I’ve been using Chrome for the past few days and I’m really turned on by it. It’s a very good browser, I like the tab management, but the spell check needs some work ( they need to integrate Google search with the spell check ). I’m hoping that firefox extensions or some kind of google extensions will be released because I really need firebug on my browser for usability and workflow for my job. I love the “add a app” feature, been needing that for awhile now. All in all it’s in beta 1, what can we expect but greatness from google even in beta stages. They have an awesome team working on this product day and night and it will become better! Linux and OSX support will come soon as well!

[...] recently recorded a video talking about Google’s new Web Browser, Google Chrome. I was excited about it then, and I still am. Google Chrome has set the bar higher [...]

Change the world? No. It’s a browser, not the cure for polio.

But it is nice…

Even as beta, I already love Chrom. I see how easy and beautiful and simple it would be once it is completed. I count on Google to produce the best

I never jumped on the Google train and I won’t now. Their stated intention to archive and track every person that touches an application they create has turned me completely off. Big Brother is with us and it is Google. Yes, they are probably doing it anyway but I don’t need to make it easier for them by abandoning alternatives (some of which are better than Google but lack the hype). Google is not a verb. It is a noun in any of its many forms, and it stands for all consuming profit at any cost. Buy into it if you want, but all of the freebies Google hands out comes at a cost to your privacy. If that doesn’t bother you, go for it.

You know, Its like the OS wars. There will always be competition and thats the way the technology business will always think they have a better idea. So there will always be other browsers.

But besides for that totally Chrome seems like a giant step up from any other browser I have used. And for the first time I have seen the browser use hardware to its advantage. I like that. I don’t think Chrome will change web standards or how we look at the web. Everyone else just looks at is as a another browser. And it is, but it will change the way we experience the web

I used chrome, and i gotta say, i’m not to fond of it…

the reason is because i’m so attached to my precious fire fox… i mean its a big change, i don’t have any of my addons and im so use to fire fox because i have been using it for years… and to me it seems a bit slower… and i couldent stand that.

I think it may take a few months for people that aren’t into tech to find out about it, but I think it will skyrocket because it’s such a familiar name.

I tried Chrome for about half a day and I came away disappointed. The process handler is the only game it’s got going. The JavaScript engine has issues that I thought was limited to Facebook but others found that Chrome broke other sites. The bookmarks need some more work (keywords anyone). I still think the awesome bar in Firefox is better than Chromes address bar. Is it fast? Yes but not as much as they make it sound. My final thought, Chrome is not breaking down any walls in it’s current state. Google has a ways to go with this one. I know I will get backlash from this post as it already happened on Facebook.

Chrome brings some new things to the table but it lacks custimizability and other features. The way the ui is set up is very similar to how i have my maxthon browser set up (very simplified). However, chrome is TOO stripped down. It doesn’t contain and rss reader, but hopefully there will be downloadable apps like firefox.
