So has anyone tried this out yet? When I installed it I got a bunch of registry errors, and then the second time I went back to the feedback page it told me I was a spam bot

It's working perfectly here and is BLAZING fast. It's faster than Opera and Firefox 3 for me.

Aera · Sep 02, 2008, 07:49 PM // 19:49

It looks very interesting, I'll give it a try...when it's out of beta

zwei2stein · Sep 02, 2008, 08:03 PM // 20:03

This is being posted in Chrome, so yeah, it works fine.

mrmango · Sep 02, 2008, 08:13 PM // 20:13

Same as zwei2stein.

I enjoy this for the most part. One thing, importing stuff from Firefox was quick, but then that window froze for 30 seconds. Not a big deal.

Using it right now as well, so far I like it.

Zooooooooooom!

*zips by with chrome*

Aera · Sep 02, 2008, 09:14 PM // 21:14

i was too curious not to try and it's indeed very very fast. the only thing i'm missing are plug-ins like a dictionary etc like in firefox

Taisayacho · Sep 02, 2008, 09:23 PM // 21:23

just downloaded it after seeing this thread.

so far, it's an epic win. hopefully this will be another home-run bat to the face to IE7.
woot.

Diddy bow · Sep 02, 2008, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Trying it now, seems ok

. Its even checking my spelling O_o

Nightow · Sep 02, 2008, 10:51 PM // 22:51

Just installed. Don't see many other differences between this good ol' FF besides speed, color scheme and lack of extensions.

Must investigate further...

EDIT: Where are my RSS feeds? Tried a search using Chrome's Help site but search did not yield results.

Dallcingi · Sep 02, 2008, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Wow very nice so far i like the interface its crisp and clean.
Yeah and it is faster than ff3
it has so many "geeky" things though like "shift esc" and then "stats for nerds"
i gueess its all good though.

JupiterStarWarrior · Sep 03, 2008, 12:05 AM // 00:05

I don't think I'll try it. I mean, why? There are now five major browsers: Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox (which I include that with the other Mozilla-based browsers), and now Chrome. I can actually switch to the Internet Explorer engine if I really need to with IE Tab; and I can easily zoom images with Image Zoom. Can I do that with any other browser free of charge? No.

I won't even be upgrading to Internet Explorer 8 when it's out of Beta. >_<

Akuma · Sep 03, 2008, 02:04 AM // 02:04

posting on chrome!!!

irks: no rss, no proper address bar (THAT POPS DOWN AND GIVES ME LINKS), no inbuilt search (though you can type what you want in the box), tabs at the top lolwut

pros: INCOGNITO

Sora267 · Sep 03, 2008, 02:31 AM // 02:31

I want to try it, but I can't live without my FireFox addons anymore lol.

Here's a good review of the browser for those yet to try it: http://ptech.allthingsd.com/20080902...s-new-browser/

jiggles · Sep 03, 2008, 02:38 AM // 02:38

My tabs are at the top, to load up gwg home page it was quite slow, and there is no way (that i can see) to move my tabs bar. Least it looks good though.

Also, i cant click in my scroll button to go up/down the page. If it werent 3am id start looking for more customibility.

DarkNecrid · Sep 03, 2008, 02:39 AM // 02:39

-no rss = part of it being in beta.
-no proper address bar (THAT POPS DOWN AND GIVES ME LINKS) = um...it does this. It searches your history, bookmarks, etc.
-no inbuilt search (though you can type what you want in the box) = NO SEARCH BUT ITS IN THERE. wut? You can even specify search engines.
-tabs at the top lolwut = convserve space for more webpage room because of how they are designed. More viewing space = good.

EDIT:
^each page takes a bit to load at first. Retry going to the GWG homepage.

jiggles · Sep 03, 2008, 02:52 AM // 02:52

I dont care about saving space, i want to be able to move the bar :S

Daenara · Sep 03, 2008, 03:11 AM // 03:11

It is very fast..

Google are trying to take over the world ! Go Google.

AscalonWarrior · Sep 03, 2008, 06:34 AM // 06:34

Using it atm, it's fast and everything but it needs smooth scrolling (The scroll doesn't show up when I press the middle of the mouse)

+ Apparently it has spell check, while writing this, it underlines the wrongly spelled word with red color, like Microsoft Word. Also when I right click the word, it offers different words just like in Word.
