Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Yes, it is faster than firefox, and cleaner looking but...

Where is the home button? - (Fixed: Keep Reading the thread)
No java plugin!!!
Cannot resize webpage, only text (IE7 and FF3 have this feature)
info boxes (when hovering over a link) display in the bottom- very annoying
AwesomeBar kicks Omnibar's a55
No plugins yet...

NO LINUX

But the good parts:
Fast
Nice tab engine
Nice javascript
"Create webapp" button (cool!!)
Gears built in

Weird Parts:
scalable text input boxes (wth, why??)
Underlines wrong spelling, but does not give spelling suggestions on right click...

Edit: Over 90 ppl looking at this thread, lol

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

seems so. only that the scrolling is overly light, tab behavior is downright strange, and i find the addressbar a step back (all compared to firefox).

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Make webapp shortcut thing is cool I did it to itT and it opens it up with no address bar or anything so you get plenty of space for the site. Plus Give a nice desktop icon, and it uses the favicon as the icon.

Edit: here is another plus its not my default browser and it doesn't ask me everytime I open it if I would like to make it my default.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

I think it's a useful feature, especially in forums :-)

Instead of typing in a tiny box in the middle of your big screen, you can enlarge it to better see what you're writing, word-processor-like... I use an extension in FF to the same effect.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Christ, it's a beta :)

EDIT: Of course that doesn't stop IE8 beta 2 to offer you a brand new default browser :D

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

I know but I have like 6 browsers on my PC and no matter how many times I tell some of them not to be default and to stop asking me it seems some of them start asking again sometime.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Mine don't :D Maybe its a linux thing or you reinstall too often ;)

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

thing is that there is javascript already in place, at least on the quick post area...

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Alt-Home (for the builtin home page with the "speed-dial" thing)
...or just put your own home page link in the favourites bar :-)

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Like many of you, I've been playing with Chrome and found it a really soliod first effort for Google. I use Opera 9.5 on ym home desktop and so its kinda neat running these side by side and seeing Google be ever so faster in different operations.

V8 would be great on the IT. Considering how Chrome is built, its not too far a thought see it being literally the OS for a netbook/UMPC/Internet Tablet kinda of device. Its pretty much got the web performance issues nailed down to be a non-issue (unless the site's broken that is).
