going to check it out tonight!
this post has been archived.
looks like it can't access ølogpinglekaffe.com. only firefox and kazehakase has been able to that so far
pff, another google hype
It's actually good. Their EULA has some hidden problems.
has problems with this textarea. it's under the "click to post" button
Opera has that too ... I've been told it's fixed in the SVN version...

posting anything (via Chrome) to your blog(s), any forum, video site, myspace, itunes, or any other site that might happen to be supporting you, Google can use your work without paying you a dime. This doesn't just apply to blogger, youtube, gmail etc, and if you think it does, re-read section 1.1 and 11. It applies to everything you pass through Chrome. Google can take your submitted content and edit and reuse it all they want, as long as they do so in connection with Chrome.
Wow. Fuck that's crazy.
actually i just heard about this in class recently!
on a similar topic, another browser called avant is supposedly rather good. has anyone tested it?

and carpetsmoker, 1.1 and 11 have been corrected :)
Yes, I read ... Apparently the clauses got there ``by accident'' because the EULA was copied from youtube, if that's true (Which I'm not convinced it is), then it would be pretty damn sloppy.
it's a beta, bro.
textarea problem fixed!
Man Yea google chrome had this problem where I could only download like 1k/second from an FTP mirror. It got fixed though :)
and it's broken again
Installed it on my work computer. <3
Fast, minimal (though start-up memory usage is a bit larger than I'd like ... but that's not a terribly big deal), and stable.
I'm loving the per-tab crash status thing. Where if a page freezes up, it only kills the one tab, not the entire browser.

Wow, sounds better than I thought. I'd be using it right now but I love my foxmarks... pretty lame excuse now that I think about it tbh
okay, what plugins do i need.
nevermind... i guess they aren't out yet? :(
i'll need to get used to the lack of middle-click free scrolling.

I stopped using when it started having some serious compatibility issues with a gmail plug-in but it looks like that is fixed.
shit is ugly.
memory usage for gmail, gcal, and ttf:
firefox -- 126MiB
chrome -- 80MiB
that's not as big of a difference as i was expecting.
memory usage for ttf:
firefox -- 46MiB
chrome -- 35Mib

i think it's interesting that chrome runs a base process and an additional process for every webpage you have open.
definitely interesting. intriguing to me, since having a million tabs open and one of them crashing your browser is really annoying. perhaps I will give it more of a chance at work.
ehh the gmail thing is still not fixed. my advise is don't use the offline plug-in if you use chrome. you can't get rid of it and it is buggy.
using this today, even though the blue is ugly. lack of socks proxy support is lame, although it will respect IE's proxy settings. I'm actually using srware iron or whatever because of all that privacy bs, but it's functionally the same thing.
chrome doesn't work in my office, probably because of that proxy thing. ffox and ie work fine
nvm, set up privoxy and it works :)
mehhh, don't like chrome all that much. i stopped having performance issues when they upgrade my p4 1gb ram to a c2d with 3gbs ram
what don't you like about it? I'm digging it today. takes up little screen real estate, the tab handling is very smooth, and I like the tabs above the address bar layout.
too used to my ffox layout - my setup uses way less real estate than chrome does.
don't like the colours, the url autofill behavior, the buttons on the chrome (Chrome's chrome), lack of extensions (i use custom adblock filters & flashblock).
i sound pretty whiny, ha

nah, I hear you. I just never get very attached to any firefox extensions for some reason.
the autofill behavior, I wish you could tweak. I don't like the safari-ish auto-completion; I prefer a drop-down list only.
I very much appreciate the ease of setting up custom search keywords in chrome though.

by custom search keywords do you mean quick searches? I haven't had any trouble with mine in firefox (g %s - google, w %s - wikipedia, r %s - rateyourmusic artist, l %s - last.fm artist, that's about it).
yeah, I guess I just like how chrome handles them better, as kind of a separate entity from bookmarks.
true say
uh oh, no "view image" option in context menu (view image in new tab, but none for current tab). this is close to being a browser-killer for me. at least it's not IE where you have to (not anymore? I'm not sure) go to the image properties and copy and paste the image URL from the properties dialog.
also no starting a text search by pressing forward slash. wicked lame.
it's the little things that count
chrome is telling me that practically everything has a revoked server certificate. maybe it is true but i want to tell it that i trust some sites. for example ttf.
Iron just totally ate shit on the Facebook album upload pictures page. end processed on the tab, and now the rest of my Iron tabs are fucked too. great.
haha
ftw?
ftw?
I'm using Chrome and digging it. feels quicker than Firefox, and I really really really like the tabs above the address bar.
After I installed Opera 10 I put the tab-bar on the left side of my screen.
It might sound odd, but on a widescreen you have horizontal space to spare and not so much vertical space. After getting used to it for 15 minutes it works great for me.
For example ttf only uses ~30-40% of my horizontal screen space, and any given thread may use anywhere from 100% to 2000% of my vertical screen space.

ttf is a bit of an odd website, though. a lot of websites use a lot more horizontal space. facebook is a good example.
at the library, they have some widescreen lcd monitors rotated 90°. i like that idea for documents and ttf.

I have a 1680x1050 screen. *more* than wide enough for any webpage.
Total width of my browser is now ~1300 pixels, still more than wide enough for any webpage.

I like that too, maybe I will try it with my second screen (Turning my laptop screen 90° will be more difficult)

Friend of mine's stepmom is an indexer and she has a two monitor set up, one of the monitors is set up like that--with a widescreen rotated 90 degrees. I'm so jealous of it. So much nicer...
*sigh* I miss Google Chrome. One of the nicer things about Windows.

just for you mac users: a developer release of chrome for mac!

I've just installed chromium for the first time... Now I know how slow Firefox is...
yeah, I still use this at work over Firefox. Firefox is pretty slow on OpenBSD, which can partly be blamed on OpenBSD, but I've been thinking about trying Midori.
I'm on chrome. I hope greasemetal works well, I haven't decided to install it yet to test it.
does anyone know the trick to getting chrome to open pdfs with the web based google pdf viewer?
i saw there was a way with chrome os with '--enable-viewer'. ideas?

I use gv even in windows.
Just installed it on ubuntu. Thing is fast. But I don't like the blue border around active text boxes and clicked links.
I use xpdf. Seems faster than gv.
Can anyone get adblock to work in chromium? It doesn't seem to block anything here...
thats pretty badass. now the only keeping me from fully switching from firefox is the lack of a browser FTP program. really, fireFTP is the only thing keeping me with firefox.
I have had rendering problems with xpdf in the past, that gv has not failed at.
I have been using this on OS X since the developer release and it's been great. can't wait for extension support.
they made the address bar text smaller in chrome 6 and I hate it :(. I liked how it was kind of big before.
switched all windows systems i use and family systems that are windows to gsview for pdf viewing.
no adobe exploits in mah pdfs gaiz.

themes were bothering me so I made one to blend in with windows classic a bit better.
