Google Chrome

Pre-caching, it looks at the domain names in the links and requests a lookup before you click on them so you don't have to wait for the name to resolve before connecting to the server.

Oh I see. Still, I haven't personally noticed a speed difference so my PC / ISP's DNS server must be quick enough already.
 
nice little browser

one feature i like is dragging a tab out of the window makes a whole new browser pop up



it's no adblock plus though, webpages look really dirty through it, with google ads everywhere and flashy banners :spew:

It shouldn't do that :confused:

These forums load in a flash for me in FF2.

Am I the only one who dislikes the white page you get when navigating to a new page in Chrome?

You should try it in FF3 then which is what I use :p it did load in a flash for me in FF2 but evidently something changed.
 
It's the same in Fx3 here, it doesn't reload images it's already got cached :confused:
Sure you haven't disabled the cache somewhere, with the Web Developer extension or something?

Safari does the drag to desktop opens a new window as well, and it'll probably make it into Fx3.1 too.

Edit:
You can see where the icon came from :D

Looks more like Windows to me.

I tried google chrome for about 10 minutes this morning.. I dont think its very user friendly. I hated it, back to firefox!
 
Really liking it so far, a lack of a right click -> Refresh page is a bit annoying but it's not often that I use it tbh.

FF isn't exactly user friendly as it is :p

Well not newbie friendly anyway, took my sister hours to work out how to open a new tab. :p
 
It should be taken into consideration that this is a first release and is BETA.

ps - F5 = refresh.
 
I like chrome, simple clean features, easy, fast and doesn't crash like IE.

and I never bought into the firefox so finally Bye Bye IE


(It appears it also has as spell checker, have just seen it now :) )

Chrome is incredible - I got rid of Firefox. Never thought I'd see the day.

It's MAD fast, scrolling is phenomenally fast, the caching is godlike, I could go on all day. Google pee on me!

The extra processes that open when you open more tabs annoys me even though comparing it to Firefox on the same websites it uses less ram. Kinda like the design though and looks very nice with Aero.
 
Facebook is working perfectly fine here for me, but more people seem to have trouble with it?

Also, how do I bring up the built-in task manager?

Used it last night seems nice and quick and the private gf mode is great.

Just need it to support adblock and greasemonkey and I'll use it more often.

Tried it on a Windows XP machine last night and comes up with a application error and fails to open any websites.

Tried it on a Windows Vista machine and seems to work all right! :D

Working fine on XP here. No crashes at all yet.
