Looks like Google is taking on IE and Firefox with Google Chrome. Being released officially sometime today.

Very interesting news because you know it will be awesome.

I've used it for 2 days now and like it so far. Not all the bells and whistles FF has but it will get there I'm sure.

Yeah, it's pretty much unusable.

I`ve been using GC for a few hours and I must say I quite like it. Obviously it`ll be much better once it supports Java etc, but it does seem to be very stable.

Regards Howard :)

Meh - I didn't like it very much - too minimalist with very few customization options for my liking. I think the ultimate browser would be something that offers the end user a wide variety of customizations right out-of-box and definitely be easy on system resources.

What Google Chrome is missing IMO:
• Bookmarks ordering manager to easily order bookmarks
• User customization (ie ability to order toolbar placement)
• Options to import settings from all installed browsers
• No full screen mode?!?!? :-/
• Address bar with option to add separate search
• Feeds integration would be nice for new "streamlined" browsing
• Integration to check Googlemail would be wise (aka integrating Google features)
• Integration to track adsense and other google-only implements (analytics, etc...)
• An optional sidebar to easily access bookmarks, downloads, history, etcetera would be nice
• More options to customize site-specific preferences (ie show images, block popups, etc...)
• Additional options to customize the ugly, blocky & waaay different appearance
• A better way to store website passwords and such whilst keeping browser integrity safe

I do like the speed of browsing - it is quite quick loading pages. The privacy feature is interesting and novel - but seems incomplete... I sort of like the look of the tabs up top - but most will probably hate it LOL --- It's an interesting beta - but there's just so much missing IMO......

I like that Google is taking a chance by introducing the Chrome browser - With a few additions implemented and a wider embracing of user-specific customization - I think it's a possible winner.

Jacquii.

I tried Chrome for a little last night and it seemed to load pages faster. Have to test more.

I have yet to use Google Chrome, however, my friend currently uses it and he thinks that it is great. I think that he sees some problems with the browser, nonetheless, he still continues to use it. I am currently using Mozilla Firefox and I do not plan to switch soon.

Anyone still using Chrome? I heard that they are about to release the third update but without the plugin support that Firefox provides I don't see me changing.

The next Firefox is meant to be improving the performance which seems to be the main benefit of Chrome(?).
