I wonder how often Chrome will 'call home' and collect even more data about Google's users. I'm happy with Firefox. I think I'll give Chrome a miss unless it has real, real good add-ons, which I suppose it may have eventually, it being open source and all.

Download available

Download it from here: http://www.google.com/chrome

 

[clevin]

Download it from here: http://www.google.com/chrome

download a small installer and download from internet later during installation? -1 for now!

Yeah, I hate this, there's just no reason to do this.

It won't load a webpage for me...

import IE favs automatically? ...mmmm

Javascript is extremely fast, probably double the speed of tracemonkey and squirrelfish right now. +2 ( real world speed is soso tho)

password notification bar like firefox, +1

[clevin]

[xUKHCx]

mirror or bs.

THe link is not that many posts above. I am personnally watching teh video feed of the release inside Chrome right now.

 

[InSaNeCyAnUr]

No imports from Safari ??

Might be because it's running for now (can't stop, DL a huge file).

Yes, and the link just dies. Hence mirror or bs.

Well some of us managed to download it and if you don't believe what either clevin or I have said then that is up to you but it is not bs. What do we honestly have to gain from lying?

 

[clevin]

I followed the second link http://www.google.com/chrome

UI is somewhat buggy, but sure will be fixed

Animated UI, +2

each chrome has independent session in session manager, each takes 17MB RAM. But now with one window on tab, I saw three sessions....

I think it will stay on my computer along with opera and minefield. Will write a more detailed review later when I get to know more.

Its web-app function is exactly same as prism or safari 4

This link is dying for you: http://www.google.com/chrome ?

Seems to work fine here (from Eastern-MA)

 

[bladehavoc]

The link http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html works perfectly fine for me. Right now I'm installing.

Playing with it now. It certainly seems faster than the newest release of FireFox 3. I haven't encountered any problems so far, although the view options are a bit limited.

I like it a lot because it's a lightweight browser and quite simple. It's meant for simple browsing and it gets the job done. The tabs run separately from each other and its easy to make web apps out of a web page.
