Google released the new internet browser yesterday. I'm currently writing this post with it and I think I could get used to it. The tabs are awesome and it seems pretty fast. anyone else tried it out yet? I just may replace firefox afterall

Tried it yesterday. Pretty impressive with the tabs having their own processes.

Too many bugs at this point still though. Crashes a lot.

Firefox seems to have enough tabs for me.

It's nice.. works well.. but there's still quite a few features FF has over this that just can't make me go for the switch. (adblock being a major one)

Tor only works with IE and FireFox I think. That's one of things I use for anonymity.

The EULA is evil...Read it all the way through.
The browser code is open source though, so many 3rd party "unofficial" chrome based browsers will come out. Its some very cool tech, and will be nice indeed.
I cant wait to run it on Linux soon, when an official Linux version comes out.

Firefox 3 is heavy, slow and annoying. I downgraded back to 2. So, I might check this out.

You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.

Chrome uses the same open webkit as safari... The rendering engine is basically the same..

I used it for a little bit yesterday. It's very fast, but too buggy ATM. Plus I couldn't figure out how to get that minisearch bar in the upper right hand corner than most other browsers have now.

I played with it a little while yesterday.

It is fast but I don’t really like the layout with the bookmarks a crossed the top and the stupid most viewed thumbnails. Not to bad for version 1.0 though I like anything that will give Microsoft some competition.

yea i wondered that too, but it turns out to google things you just type it into the adress bar. kind of nifty really, the address and google bar in one package.
