it if I had any reason to be confident that it's not a big piece of spyware.

Its lovely. I run one of my accounts off it - works wonderfully.

 

[icarusforde]

Oh, I also agree with Dark_Lite on the automatic win thing. Although, IE is good for speedcounting.

It's open source. That's confidence++ right there. If it were spyware you'd know.

 

[bill'swife]

Well, I got it now and I like it. It is fast.

I had someone PM me on how to speedpost, but I still can't get it....can you make a "Speeposting for Dummies" version for me?

 

[bill'swife]

bump....speedposting lesson anyone?

I installed the latest build on my Mac today and it's FAST! All it needs is addons to make me switch.

My husband uses it and loves it. I.... hate it. I can't live without some of my Firefox extensions, and until Chrome catches up, I can't use it.

There is an adblocker for Chrome, that helps some. It doesn't render some pages properly, most likely Flash pages. We tried to get to the Ticketmaster site with Chrome and it loaded nothing.

On my husband's WinXP Pro dual-core at home, he can't use certain sites on Chrome without getting an up-till-now-almost-unheard-of BSOD. This is very unusual behavior for WinXP, but some digging in Google searches turned up that it's a problem only with dual-cores and only when using Chrome, from what little I've been able to find out about it. It never happened before he started using Chrome, and it never happens when he's using Firefox.

To me, it's not ready for prime time.

I tried it and it was certainly fast, but with the addons for Firefox, I'm still sticking with it. Chrome is a good option, but not quite there for me.

Google Chrome has a lot of potential but it still is pretty buggy from what I have seen. Use it for things that are not important.
