This is a discussion on Google "Chrome" within the Tech Corner forums, part of the Everything But Cigars category; Anybody tried the new Google browser, "Chrome"? I downloaded it today. Pretty simple and straightforward....

I'm waiting for the Mac version, but once it comes out I'll be sure to dload it.

I've been hearing some good things from ArsTechnica and some other Tech blogs.

I thought about it until I read the review of it on CNN today. Sounds like they have alot of bugs to work out.

For me it is slower than firefox, but I like the invisible mode on it...still playing and tweaking but other than that....Looks good and stable.

Got an email alert from the IT dept. at work that says not to download it ---I'm sure it's because it is a BETA Ver..--Maybe!

i like it so far. i think the feature that it has that firefox could use is if one tab crashes, it just crashes that tab and shuts it down, unlike firefox where the whole browser will shut down. it has a nice slick interface and i like how you can drag a tab off the bar and it will open in a new window. also, you can create an "application shortcut" on your desktop for website you use all the time like gmail. i still love my tricked out firefox, but i'm sure that there will be some add-ons for this coming soon.

not sure how the security on it is yet, and i wont be doing any sort of banking or purchasing on it till i find out.

I agree firefox is better so far but I tend to love all google products picasa is one of the best apps out there.

I had it and uninstalled it. Didn't like the way it looked or performed.

It is really slow. If they can fix the speed issue it would be a good product.

I guess I'm old fashioned (there's a news flash), but I'm still using Yahoo!, the OLD version.

Very happy with it, BTW.
