Google Chrome beta is out now. http://www.google.com/chrome
the below seems to be the ideas they're including in chrome
-tabs
-based on webkit
-more internally secure, stable, and faster than other browsers
-open source browser
-clean simple efficient
lacks
-mini search engine features, seen in firefox.
Tabs are on top and it's based on WebKit. baddood;

Beta's right here.
It's only the beta? I remember seeing some posts on 4chan about it...
Has anybody tried it yet?
It's pretty cool.
I think it's faster than firefox

There's no scroll button click. You can only manually scroll. :(

I am trying to get INTO boyah but it's moving as slow as molasses.
So I do not like it
Also, when you go to uninstall: (http://i38.tinypic.com/ve4tgm.png)

It works fine for me, and I probably have the worst computer on this site

It might be going slow because I am DLing like 10 GB worth of shit.
Oh well, it's only a beta, the real version will probably run smoother.

It is really choppy. When you scroll with the middle mouse scroller thing, it just skips to the part you scrolled to instead of giving you a nice transition like firefox. This angers me.
It's faster than Firefox. I love it. powerofone;

Lacks "bookmark" buttons and "mini search engine" thingy, I don't like.
I like it well enough.
It's pretty cool.
I imagine that the final stage will have much more of everything. Does the beta have any kind of customization?

No, sadly no add-ons yet. Hopefully in the future

Hopefully the final stage won't be so buggy and slow.
I'm beginning to like this browser more and more. powerofone;
Even my mom likes it.

It's slow for you? It's faster than any of my other browsers on both my PC and laptop.
Chromes history said that I went to some porn site I've never heard of yesterday.
And since this came out today that's difficult to do.
so yeah

It was the creator of Chrome using your computer
tip: it automatically imports history and bookmarks from your old browsers.

I would have a lot more entries in there, but ok.
This means my 9 year old sister was looking at porn.

what was the site?
Love it. Dig all the jokes they've hidden in it.
Only thing I don't like is the lack of click scrolling.
i love it except for the fact that there isnt a fucking home button that takes me to my frequented sites!

Options>Basics>Home Page>Show Home button on toolbar
I don't really like it that much...
Maybe I'm spoiled by Opera's speeddial feature in which I have all the sites I basically visit for quick and easy browseing.
But I also found the design of Chrome to be a tad like IE6/Windows XP... Not polished enough for me (I know it's beta).
Some of the features are pretty nice though, such as importing history (although it would only import FF and IE history, no Opera), and the incognito option.
As for the speed, I'll put it this way. On my computer it's slower than my Opera but faster than me FireFox/Internet Explorer.

that's not good
I really don't like it, but hopefully it improves overtime. The things I dislike most about it would be the border, and how it shows the URL... It reminds me of IE 7/8.
It's okay. Tabs are a bit high, but it's okay.
