Matt P. Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have been using the new Google Chrome browser and I have to say the speed of web pages have improved dramatically including this forum. I think I'll dump IE. Here is the free download for anyone not able to find it http://www.google.com/chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox is worlds better then IE.. and doesn't have the interesting EULA like Chrome does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Before you go too far... Here's a review of it.. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20080903/D92V15G80.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2fast Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I tried and like it but will be sticking with FF for now; I'm too addicted to my add-ons and there's not much customizing for Chrome just yet. Nice start for Google though, once it's a little more polished it may be my next browser of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gose Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I didn't really see it do anything more, or in a better way, than FF3. Also, quite a few of our test suites failed when I ran a more thorough test, so I think I'll wait a few more releases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L9X25 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I also heard that Google is very interested in the marketing aspects of the browser. They want to compile information on the user's interests and browsing habits so that they can more accurately target market you for their advertisers. I prefer to be as anonymous as possible. I think I will try out IE8 and see how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means Google not only knows what people are typing, but Google also knows what browser it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satx40 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I can't even try it. I'm still running Win 2K! Maybe it's time for an upgrade. Still, Win2K is solid. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I'll beta test anything (ezwinscore) is when I fire up a guest machine under microsoft virtual pc and try it there. That way, if it fries the guest machine, I don't care and I'll just copy over one file to put everything back the way it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I found out about it today. I loaded it on my work laptop ( A huge no-no BTW ) Seems nice. It also seems faster but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
