Thumbs up Google Chrome

I just downloaded Google Chrome and it looks pretty nice. After using it for about ten minutes, my first reactions are it's pretty fast and stable and I can use all the sites I normally use. Have any of you tried it yet?

By the way, Chrome is a new browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer. You can read some more about it here.

Thanks for the explanation, you saved me a Gemma question.
I use Firefox and in my current state of total exhaustion I don't feel up to new experiments. But I'll keep it in mind for future reference.

I'm using Firefox as well, but I will definitely give Chrome a chance - when it comes out for Linux.

It sounds good (I especially like the fact that they have splitted tabs up in separate processes, so that one tab can crash, but not the rest), but I doubt it will make it. They really have to come up with something extraordinary, so that it not just become yet another browser.

I installed it on my school laptop today to try it out. It does have some nice features, also non-technical ones, which users actually notice. I'm especially glad for the address-bar. As you type it comes up with suggestions to old websites you have visited, your bookmarks, and it also automatically suggest Google searches for you.

The biggest minus I noticed was its look. It's quite fancy with lots of graphics, like most users like nowadays, but I really wasn't my cup of tea.

For now I will stick to Firefox, and when a stable realease of Chrome comes out, I will give it another chance.

I'm interested in seeing how their v8 Javascript engine performs. From my tests, it's a *lot* faster than FX, IE and Opera. Test for yourself here: http://wd-testnet.world-direct.at/mo...jsTimeTest.htm

Haha, all the Danish tech-guys are so proud, because it was the Danish department of Google which developed the V8-engine.

I'm not much into Javascript, so I can't say whether it actually is better or not. I would love to try the test you linked to, but unfortunately, I don't have access to my school laptop, and I only run Linux at home.

Here's my Javascript performance results on a laptop with a modest processor and 1 gig of memory.
