Google Chrome

[jiminski]

i would be very interested in people sharing their experences with google chrome...

not good... i think it may be a little top-heavy.. and or they need to get compatibility fixed .. In short, it is not good for streaming artistic Internet videos. It is very jerky, completely ruining the visual experience.

and that even though they built in a special mode just for watching porn?

I don't know what you are implying! I was watching a particularly enlightening documentary on Kandinsky! (Dinkiminki Kandinsky.. she is a genius!)

anyway, i suppose it may be that firewall and security updates have not yet caught up.. but it is not working well enough to use at this point.

I just get the Aw snap error message every time

yeap, stops starts, tries to buffer and then freezes completely with the error message. eventually you have to shut it down... very bad planning from such smart and wealthy kids.

Not used it much yet but already back on IE. Doesn't have the little scrolling thingy you get usually when you click the mouse wheel. For CC maps, especially as i use large size, that is a definate no.

Maybe it'll be updated though.

i am sure it will be updated.. but with billions of dollars to work with and a good deal of technical knowledge, it amazes me how they still cocked up the launch!

I thought betas had to be functional....

I suppose we are having different experiences then. I haven't used Firefox since I installed Chrome.

I wish. Maybe then I'd have some cash.

Right now I'm liking it. Its a little difficult to figure out at first, but with time it will become easier. Adding more tabs is much easier.....just getting the page you want is taking longer because I have yet to master how to access my bookmarks quicker than firefox.

Firefox is still my favorite, but from the looks of it chrome might change that.

Creepy EULA, and Google says they will be changing it, but it gives Google a nonexclusive right to display and distribute every bit of content transmitted through the browser. I'm a little paranoid about stuff like that, but then, I'm a little paranoid about everything. I always feel like somebody somewhere is recording my keystrokes, no matter how much anti-malware stuff I use.

Oh, well I think it's a great idea.

I can't wait to use it. I was a beta tester on gmail, and I love their program. Google can be the new Microsoft, for all I care. Plus, they're open-source, which, from the outset, subverts the kind of corporate espionage upon which Microsoft made it's fortune.

We (anyone with a gmail account) are all beta testers of gmail, go have a look now it is still in beta, and always will be. Google never finish software. Its like a big joke, everything they do they play with it till the team gets bored and wants to try somethign else and release it with the beta tag so they can avoid any comeback for releasing an unfinished product, and every cupcake out there sups it and spouts open source rhetoric about how Googles half baked cake is so great. Well not me.

Google does good searching. Well OK, let me rephrase that. Google has invested masses of time and money into ensuring thetop X results are the most relevant to the most people. This is a great thing and "I'm feeling lucky" works 90% of the time, brilliant, but as someone pointed out somewhere get past page 2 and its laughable. Start a new website competing in an existing market and you'll get nada help from the big G, unless you pay of course, which still won't really help.

So Google chrome. Balls. Its just Firefox rebranded more or less. Notice the "Its all open source so others can learn from what we did like we learnt from _____" Oh yeah from Mozilla, sure. FF3 has its own problems, the ridiculously aggresive caching for one, but its true open source, not we develop it and here you can look at the source Google style open source, so the updates come thick and fast and the software gets better and better rather than reaching a beta level and then stagnating while the 'Chrome' team go and do Google Bearings BETA (of course) or whatever the next toy is.

Search with Google, enjoy the topical changes to the logo image, and use decent software to do it instaed of lauding Google's permabeta model. It sucks.
