Google Chrome

Anybody using the new browser from Google called Google Chrome (http://chrome.google.com). I'm using it now and I think it's a great start for Google. I like when you open new tabs and you get a listing of the most frequent sites you visit for easier access.

I downloaded it and
it doesn't support opacity by default.
(didn't find it in settings either).

It's only beta so I withhold judgment for now

I've had some issues with it already as mentioned in a previous post on the subject. It's going to have to do a lot more to make me switch from FF3...but all in all, not a bad browser and will assuredly get better as time goes on.

Since its from Google so I am also having curiosity for that. But rite now I have packed schedule an do not have time to experiment with it.

May be after few days in leisure time.

Apparently the next beta version of Chrome will support plugins, or the Google Chrome equivalent. Most people like firefox because of those, so we'll see how they react once Chrome includes that ability.

Well they launched it and now they are modifying it as they are receiving various tips and suggestion from all around the world and in this manner I am sure they will be able to build great web browser for coming years.

Google chrome sounds like a interested Web Browser, and Google is really turning into a LARGE company, search engine, email, videos, maps, a lot more and now a Web Browser! Amazing, Haha.

I might try it later.

I've got Google Chrome. I alternate between using it and Firefox since there are some Firefox features I've gotten attached to and I don't see ready equivalents in Chrome. I expect Google's got some heavy plans underway to tie Chrome functions,via the API's, into its other stuff ( Google Apps, Google Docs, etc. ) to distinguish it as "Not just another Browser like Firefox, IE, Opera".
Yeah. Google wants to redefine Browing as we Know IT. Just think, Microsoft would have tried the same thing if they had actually bought Yahoo!

I use Chrome on and off. The main thing that I love about it is that each tab is a separate process. If one tab crashes the entire thing won't go down with it. However, I really can't live without half of my Firefox addons, so I tend to stay with that more.

I'm only after switching to Mozilla Firefox, after using Internet Explorer for years. Shame on me

I think that I'd need a very good reason for changing to Google Chrome now.
Does it really have anything yet that Firefox doesn't ?

I simply enjoy browsing on Google Chrome. It keeps your screen so clean that it helps you work faster.

And with the passage of more time, I am sure Google has many more surprises [Features] for all of us.

I would say, everyone should try it.

I trise the browser a couple of weeks ago and I think it's nice but, I had a problem that I didn't like which is that in order for it to load pages quicker it sometimes gets the page from the cache and that leads to not having the latest update of the page
