Google Chrome

O'Doyle · 09-02-2008, 03:41 AM

Google is fighting IE now with a browser of it's own! It's expected to come out tomorrow, and it looks frickin' shweet. It includes:
* A new UI that places the tabs above the address bar, instead of the traditional way
* Incognito mode, which will allow you to browse the web in complete privacy, without recording any of your activity.
* A new JavaScript engine to speed things up
* They've even put up a web comic to provide users with additional information regarding Chrome.

Here's the article on Ubergizmo

This looks neat.
I will most likely use my beloved FireFox 3.

Sweet. Looks like they took stuff from Opera, FF, and IE and mashed it all together. I'm not so sure about the multiple processes, but we'll see. The new permissions system has been somewhat available through third party software, but it's good to see it as a free feature. I'm definitely going to download this.

We shall see if Google is capable of anything other than having a good search engine...

That web comic is just propaganda, and I do not see much of an advantage of having the tabs above the address bar. I am not paranoid enough to jump for joy about the 'incognito' mode.

It looks like it could be cool, But I really don't see a single reason I would choose it over Firefox.

O'Doyle · 09-02-2008, 09:05 AM

I will use both FF3 and chrome. =D

It looks pretty good. Cant wait to try it.

EndUnknown · 09-02-2008, 09:52 AM

supposed to come out later today / early tomorrow. windows only atm. linux/mac vers to follow

Space Toast · 09-02-2008, 10:02 AM

cool cuz all i have right now is my Mac.

Dizzy · 09-02-2008, 11:07 AM

I'm not so sure about it.
Sure, it's nice to see another open source application, but just because it is one and it's by google doesn't mean it's a must have.
FF3 works solidly for me.

So far as I understand it, this is just the first step in a Google OS and while I like google, I'm not going to make my computer ergo centric around it.

Space Toast · 09-02-2008, 11:14 AM

No, Agreed Dizzy, but it is still interesting enough to try it out.
But your right, Im not a googlemaniac.

Cool Thanks for the Link Dizzy.

nathanlawliet · 09-02-2008, 12:47 PM

I've got it right now (using it now) and it is f*cking awesome. As always, it's better than IE (What isn't?) so now I'm debating Firefox or GC?

Of course, since this is in beta I'll probably stick to Firefox for my main browser but this is still a nice little app to have.

EndUnknown · 09-02-2008, 12:50 PM

if adblock ends up on GC It might become my default
