Google Chrome

[LeperousDust]

Why do you think used RAM is a bad thing? Do you have another use for it? Unused RAM is wasted RAM. As long as an application frees up RAM when requested by the OS (which they do), then there is no problem with using a lot of memory. Memory is there to be used - to cache things.

Google Chrome's less memory usage just means (1) No "Undo closed tab" function and (2) No fast/instant reloading of a page you visited within your session.

Well they're doing something right because:

(1) It has this built in.

(2) Have you tried reloading refreshing? It's mental, so's the back button, on par with Opera in that field.

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!

It crashed because of Endpoint - See http://groups.google.com/group/goog...ooting/browse_thread/thread/41ef35857180e154/

Can someone tell me: the text under my signature, what size is it showing? I had it set for [ size=0 ] and it all fit under the image with no problem with IE and FF. With Chrome it is showing up huge, so I switched to [ size=1 ] and it seems fine now.

Looks fine in Chrome and Opera.

Can't say I have.

 

[wesley]

well, i noticed the hard drive trashing constantly when use chrome so i used a software called Filemon, very long list of "safebrowse" i dont know what is it but i know it's related to chrome

 

[tolien]

Safebrowse sounds like the Phishing protection. It's probably updating the list of dodgy sites.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Using it now, it's awesomely fast and smooth!

Love the look.. going to become my default browser I think!

 

[DIABLO]

Very nice browser..so fast

 

[Ironic Namesake]

Just heard about this today, seems quite nice - also seems faster than IE/Firefox.

Might have to stick this on my laptop as well

Also looking at the T&C's I can't see them putting an adblocker in any time soon

Does that mean someone couldn't create one for it?

Nope, it's released under GPL so you can do whatever you want with it.

I wonder why you can't cancel the installer. And why, despite telling it not to create shortcuts or run google chrome after installation, it did just that.

**** off.

Heheh

It still didn't uninstall the updater, and there is no way to apart from manual deletion as far as I can tell...

Got to say I'm quite liking this so far, it's clean and simple. My needs are few when it comes to a browser on windows since I do all my work on my mac so this is a perfect fit. I'm used to running nightly firefox builds so I'm doing the same with chrome at the moment since they do several automated builds a day.

 

[Sonea Fifer]

Is it just me or just chrome really not like photobucket - keeps crashing on me

I'm aware it's still beta so i'll persevere !

Nice Browser, might replace Firefox with it.
