I love the address bar in chrome. It doubles as a google search, as well as offering site specific searching.

I'm using chrome as my primary browser....I have 2 complaints. One is that when I navigate 'back' it doesn't go to the spot on the previous page I was at, it goes to the top of the page. I really dislike that.

The other less annoying aspect is that when I close a tab, it doesn't go to the tab I was previously on...it goes to the tab adjacent to the one just closed.

I prefer it this way... it's different to safari, safari always opens a new tab a the far right... that's something I hate.
 
Can I read PDFs yet?

I find it particularly annoying that chrome keeps coming out with all these neato-keeno features, but I still cannot view a PDF file.

Fail.
 
Guys, I don't want to sound like a mean person, but I heard that anything you do on google chrome, will stay on their servers for life. I don't have anything to hide, but I wouldn't want chrome to know every word I typed on the location bar,or any URL. Just letting you guys know. My computer/forensics professor taught me this. Besides, probably many of you guys don't really care. Fine by me. All I know is I will wait until google clear this out.

UPDATE: I went to the google privacy section, and here is a tip on how to deselect the "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google" checkbox. http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=96817&hl=en I'm still not sure if this would make any difference, but it's better than nothing.

This is not unique to just the Chrome browser. All searches on Google with any browser is recorded for a period of time. But not for life.
 
Google is Evil

Do they have any partners they don't screw over? Like Johnny Depp movies, I'm sure the products are good, but the motivation is ill conceived.
 
What I hate about Safari is that it seems to have gotten very bloated.

Another issue with safari is the fact that I've uninstalled flash and instead of reducing CPU usage, Safari clocks my CPU at 65%+ when it's looking for flash.

I'm not saying Chrome is better, but it's my default browser for now, and this is coming from a loyal safari user since the day it came out.

I get what your saying. Of course google does keep track of what your search within it. But what I'm talking about is the fact that unlike any other browser that I know of, google chrome tracks every word, URL, and/or word phrase that you type on the address bar. Basically, it will get recorded on their servers. Now that's not cool
 
"...One way to open a new tab is by RIGHT CLICKING a link and..."

WTF!!! They call this a Mac browser and expect people to RIGHT CLICK things to make it work???
 
I really wish Safari, and now Chrome, had better color management like Firefox (ie editable). I have a wide-gamut display for photo/design work and untagged images in Safari/Chrome/anything but FF look overblown and neon. :(

Firefox and Safari do the same thing when you start typing in their Google search box. What's happening is that when you type in Firefox's Google box, Safari's Google box, or Chrome's Omnibar the browsers display suggestions for a search on Google. These suggestions come from Google. And Google records the suggestions requests.

But I understand what you are saying about the address bar. That's because Chrome's address bar and google search box are merged.
 
great browser and keeps getting better, still a few extensions for firefox for webdev stuff i still need. The firebug extension for chrome keeps getting better.

I find that to be a feature. I loathe viewing PDFs in a browser. But to each his own. ;-)

(It should be an option for those of you who do want to do that.)

I want to be able to add more information to my bookmarks like you can in Firefox. I also want the option to be able to control proxy setting separately from the system's settings. Chrome's seemed to be pretty snappy.

I'll update Chrome on my Mac at home and give it a run. Generally, I stick with Safari.

To clear up a bit, in order to improve the suggestions, Google needs to save those search queries in order to do statistic analysis on it, which means every word you type in the address bar or search bar in Firefox/Safari. They won't keep the IP address for those suggestions stuff, what they do keep is search history for each IP address for up to 2 years and wipe them off. Those are not restricted to Google, pretty much every search engine do this. ISP keep records as well.

This is a well-known issue:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13716

Basically they seem to be held up on how exactly to do this within their keep-everything-in-separate-processes model. Previously, they could only get the first page of a PDF to display in-line. Then they changed it to its current download-only state because at least then you could see more than one page. They're working on it, but like the bookmark manager before today, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Instead, you can try this extension, which forwards PDF links to Google's online PDF viewer. Not a perfect solution by any means, but it might help.

Been using the Chromium nightly builds now for some time. It's been my main browser for 3 months and I think it's great.

Extension wise I use Adblock...which works pretty good, but still not as good as it is on Firefox, but it's getting better all the time. I also use the Google Mail and Google Voice checker extensions which are nice. Otherwise, that's it.

Very fast.
