Still figuring it out, but it seems pretty cool. It's fast.

[jjgold]

Let me look

If it is google I guess eventually they will blow everyone away

[Bill Dozer]

Yes, seems faster. Maybe they can reach mainstream where Firefox couldn't.

[SlickFazzer]

Looks promising.

[SSLP]

Bill wtf?

[pico]

I love this new browser way faster than IE or fire fox. This is going to be my default browser from now on. espn Loads much faster now.

[InTheHole]

I'll give it a shot... Thanks for thread!

[durito]

I like it.

Much more space on the screen for browsing.

[RogueJuror]

Didn't even knew they were into this. Thanks for the heads up.

The scoreboard shows up for me using the Google Browser. Check your settings.

[durito]

it's got some issues with the dynamic lines page at pinnacle as well

[SSLP]

Just downloaded it , it will take me a bit to get use to it and figure it out overall seems pretty fast

my firefox 2 is too well set up... i won't even try firefox 3, let alone this chrome thingy. google has a lot of road to cover to match firefox. without the same fan base and extension availability, it's just going to be another failed experiment.

[WileOut]

It just came out google says they are still working out the bugs.

[SlappyWhite]

FF2 is where it is at, i upgraded to 3, I like some of the new security features but it is clunky compared to 2.

You may have to re-download adobe flash player.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. They may/may not catch IE for a while, but they will get a good share of the market.

[jjgold]

Not bad Baby

[MrX]

Well I will say it is a surprisingly noticeable speed gain.

[pats3peat]

is it faster than opera? I think opera seems faster than firefox/ie but i always use firefox because its the best. Haven't tried out the google browser, but thats ineresting that the speed is noticeable faster. Google geniuses.

[gummo]

Very fast but seems pretty basic.

[jjgold]

It works with the 10 tabs I use so I am happy and very fast, firefox has more bells and whistles but this is nice.

these assholes kept prompting me to get firefox 3 even though i selected never. i'm sure there was a workaround but will have to adapt

Same here. It's annoying and I don't know how to make it stop short of doing the upgrade.

[englishmike]

Does is automatically transfer favs etc?

[sickler]

Mike, if you're talking about from another browser to google chrome, most likely. Would be very surprised if it didn't.

[englishmike]

Ok, Im giving this a go.

[englishmike]

Just installed it...and uninstalled it. I'm sure it suits some people, I'm too used to Windows IE. When it downloaded my favs it put them in alphabetical order instead of my preffered order which doesn't sound like a big deal but if you've got items within folders on top of many favs I don't see why I should pay with my time to reorganise.

That said, it was pretty fast and a sharp view and I wouldn't put anyone off it, it's just not for me.

[Senator7]

Tried it...uninstalled it.

I'm a FireFox 3 fanboy...

[englishmike]

Yeah, I think one of their main problems will be to get people that are prepared to use something new. Obviously lots of people do, you only have to look at this thread, but for me IE really does suit my limited needs.

[jjgold]

firefox is gettimg too commercial and way too many crashes, I am going to keep goole and keep it real simple when I want speed.

[raydog]

im not extremely happy with having to go in and delete my history after i pull up a porn site. unless someone can tell me how to keep the site link box off the front page, i guess ill stick to ie. how bad of a degen do i look with only gambling and porn sites pulled up on the front page when i start a new tab. wtf.

[PuckOff]

Tried it...uninstalled it.

I'm a FireFox 3 fanboy...

I use Firefox 3, but there is no was to clear the URL's in your address bar. This is something that the Mozilla/Firefox folks need to fix asap.

If anyone has a way to do it then please share.

Yeah Firefox 3 keeps your URL's in the your address bar. This is a PITA since I cannot clear my youporn and other URL's etc.
