Hey Everyone!!



I don't know if you were abreast of this but , Google is coming out with a

Browser. Google says that it will not interfere with the present lot of browsers

but, considering that they are using the parts of Apple's "WebKit" along with

some of the open source from Mozilla Firefox and others. The site was supposed

to launch today but , as of now I still can't get in. So, want to know more?

Check it out @ Ask Woody.com . and @

Google Blogoscoped.com .

I'm on it right now its a pretty cool browser if I say so far.

I suggest people to read Google Chrome's book in order to get familiar with it.

Chrome doesnt even have a home page key. Youtube so far works fine. Browsing is fine too

[Flashorn]

Hey LIL!!



If you mean a Home Page icon well, that might be cause they are

Google and that's where you do your search from. I'm just about

to install and will be able to tell you more later.

Thankx for posting LIL.

There is no "home" key check out the book link I sent it explains a lot. When you open a new tab it has something similar to operas speed dial where it takes the most visited pages and displays them for your easy click. It also has most searched terms on the side along with recently closed stuff you can even drag things to a little bar there for your bookmarks its pretty convenient.

Havent yet tried this but i m currently on IE8 beta2 . This thing has some very cool new features. The group coloring of similar tabs is pretty neat and useful.

[lilxkid24]

i tried ie8 beta i see no difference from ie7 besides a bit smaller tab thing. Its just to fail as much as ie7.

Didn't you see the InPrivate browsing , didnt you see the smart screen filter ? What about the Web slices and suggested sites feature ? And did you miss the domain names in bold in address bar ? And how can you miss the accelerators and developer tools ? Not to mention the IE loading time. Its so much different from IE7 .

[Flashorn]

Piyush !!

How the heck are you? It's been a long time. Miss your presence on here.

OK, first impressions. This is a very fast browser. I like the fact that there seems to be allot more space.
It is Airy, don't feel as though you are looking at a box. OH! BTW , there is a Home Icon. It's under the
Tools tab "Wrench". . This is Firefox , Opera and Flock all rolled up in to one.
Chrome has a bit of everything. you get used to it very fast . All you need is at your finger tips.Also like
the fact that when you Bookmark a page , it goes directly to your "Bookmarks bar" . This is the option
I like the most in Firefox and in Opera it's the Tabbed window page. In flock well, If I were a peoples person
I guess I would like all of the people places you can visit incorporated in one browser. Oh yeah, Chrome
has Flock's color. This is the only turn off so far.Will keep on investigating.

i see not much of a difference still the same

[AuroraDizon]

The book I posted explains a lot. I like how it sandboxes everything so your whole browser doesn't freeze just because something might. My complaints so far is that google installed some google updater to my system process's on start-up. The convinence of having google as your browser also comes with the sketchy web history. There is a way to surf without it being recorded (they use the same example as they do on the regular google account history - "if you want to buy someone a suprise gift etc." I've notice some things are a little slow, but besides that its exceptionally small and very sleek. I love the tabs and the fluidness of it all. I can pull a tab out and place it in its own window something ive been waiting for FireFox to do for a while, you can also take it back into the window and put it back.



I'll consider switching fulltime when they have a noscript and adblock.

[piyushsingh]

an adblock in a google browser ???? The terms contradict each other. :D

btw - did anyone realize chrome is in beta like most other google services. Chrome is directly pitched against the InPrivate browsing feature in IE8.

[piyushsingh]

Hi Flashorn

Everyone might want to read this - http://www.tgdaily.c...view/39176/108/ . What else was expected from google. I m happy that i dont use any of the google services other than their search engine.

[piyushsingh]

Now , If google can explain this - http://blog.noop.se/...rity-zones.aspx
It install outside of vista security zones. The browser gets a big

NO

Hi all :



Based on the experience of several knowledgeable regular Posters on the Avast Antivirus

Support Forums, they recommend AVOIDING this browser for now ; see :

forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=38486.0 .

[Adama]

You guys, did you read the EULA carefully? By using Chrome you give up your rights to privacy for eternity, because then Google will have the absolute right to use your search habits/history for whatever - and they'll use it however they want to.
h6. Here's the text = "By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services."

[AuroraDizon]

I can't even believe they would try something like that, from what I heard google updated and changed it because people were complaining. It was an article here at pcworld.

Hey Everyone!!





Since I'm the one who started this I may as well post my impressions. First .I must say


that, for a Beta on it's first outing, it has allot going for it. The quickness of the browser


itself, the loading of the pages, the search bar instead of an address bar, the bookmarking


to either the links bar or the "other bookmark" folder, it doen't crash, the tabs bar put in an


interesting place, the thumbnail page and one other interesting option that I haven't seen


in an other browser yet with out an ADD-ON is the protection against landing on a infected


web site. This happened to me last night while doing some research on a particular program.


This is what Chrome displayed when I chose to take a look at this web site:








As you can see , Chrome asked me not to visit this web site because of previous testing


which found to have links to malicious web sites and that by simply visiting those sites you


would get infected. There is a link on this [page explaining what I just said. Here are the details:








Now, for the not so good side of Chrome. It is VERY heavy on resources.I'd say , from what I have


seen in Task Manager, about two to three times as much as Firefox. On the recording of your


searches, I can't find where to ask Google to NOT keep a history of my travels. I have an account with


iGoogle and in History I can un-check where it says to keep a record of my searches.


As far as the EULA goes, sorry Adama but, I have read through the agreement and can't find where it says


what you posted. Unless Canadian EULAs indicate otherwise , it's not there.I was just informed


by the security on my notebook that, the coding for Chrome had changed,so, I guess that I got the


up-date form Goofle changing what people were mad about.





In conclusion , I have to say that , if it were not for the "Mistake" that Google made with the History and


the EULA (which I can't see in mine) this would be a good start to a new browser that was well thought out


before putting out it's Beta. There is still some work to be done obviously but, a good start nonetheless.


I just hope that they comply with the wishes of the masses and rectify these anomalies. We also have


agree that this is still a beta. For those of us who use Sandboxie , if you try and sandbox Chrome , you will
get the same error I did. That is Chrome is too large a file to sandbox. I guess either we use the one built in
Chrome or keep using Firefox or IE.
