Google Chrome (new browser)

[Bozza]

Anyone giving it a go?

 

[mattb]

not yet but i will do... i expect it'll be very good as it is done by google

Was using it a little while ago. Not impressed. Seems quite slow to me.

Well it is still a BETA!

I think Google's big name(regardless of the product) could help make it a success.

Using it now, seems OK, a little different to look at, but seems to do the same sort of stuff. Still think I prefer IE7, not tried IE8 yet.

Having said that, you do get a bit more stuff on the screen less taken up by menu bars and that.

where can you get it? i thought it was only available tomorrow?

Not bad, very stripped down compared to other browsers. Seems to have no problems loading stuff that other browsers need addons for. Load speed is not bad, possibly slightly slower because of the way it multithreads tasks. I expect Google will link it more closely to iGoogle and other applications that they have, but that may not be a bad thing. I give it a week before someone finds a fatal exploit though!

Try pressing F11 on any browser... more stuff on the screen!

is there any way to take off the "Other Bookmarks" bit but leave the rest of the bookmarks bar there?

So does Firefox.

 

[mattb]

Not without installing an add-on it doesn't.

right click on them and delete them.
Just downloaded bit like firefox really

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

The new firefox looks exactly like it.

 

[mattb]

i think he means the actual option for "other bookmarks" on the far right of the toolbar, which I'm not sure there is

I don't like the fonts, I don't like googles policy of knowing my internet business and I definatly don't like the way it sucks your locked usernames and passwords in from your current browser without telling you...

I'm holding off !!!

it does tell you, in fact, you choose whether it does it or not

also, i don't think google is the only internet company guilty for knowing your internet business

you can choose your own fonts
