Google Chrome - First Impressions

Google has released its own web browser named "Chrome". Google claims
their new browser combines a minimal design with sophisticated
technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Though its only
out in beta for Windows XP/Vista users , Linux and Mac folks will have
to wait a little longer. I decided to download and install it, I recorded and made a video about using it. take a look at my unbiased review.

Have any of you installed it yet? What are your impressions so far?

Cheers

Re: Google Chrome - First Impressions

I installed Chrome earlier this week and, so far, I love it. It is very clean looking, easy to work with, and provides information to you about your internet usage. The only problem I hit so far was that when using Hotmail, you have to use the older version. Other than that, it is a winner, to me, so far!!

Re: Google Chrome - First Impressions

{color:#0000ff}I downloaded the google chrome and was pretty pleased with it. After installing it, however, I found that my AVG wouldn't work(couldn't even get it to come up). So I uninstalled the google chrome and tried the AVG, and it worked. I wanted to be sure that it was the google chrome doing it, so I installed it again.....same problem...wasn't able to get AVG to respond. Has anyone else had this to happen?{color}
