[Alex Strand]

Today, Google has release "Chrome". A new web browser designed to be fast and simple.




Google it :gyroidtongue:

Chrome sounds like a crazy mix between Firefox and Opera.

Hmm trying it out now, it is at least as fast as firefox, may be faster...

it is simplified...not bad.

It's called internet for idiots.

I can't stand it to tell the truth. WAY to simplified. I suppose it's good for people that only use the interenet every once and awhile, but we'll se what happens.

i haven't tried it yet

is it any good? i'm assuming it's better than IE but worse than firefox

 

[Sporge27]

Really I am going to just stick with fire fox, seems to load video faster somehow... although pages like google a hair slower.

Honestly there isn't a lot that it does that firefox doesn't do, and I like my plugins like foxy tunes, so I don't have to change windows to change a song.

I did like how they merged the search/address bar, and it looks sleek, to be expected. I would say definately better than IE, but I still think firefox tops.

Had to try it out though, and while I am not impressed, I can't say it really lacks anything, it just is.

It's very fast, but it's simplified and you cant view flash or videos, etc. This is just a beta so I'm sure the real version will be better. I'm still using IE7 (not IE8 beta because I have it on a different computer and I prefer 7).

Chrome is meant to be a platform for web applications, it's not just a simplified browser.

It uses a modified version of Webkit to render Javascript much faster, and enables Javascript applications to be multi-threaded.
