Google Chrome Beta

Hayho, I've just started using the Google Chrome Beta browser. First impressions are that it's quite nice with a plain layout, a little faster at accessing and loading pages and no crashes as yet.

Anyone else been trying it out?

And another thing you may(?)be interested to hear about, http://www.cuil.com/, is a new context based search engine from a google splinter group.

before using Chrome, i would advise anyone to read carefully through the EULA. It is not very nice. It basically says taht anything you post on the net using it, you have no rights to. I really don't think that should ever be a option.

That may well be part of the Licence, but I don't think they'd have a leg to stand on in a court of law if they tried to enforce it as it's completely unreasonable.

The EULA will be changed. Google is already feeling some heat over the whole deal:

Cahnged to FF3 about 2-3 weeks ago from some add-on to IE6 I was using(SlimBrowser...updated to IE7 though to try some poor add-on Mandy recommended[or just found in a Google search?] me of several months ago), but frankly I'm not too satisfied with it, I can't find the damn tab control option to allow me to left-click to open links/favorites in a new tab, instead having to right-click for it.

Maybe someone can shed a light on this problem? Or I'll change to SlimBrowser's IE7 version.

Also, alot of places duplicate pics in several more tabs when I click to view them(including Wiki' so I don't think they have some incompatible code issues like I heard FF-fanboys bitching about).

I'll probably never try Google's browser- I know they'll shove their commercials in there somehow or spy on me, so why bother?

I started using Chrome yesterday just to give it a try. I miss the spellcheck options that Firefox has and if Google doesn't include it rapidly I will head back to FF.

What is this "spell-check" you speak of? I may have to try that...

Use most all of them in various forms except safari (dont own anything from steve jobs country).

IE and Firefox mostly. Loaded Chrome on my more stable machine and it looked a little thin but ok, moved pretty fast, but most new apps do that until you start using them heavier. It imported my bookmarks from IE and Firefox which was handy. Finding the the bookmarks/favorites pulldown wasnt easy right off the bat. It was on the right side of the app which was odd.

Ill use it for a while seem how it goes. I like google as general rule.

Mainly Opera...

Firefox 3 is a pain in the ass so far, full of spyware since i downloaded it...

Firefox.

I downloaded chrome the other day, but it does not do the one thing that firefox does that I like - I turn off the computer with firefox open (with a whole heap of tabs). The next time I turn on, they are all there again.

Chrome doesn't seem to have any advantages yet, but I could be turned

FF3, recently upgraded from lynx. i was stunned to see pictures on this internet thing :p lol

i like FireFox, it does what i want it to, when i want it to. i get very few ads popping up. thing works a treat.

FF3 is a major improvement over 2 but I've found that it uses more memory than Safari. Chrome looks like a total revamp of how to build a broswer from the ground up, it will be interesting to play with when the Mac version comes out.
