Google's browser

Not really.

But the guy who posted the blog looks a bit like Monte.

i just read about this and came on netphoria to see if anyone was talking about it.

i think i will give it a shoot, but i have come to like firefox very much

yeah whats great about this? i kind of skimmed it but nothing stood out. what makes this browser a contender?

i am not sure FN

it kind of reminded me of the many versions (flavors) of Linux when i read
We've used components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox,

no, I'm more pumped about redbull sticking fingers in bitches and walking them around the room like a wheelbarrow.

kind of reminds me of a Pokemon ball :erm:

I'm pumped.

Pokemon and Simon Says have join forces for CHROME

so this is the "cartoon drawing" of the browser. the location of the tabs look to be in an inconvenient spot. but I guess they are trying to be different.

i like this idea. the browser will have its own task manager.

This is the first I have heard of it. I'll probably try it and then go back to what I always use.

which is????

So is this available for download somewhere yet or do we have to wait until tomorrow?

Firefox. And I only started using that because Internet Explorer kept freezing on me.

Monte made the comic:

http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/images/16.jpg

I see a few features lifted straight from the other main browsers in Chrome.

Multi-processing is the real selling point, and that private tab is a great idea too.

i was surprised how in depth the webcomic was.

i agree using multiple processes should help a lot. most of the time my browser is the main app open on my PC anyway. i'm interested to know how they made precise garbage collection faster than automatic garbage management.

i'm not won over by the full-text search context in the url bar, nor the putting the tabs at the very top (really, who cares? and i already have my faves and plugin toolbars in between my url bar and tabs anyway).

interesting that they went with webkit for the rendering engine.

private tab is cool altho the distrust plugin for firefox does that already. nice to have it a built in feature tho.

Wah wah wah. Another over-hyped browser no-one really needs.

We've even outsourced Monte now? This country is really on a downhill slide.

Go: http://www.google.com/chrome

Connecting you to IT*.

I like its simplicity. Wish it had addons.

Its available for download now.

I've only used it for a few minutes but it feels fast, loads pages faster then Firefox or IE, very simplistic and not bloated.

Does it block ads, aka AdBlock+?

It will block the popups and full page ads but normal ads are still displayed.

Tried it, I already uninstalled it. Fast as shit but I refuse to use any browser that massively changes the UI for no reason.

Fuck #2.

Bwa ha ha ha, I knew it'd be balls and it is! Take that, Google fanboys.

i'm using it now and it's fast as shit but once i open a bunch of tabs all the processes add up to a bit too much memory usage. i'm gonna keep trying it out though and see how it works with my regular usage

i liked it until i opened nethphoria. wheres the adblock plugin for this

Where's the "Home" button?

this was my 1st question when i opened chrome. glad i found the feature that enables it.

i must admit things do seem to move faster in chrome so far. i am rather impressed at that

netphoria is the slowest page to load on my normal usage and yet it takes care of it like nobodies business.

this is fucking typical of google. picasa has the same sort of shit. they're always saying how open-source and community friendly they are but at the same time they'll own you and everything you've ever clicked and typed.

oh well. i'll just install it at work, i only do work shit on there anyway.

not having the the little search engine bar on the right is kind of stupid

along with not being able to right click and chose refresh

Did you miss the part where the address bar IS the search engine bar?

i am talking about multi search bars...

like for wiki and youtube, etc.

who refreshes using right click? i'm a ctrl+r kinda gal myself.

i'm liking it. simple. i don't use all the other shit i had in firefox.

no, I'm more pumped about redbull sticking fingers in bitches and walking them around the room like a wheelbarrow.

right click the search bar and you can add engines to your searching or whatnot. that might help? i dunno, i never used or liked those extra bars

It already has those searches but it defaults to google

i have my hand on the mouse already so right click and "reload" is very convient

F5 is obviously the superior method of refreshment.

anyway i went back to firefox when i realized i couldn't use the stumbleupon toolbar

once again requires me to readjust my my hand.. i find it easiest with the mouse personally.

but i am sure Google will customize it a little more in future betas.

POWERade Arctic Shatter is obviously the superior method of refreshment.

or mouse gestures. anybody?

Did you read the comic or any of its feature sets?

Start typing the site in the omnibar (example: 'a' for amazon.com), hit tab, type your search term and hit enter. Easy.

It's supposed to work with any site that has a search option.

Gal and all.

I've been using Safari for years, I don't need Gears integration, other than that its going to be practically the same... unless there is some wicked GMail integration.

Man who cares it's all the same internet. I am one for equality

Integration now, segregation never!

Looks like they're fixing it, now that they've gotten called out:
