New Web Browser from Google

Google just released a new web browser called Chrome. Try it.

It. Is. Fucking. Fast.

It is fucking fast! Cool, thanks DM

You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

Do you have an Apple sticker on your car? Just curious.

I walk/bike/public transport, so no. I'm not one of the apple freaks. I have a PC for a work computer, and it's fine for what I use it for (menial tasks; email and typing shit). I still prefer Mac, but I'm not fanatic about it.

I found that odd too cause google uses macs. They also don't offer googletalk as a standalone app for macs, however ichat is capable of jumping on the jabber protocol so no biggie.

I'm trying chrome at work and home, and I've gotta say, that at work, I don't notice that much of a difference, but my machine here sucks... at home on smoking machine it is pretty nice... and real clean and lean. I like it.

It'll be ready soon for Macs. Chrome is supposed to compete with IE (and Firefox to a lesser extent), and I don't know anyone with a Mac who uses IE.

I don't know anyone with a PC that uses IE. It's all Firefox round here.

No adblock on Chrome, which is a pain. In fact no extensions of any kind.

Fucking fast though.

I just installed Chrome on my work computer, and it's slower than Firefox. A lot slower. I can load two pages in Firefox in the time it takes to fully load one in Chrome, don't know what's up with that.

You guys suck.

Chrome is slower than IE, Chrome is slower than Opera.

Chrome records all webpages you visit (probably along with your IP and such) and sends them to Google Corp, yay! Bet you didn't know that. I skipped reading the EULA as always - bad idea. That's where all the good stuff is. Among other things, Google reserves the right to publish the webpages that you visit, according to that very EULA.
