Have you guys checked it out yet? What are your guys first opinions on it? I am enjoying it quite a lot.

  • i like it :0 dont get why it is called google Chrome its not chrome
  • nice and simple, now if only the Linux version was out and about.
  • I'm fairly certain it's open source, and on the site some place. In fact -- http://code.google.com/chromium/
  • I've tried it. I'd like for it to be less beta-y before I start using it a lot.
  • It doesn't maximize correctly if you have two screens at different resolutions
  • Yup it is Open source, Krash. The reviews say it's a good browser, and competes with IE and even some Window's office applications, lol.

    But according to some, this new browser cannot outperform IE.

    What do you guys think as far as performance goes? I would download and try it myself, but right now i'm on my college work computer.

    EDIT

    Well i couldn't wait until i got home, so far i like it.

    It's sleak, but simple and clean, true to google.

    I hope my professor doesn't beat my ass, though.

    EDITx2

    I really like the built-in spell check, it's like the FF one, but better.
    Chrome appears to confirm if the URL you've typed into the addressbar is an actual site or not before you even go to the address, is this true, or am i crazeh?
  • IE8 is supposed to be importing some fancy new features also, so, yeah. Even if Chrome does get some new, cool stuff in, it'll have to try extra-hard to out-do the current browser-champion Microsoft.
  • i just downloaded it today and surprise surprise it has a spell check :D
  • Apparently Windows XP x64 and the current build of Chrome don't get along quite well...but the latest build of Chromium works wonderfully.

    That may be part of the DNS pre-fetch option/feature.

    I would attribute that to it still being a beta, and the new kid on the block.


    And, as a side note, the EULA "mishap" was somewhat interesting.


    .::Edit::.
    I stand corrected, Chromium has a few issues that Chrome didn't...
    The one that's most annoying me right now, it doesn't want to handle downloading .doc files!
