Google Chrome Browser

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

Oh and it started off so well!

Dedicated Porn Mode included!

I like it, it's not what I'd use day in day out as I have various extensions in Firefox 3 that cannot be replaced for ease of use and simplicity (BBCode extension, FireFTP, AdBlock etc).

Be good to see it develop into something profound though.

So it didn't import my bookmarks from IE correctly AT ALL.

Anyone else experience this?

Also the features YouTube video on their main tab is no longer available...

didnt import my firefox bookmarks either. in fact, it crashed while doing so

GoogleUpdate.exe can't connect Error code = 0x80042197 . Piece of shi*

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.

16 mb ram? all the processes combined?

[Admodieus]

I really like it so far. It's lightning fast, it looks good on Vista, and it has somewhat like Mozilla's Prism built in.

I like how it highlights the domain, I saw a FF extension that did that.

Come on, Mac version!

After about 20 minutes running the installer I gave and started again, not got it working yet.

Yeah, I realized there were a few processes, but with 3 tabs open, it was consuming 16MB, 10MB, and 12MB so total of 38MB not bad.

seems to work for me with exception of mouse pad scroll

will scroll down but not up

very frustrating

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.

incognito mode.

It imported my bookmarks and settings just fine but I didn't try it right after install with the prompt, I imported them through the link in the controls.

The loading time on gmail is amazing. It's faster than firefox 3.1. I kinda expected that though. I can only scroll down with my touchpad, not up. That's a pretty annoying bug.

Finally got sunspider running....or not.

Man, it's unbelievable that people are bitching about a "BETA" product. That is the biggest reason I hate writing software - the ******* clients.

It's running really nicely for me in a VM on Vista.

[Bubbabyte]

how did you find the incognito mode? Also, i looked through everything and can't find a plugin section.. i'm hoping an adblock plugin will be released soon, then this thing will be gold.

[maplecookie Veteran]

incognito mode.

Okay, totally didn't see that before. THAT is brilliant!

It's in the pull down for "Control Current Page"...at least that's where I found it. Maybe somewhere else also?

Okay so I can't be assed reading this whole topic...

Will this browser support addons like Firefox?

I was going to say. This is public release number 1 - it's pretty damn impressive in that context quite frankly!

You mean you think Google, who advertise heavily on the net with AdWords will release an ad-blocker? Hah...

[Si Veteran]

Works great, looks awesome on Vista.

Thumbs up. (Y)

So anyone know how to update the WebKit or is that built in and we must wait for Google to update that?

Installed and imported all my FF bookmarks fine on my Vista desktop through RDC. Wasn't sure if it was just RDC or Chrome, but it did seem a bit on the slow side. Other than that, I like it a lot.

[tsupersonic]

Heck it looks good on XP. Just missing Adblock :(

[magik]

... still can't download at work. :(

Type in about:memory in the url bar. :o

And shift+esc for the task manager.
