| Might be interesting to try out. On a related note, is anyone using Safari for Windows, now that it's been out a while? |

| Safari for Windows is awful. I'd recommend checking into a mental ward if you use it over Firefox or Opera; hell, even IE. |

| I played with Safari on windoze..... I found it faster then the other browsers ( not sure about FF3 as have not used it in a while). I don't get why Google would get into that sandpit.... presumably for future functions in their other widgets - cause otherwise it's nonsense. |

FF3 seems quite a bit faster than 2. As far as sandpits, I'm sure Google will find some dollars down there.

The browser is to Google what the OS was to Microsoft.
If it can control browser standards, it can build SaaS and other Web 2.0 apps that out perform similar apps on IE, FF, Opera and the like. And in the process build a whole ecosystem around the browser in the same way Microsoft built a whole ecosystem around its OS.
It's either incredibly shrewd, and strategic, and far sighted allowing Google to monatize the ecosystem ... or it's incredibly stupid to try to compete with MS and Mozilla.
Google needs to become more than a search company if it is to grow. This may be one path and I'd bet on shrewd.
Just my point of view. |

| Might be nice if it is really fully standards compliant like they are saying it will be. Google's a big name, they could get it on a lot of desktops. |

I wonder how much personal and not so personal information this browser will steal parse, acquire from our computers? I'm staying away from this like it was the plague. |

Ok i'm at page 13, how many more pages for this to end? Don't you hate it when you don't know how many pages there are in total and you just keep clicking and hoping the end will arrive...
So far I like the tab thing where if the browser crashes it's only the tab that will close and not the whole browser. Also being able to see which site is hogging your comp's memory is a nice feature.
38 pages in all. Sorry Google, I have a life. lol |

Yeah but if it gets any real numbers then it's another flavour for us poor developers..... "Standards Compliant" is all in the eye of the beholder (and also which version of the std you mean)..... cause they all claim that to some degree or other.

I just put it on both my desktop and laptop. Seems to work just as the little comic book advertised. So far I'm really liking it - much simpler interface than IE7, cleaner, seems to work better. And so far it hasn't crashed, which IE7 likes to do at least once a week, so that's a plus!
Unless I find something awful about it, I'm sticking with it.

| Seems to be really quick compared to FF3. I will definitely give it a fair shot against replacing FireFox for the long term. |

Chrome is working great so far. Couple of little quirks, but nothing that interferes with usage. It is quicker because each tab is a separate thread, as opposed to all tabs in a single thread. Which also means that if one tab crashes, the rest continue on.
One nice feature, at least for me, is that it spell checks as you go. |

FF has that too, in any language, almost. |

So far, Chrome seems a little more stable, at least on my machine.

I checked it out, but I couldn't figure out how to drag and drop images from the browser into CS3. You guys have any trouble with that?
It was screaming fast and really pretty, but doing image stuff here at DPC was a ginormous pain so I gave it up and went back to my old browser. |
