Anyone tried the browser yet?

Not as yet, but am planning on giving it a look.

Related side note: Just started giving IE 8 Beta a go today on a box at work. Not enough usage for a review yet.

Installing [chrome] right now...

as an FYI FireFox 3 is faster than previous versions--it's been out for a couple months already.

Some may not agree....

I'm using it right now and like it. I'm not a power user, I just do basic things with browsers. I do have multiple computers however and having a universal bookmark file is a bonus. I can't believe it doesn't look like I can used Google Bookmarks bar on their own browser! I have to use iGoogle as my homepage and have the Google Bookmarks window there like I did when using Safari.

The other issue I'm having is I can't get sound! YouTube videos, etc...no sound. A search reveals a few others with the problem but hard to find any real solution info so far. I believe, if Google is to be believed about accidentally releasing that introduction comic, Google rushed the release a bit so I expect a steady stream of upgrades.

A few other comments can be found here .

BTW, I see the Chrome spell checker works while typing here, but don't see how to correct the word. Its underlined in red but a right click, etc doesn't bring up a corrected version.

Overall I really like the interface, speed and the features released so far .

Well, for my laptop the sound works fine using Chrome. I did have to just download and install the latest Adobe Flash; I'll have to check that with my desktops. I can see the videos though on the desktops, just not hear them. I can see and hear fine using IE.

The builtin security sounded good to me. But when I tried to download it, no download. Their download webpage checks your Win version and blocks the download if it's not compatible. My box is on Win2000. So I will have to cobble up a direct internet connect for my Vista laptop just to perform the download. Someday.

Have I mentioned yet that I hate progress?

Anyone here actually ever read EULAs (End User License Agreement)?

Makes for some interesting reading.

Google says they are going to change it, but as of yesterday it was still reading like this...



Say what?

No thanks!

OK. The above quote was from Section 11. It now reads...



Why golly! Thanks ever so much. I sure am glad that I am not giving away all rights to my intellectual property just because I might have viewed it in Google's Browser.

What a relief.

I just downloaded it and so far so good. It certainly has speeded up my page loading.

It's gonna take a bit of getting used to though as I need to find some of the stuff I've lost.

i hope that was humor on their end,
i didn't read that when i downloaded Chrome yesterday, but there were a couple other flip, humorous things on their writeup,
you know those wild and crazy nurds !

Just an update. I ended up uninstalling and then reinstalling Chrome in an attempt to fix the no sound issue. This worked. However, the uninstall is evidently NOT a full uninstall as Chrome magically had the bookmarks I had placed on the bookmark bar when using the previous install. It also magically had my homepage set to iGoogle which is not the default homepage but where I had set my homepage previously.

Just downloaded it and it seems fast! My Komodo firewall is going crazy with requests from Chrome. It wants to read my keyboard directly, search memory and all that.

BINGO!!

You sure you want to let Google do that?


Info any user of Chrome should be interested in.



I've yet to bother checking out Chrome first hand, but will do so some day soon. It dropped way down on the priority list after reading the above.

When I do, it will be with the auto-suggest feature turned OFF.

I've uninstalled it based on what you wrote above.
After the uninstall it fired up my IE and Google had some questions for me. I told them why and all that.

I also told them of a friend who loves having his keystrokes monitored and gave them Admin's IP.

I am pure evil...

I think the Google Search site itself has a query suggestion/ auto fill feature.

When I type something in, it suggests as a pulldown variances on the search of what it thinks I am looking/seaching for...

Seems like the same thing to me...(autofill)

It is also something that can be disabled in preferences.
