Google Chrome Browser

I must say, it doesn't use a lot of memory. Currently with 5 tabs open (one using Flash) it is only taking up about 49MB while the same tabs open Firefox uses nearly 110MB.

Only works with Java 6 update 10. Not sure why they decided to support a beta plugin.

Many websites use the Java plug-in. Google Chrome requires Java version 6, update 10. Please note that this is currently a beta version and may be more unstable than some previous version of Java. To download this beta version of Java, visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea.jsp

61/100 on Acid 3 EDIT: 63 in the second try ...

Thought WebKit scored much higher?

I love it!!! This will be in beta forever! :p

[Imran Hussain]

I love it. It looks great, works fast. Just awesome!

Chrome is using an old version of WebKit, which is probably why.

[Sethos]

Ah I see :)

Is there an additional installer with Chrome? chrome_installer.exe http://cache.googlevideo.com/chrome/instal...e_installer.exe installed chrome, but javascript isn't running.

So far it seems to work well. Mobile Me mail works as good as on Firefox 3, Hotmail on the other hand only works in classic mode.

Looking good for a Beta.

Unfortunately by using WebKit, things like ASP2.0 Menu elements come out all wrong :(

Okay, I downloaded the installer from home and loaded it up on my Live Mesh space and installed it at work. Damn, this thing flies! I'm loving it so far ;)

Could be. You probably have to get past the first step in order to get to the next area. If someone could mirror the one installer, that would be a great start.

That single installer by itself doesn't seem to work. I got chrome running, but nothing really works correctly, javascript simply isn't running.

What I want to do is forward cache.googlevideo.com to a local address to bypass the proxy. I'll then setup the same directory structure to see if it attempts to download anything else. I'm not going to install it directly.

one word.

"amazing!"

Worked fine on this machine and three of my virtual machines, even managed to get it to run in Wine :D

Working out how to run it on a Mac now, give me like, another half an hour

As for JavaScript, seams to only affect certain machines, Java and Javascript both work fine here

Cool let me know how that goes.

Vegetunks, yeah I am wondering if that installer requests something else or what. I mean, I can't even load neowin....

[exotoxic]

The logo reminds me of the old windows media player logo :huh:

[sbauer]

Alright. Got it installed. Thanks for the mirror.

I didn't run it directly. I just modified the hosts file to point cache.googlevideo.com to 127.0.0.1 then setup the same folder structure with the exe. The setup then downloaded the local exe and installed it without an issue.

Works well. Just posted this using Chrome.

Nope, seams to work fine...

What OS? Maybe you need to run it as Admin in Vista?

See screenshot, Chrome with Neowin.net loaded with a painfully obvious chrome_installer.exe file on the desktop

[booboo]

I dont like it

/me goes back to firefox

LOL, yeah and setting Chrome as default makes all htm docts etc. look like that as well, which is quite disturbing on the eye!

Always hated how Windows does that.... You could always replace the icon resources with the firefox/IE resources and refresh the icon cache?

[IronSkull]

The speed with which it's opening pages is actually startling me. :p
