Google Chrome Browser


Recommended Posts

Looks very nice, I lvoe the minimal design, it took tie to load Neowin at first but is running nice and fast now.

Its a very nice browser for a google "beta".

But for now I think I'll stick with Firefox, but in time as it improves I can see me using it as my main browser.

Why did I get a localised version? My windows is in english, I downloaded it from the english website, always use google.com US and my gmail is also in english as well. I may be in spain and speak spanish and everything but come on !!!! it could have asked me!

Hm, after restarting my internet connection it works at least the as fast as firefox (in terms of page loading)...

Anyway, I'm wondering why the hell does it install to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\ and not to Program Files like any normal app...

Super fast for me, even on Neowin which I was having problems with earlier. Having no smooth scolling though is really upsetting just simply because I'm so accustomed to it.

It's great that it's so minimal but I'm truly disliking the blue. It's a silly complaint I'm sure, but with other things I use it just stands out like a freakin sore thumb and makes it very noticeable that I'm playing on the internet.

I also can't find a way to clean my history out when I close the browser...while I haven't tested it to see if it's automatic, it IS very important for me since I'm browsing at work most of the time. Well okay, I take that back, I did just find how to clear it when I want to..but not automatically upon shutting the program down.

yup, that's why I called a piece of **** browser.

Every browser starts out as an infant and grows up.

This is a very nice move to put pressure on IE.

They are going to have to step up IE 8 and then 9 development when all the other 3 browsers on the net will fully support Acid 3 by next year in shipping versions, while promoting open standards.

Yes, I received a Canadian English version without asking for it either. It must use geo-location from your download location.

Flavour, colour test. Fail!

Nope, the dictionaries are American but it does give my Canadian search engines (i.e. Sympatico).

It's like being on IE, Firefox and safari at the same time.

It has the engine that safari uses. A LOT of things feel very firefoxy (the omnibar is some sort of awesome bar but not quite) and it also has some IE things as well (like the stop button being where it is), and the "page" menu exactly like IE.

Wow, it's so fast! Much faster than FF3 and Safari, but slower than Opera. Performs amazing, three tabs open, yet only 16MB of RAM and 21MB virtual memory. I don't think any browser can compare with the memory performance.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
