Well if you didn't know already. Google has there own browser.   called Google Chrome.  And Minus a few bugs (as it is still considered a beta product) I'm really loving it.  Its Quick, uses about a 1/3 less ram (depending on what site you are on)  It manages processes alot better as well as ram.  it has a very nice fluid design. and does not waste any screen space.

Works with okgamers.com and plasmaburn.net very well.   Only thing I'm noticing that I am not liking is how it handles some Java Applets.  You have to install a Beta release candidate of Java in order for some Java applets to work...   and even then are some issues.  I'm sure they will get worked out soon.    So if you are a fan of Firefox.  Try out chrome.  take a look.

Yeah, tried it out and haven't played with it nearly enough, but I did notice the speed which was nice. Also the strange thing was the lack of a "home" button. All in all it is pretty nice, but still going to have to go with my firefox for now.

i happen to like this alot just for the fact that it literally uses like 5 percent of the memory it takes to run firefox and internet explorer and i need all the ram i can get on this makeshift pc that makes me want to cry at night over all i would rate it about 7/10 i would go into details but its 11 at night and that will just sound wierd me ranting.

Home Button is Off By Default.

Goto Option and the General Tab and there is a Check box in the middle of the screen to be able to enable the Home button and put in your desired homepage.

I would like to try it out, but since my primary PC is a linux box and they have not released a linux version, I will have to pass for now.

Linux is coming.   Should be out soon..  However there is another version called Chromatic that will have Linux next week from what i was reading on the blogs.

I knew they were coming out with one, but I wasn't sure of the time table. I am a web developer so I will give it a try to see how it compares to FF and IE.

Im an avid FF user and have been for quite some time.   and im blown away on how the browser reacts on the PC.  it parses a websites lots faster and FF.  Chrome also has an website Inspector tool that measures how long everything took to load on that site. it can measure how much cpu usage it took, it measures everything.  its a great tool.

It's great and all, but it scrolls too fast. That's all I have to say.

Um no. Google Chrome is fast, but there is no way in the world I am switching over until it gets more/better modifications. I simply said, Im staying loyal to FireFox until Google Chrome becomes mainstream. That isn't negative, it's the truth. Now, unless you are somehow trying to antagonize me, then I won't even bother with it.

First it was Mail, Youtube, then Android, now it's this.

So basically what your saying is you will just flow with whatever is mainstream, and not make your own opinion?

Lol you two need to lighten up.  It's just a browser...and yes, Google will one day rule the earth (see picture of space vehicle with Google logo on side).  Fury has mentioned Chrome several times, but I'm such a lazy bastard that I will probably just head down to his desk and have him demo it for me here at work.

I'm not worried about support, because if it's as sweet as people are saying, that will come in time.  I just don't want to have to do any work lol.
