HAHAHA IE the internets pron browser, rofl. like especially with there new 'privacy mode' LMAO

but yeah Google Chrome is decent load, but to me its not like browsing the web is extreme online gaming or sumn where every ms COUNTS!
in other words i prefer the feel of a browser, such as good ol 2.x Firefox! XD than ones that load slightly faster but skip everything else. Then theres ie that loads like a pig and has jack comfort or feeling to browsing in it lol.

Default Re: Google Chrome? Your next browser?

I'm using it right now, I'm really impressed with the speed but I won't be using it as my default browser until it supports add-ons like adblock and stumble.
It will be great on my mini laptop when there's a linux port.
Very nice minimalist browser.

I love it. The speed is good. And what i really like is the separate threads for each tabs, therefore one tabs crashing will not crash all other tabs

Its new, beta, and only been release for 24 hrs

give it time to mature, and I think we'll see alot of adons and it can rival firefox

I's pretty good for beta, but still imo it doest offer anythin but speed
i'm missing sidebar and hate how it handles bookmarks, also dont like that each tab is a separete process after opening 20 sites it uses more memory than ff
furthermore no ablock, flashgot and other plugins i cant live without makes ff so much better
i'd also like to see a browser that by default arranges tabs in multiple rows

let'sgive it some time and see how it develops

Thank you for this. Microsoft tried with similar EULA, but soon was discovered and changed. I think they borrowed standard contract for CIA employment.

Thats exactly why I didn't download it, they are giving themselves permission to use any personal content they wish.
Think those pics you Emailed were private??? Guess what, Google just decided they wanted them for their new ad campaign.
Surf alot of porn?? Googles new browser based ads surely wouldn't customize them to fit your habits.
