Trust me, your not blind. I did not see it either until I sat staring for 10 seconds.

spud107 · Sep 3, 2008

looks good so far, i think my order of preference is now opera > chrome > ff > ie
only cos opera had inbuilt email and irc

Urbklr · Sep 3, 2008

I am loving this browser. Needs the middle-mouse button function fixed, and smoother scrolling before I us it full-time thou...but it is a keeper for me.

Apocolypse007 · Sep 3, 2008

Im writing this in chrome. I like it's crash resistance (if chrome chrashes, you only lose a tab). And it is very speedy as well. Theme goes VERY well with aero (especially w/dreamscene).

Since it is a beta, i will ignore the middle mouse functionality and lack of smooth scrolling.

I see there is an option to clear browser data, but is there a way that I can have chrome do this automatically like you can with Firefox?

WOW , this is so fast .

Love the tabs up in the heaven idea, gives so much desk space .

This thing also installed something called Google Gears .

http://gears.google.com/

EDIT : uninstall dialog is hilarious !!!!!!! Legendary

This thing is strange too with process manager, everytime a new tab is opened a new chrome.exe process starts up . Like this RAM usage may be same or more than Firefox .

This only with 2 youtube videos playing in 2 tabs and a blank tab

This is how it prevents a tab from crashing the whole system .

I've been trying it all day. Just don't like it so far. I'll try some later versions to see if their tweaks make me like it better.

Give me smoother scrolling, better Adblock options, and different Themes, and I might like it a lot better.

I found this hilarious. The icon worthy of an avatar:

Right......

selway89 · Sep 3, 2008

Hmm I like it. But For some reason TPU doesn't seem to like loading images, and there is always a bar saying 'Connecting' or 'Waiting for www.techpowerup.com'

Is there a specific Flash plugin for Chrome, I can't find one.

Other than that very good!

Hi,

I have been using it from last few hours

And, I realized that some plugings are not working with Chrome. I think we will have to wait for better version.

Wow nice browser.I like it.

Deleted member 38767 · Sep 3, 2008

So far so good. It has the potential but until the add-ons start pouring in I'll stick to what I'm using now. Really like the "Omni Bar" though. Need more options for customizing the looks and the functions. Also I'm really missing the mouse gestures and some other stuff. I guess those things will appear in later versions.

OK, here comes the bucket of cold water to cool down a bit:
Chrome Privacy Is Full of Dents

So, how many of you would have read the privacy policy? I did not :ohwell:

I havent had that problem yet with images. I really like it. Opera I dont care for anymore. So now its FF, Chrome and IE for compatibility!!!

Regardless, it's something to look into. I think that level of data collection is uncalled for, personally.

You can toggle that during installation where it asks "would you like to participate....blah....".

Besides, it's only a beta. Google wants to know how the world is receiving it. You can blame Chrome privacy only after a stable release is out and it does the same things.

Does it really matter who says it? I read the Privacy policy just now and I don't see something that distressing: Google just collects statistic information for the usage of its browser. Still I really wouldn't read the policy if it wasn't for that article and there actually could have been something worth worrying there.

incognito is for looking at porn and not getting caught by your wife lololol

DaMulta · Sep 3, 2008

It was slow loading porn, and it crashed watching porn with flash player.

FireFox and IE FTW
