Interesting.. I knew Google was coming out with a browser but I had no ideal that Microsoft was trying to make their browser harder for Google to search the web and get the latest infomation for their search engine...
Well I guess this is proof that we "can't all get along"....
I guess it makes sense though... Microsoft trying to make their search engine more attractive over the powerhouse Google..
Maybe a simple toolbar from google can get around this? Everybody would need to use a toolbar from google (I already do), perhaps they could come up with something like that to use. and get infomation.. -
I just downloaded Google's new browser... Very simple format and seems to be fairly fast..
If you decide to download it and try it out for awhile please post your opinions on this browser over time... -
i just downloaded it now ... been waiting almost a week to get at it. so far so good ... i'll really get a chance to put it to work tomorrow ... we'll see how strong it really is.
as far as aesthetics, it's better than IE by a LOOOOONG shot ... but could use some improvement to compete with Firefox. I have no use for IE, so anything's better.
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to load pages faster (refresh rate?) and scrolling is faster an smoother than with firefox.
i'll keep ya updated. -
I got it as well and it loads pages VERY fast! I actually like it. I won't use FireFox anymore and am moving from IE as soon as I can get my RoboForm to work on Google Chrome. I am sick of IE and FireFox...Google hit big with this one for sure. Very nice for being brand new even!

With the way google tracks your search results and such just from using their engine...no thanks.
I'm pleased enough with Firefox. -
-
Well this is the first version and I have experienced a few bugs here and there.. Spell check seems a little weak but so far it is a very nice browser..
FASTEST BROWSER I HAVE USED -
I just downloaded it today. SO far I'm impressed. It does seem fast to load.
-
I have been using Chrome since Sept 2. It is fast.
it needs to work with Google toolbar.
It is a Beta release so things will get better.
