Hey guys
Check out the Google Browser http://news.cnet.com/Meet-Chrome,-Googles-shiny-new-browser/2009-1032_3-6246210.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody

I am using it as we speak and it is quite faster than IE,FF and Safari.
As far as opera,I would say it is about as fast.
The browser is clean and very clear.
Check it out

Yea, I don't like it, couple people posted it up on another forum I belong too, and I dunno whether its because I'm so used to FF or what, but I like FF way better then any other browser...FF ftw!

I've been test driving chrome for a couple of days now, and I don't have any qualms with it.  It is super-fast.  Waaaay faster than FF or IE7 (or even IE8 if you've seen the benchmarks) on a cold start.  Its clean and simple, which is so different from all the other browsers out there.

I like it.  Kind of a resource hog though.  I like that each tab is its own process, so if one tab crashes the browser still stays up... but the flip side of that is the tax on things like CPU and RAM because each tab is its own process.

It's still a "beta" so we'll see what improvements they make.  At least they fixed that horrible section in the EULA that gives google rights to anything you post/create/upload via chrome.

After giving Chrome a good chance, I'm sticking with FF.  I like the home page of most-visited websites homepage, and it sure is fast, but it still isn't as smooth as FF.  Chrome seemed to have a hard time with some sites I frequent, but was very stable and fast for the majority (I know, it is a beta).

I guess I'm staying with FF because I don't have a real reason to change.  Chrome is nice, but its not enough to take me away from something I think is great.

Did anyone read all the hype over googles EULA?
That was some fun stuff, but basically everything you did in turn would be turned over to google and they would own it.
They have since changed it so they can still take it, but you are retained as the copyright holder.

I tried the Windows version and it is alright.  A good start for Google but they have some ways to go.  I am waiting for the Mac version though since I use that for day to day use.
