It's extremly easy for your system It's using only 9 mb of RAM for me, just opened it to be fair though

Edit: Pretty fast too.

Simple & light, ideal for laptops. On my home PC I'm sticking with Opera though B)

And no ad block But there seems to be a spell checker! Only for English in the current version..

[ssiscool]

"looks good but i feel it's google corp trying to run most things with the net. Youtube, Search and now web ect."

[deadpool89]

[Is0tope]

works pretty good, faster than IE by 100x and quicker than Firefox too! It knows your shit from firefox cause it takes it upon install from firefox. The tabs work great like the design

I'll wait until maybe a Gamma version since I am very satisfied with Firefox at the moment.

[gunsguy]

this version works very fast, its clean and great many good features in fact, like it over firefox myself, but I cant wait for some addons..

Its very good, but like Safari - is nowhere near as solid as it should be.

[estranged 16]

just installed it. its really good but i still have firefox

no one in my family likes firefox so they'll have chrome. its much better than IE

[Leisure Rules]

chrome>=firefox>IE

[Black Sabbath]

Looks like it's pretty good. I'll download it soon.

[feconroses]

Love it! Its faster, easier and more friendly use, nice design. I'm having problems with facebook though.

And for those who whine about google and privacy issues: i dont care if google have all of my information if they offer excellent products and if i trust them.

it lacks allot of Firefox Options...No add-ons...basically it is Firefox with less annoyance...lol

Nothing beats Firefox.

this is way better with tabs, say you have 4 tabs up and mygn is the first one in the line, you click a link on the mygnr page and it opens in a new tab beside the first one, not way over past all 4!

I love it so far

It's awesome! The only thing I wish I could figure out is how to get the web page text how I want it. I tried messing with the text tools but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, when I'm viewing the forum, between each members post, there is a bigger black gap. Probably about twice the size it was when I used Internet Explorer. Anyone know how to fix that?

Other than those two things, I think I found myself a new permanent web browser!

[Black Sabbath]

How do you select something and then print it as well? I can't seem to highlight something, then just right click, 'cos when I do that, only like three options come up, and print isn't on of them...

[Turn_It_Up]

Chrome is awesome...and remember this is only version 1.0. Many new features to be added soon.

Once again shows it's really not too hard to out-innovate Microsoft, is it?

selected text or the whole page?

and btw, im thinking of completely removing internet explorer off my computer, but when i went to click and delete it it said "removing internet explorer will cause some programs to not work correctly, remove anyway?"

should i still remove it? i dont have any special programs or anything that go with internet explorer so im thinking it doesnt really mean anything for me

Also fat chance they support ad block, with all the money they make off google ads. Javascript execution is excellent though, and it uses resources more efficiently than other browsers.

Incognito mode also apparently broadcasts IP, it's a phoney from what I hear. I'll stick to my tor button kthxbai
