Google Chrome

Anyone else using Google's new browser?
I'm enjoying it, feels quick and the minimalism vibe suits me.
Even though it's beta, I've had no problems with it.

I just tried it. It's really quick but I think it looks nasty. Also I really HATE the FF3 style "awesomebar" that every browser seems to have now. All it does is clutter my screen with websites I dont ever want. Thats why I stuck with FF2, maybe if Chrome will have an option to turn it off and use it like FF2 I'll make the change.

I don't have Windows - but iGoogle is awesome and I'm surprised we don't hear more about it.

Our company proxy classifies it as malware so I'm stuck with IE 6 as 7 & firefox fail on the I transt applications

I hear Chrome is excellent on java heavy sites, but the need to do something about that exploit real quick

It sounds good from what i've heard, but ti doesn't have a built in NES  :(

whatever you do don't post any music photos or anything else to the net using it or Google owns a royalty free right to use that material.

Needless to say unless they change this it'll be added to our block list and disalowed apps list at work tomorrow.

Yeah the last thing I want is to give more of my personal information to Google. I hate their search engine and don't trust their Not Evil persona. If i was evil, i'd make sure to reassure people I wasn't at every juncture as well...

i liked this comic series though

As pointed out in the link pretty much everyone tries that 'trick' in their EULAs. Adobe were (still are?) with their on-line services. Most EULAs are full of all kinds of craziness, some of which may not be legal.

I tried it earlier, it has some nice features, from what I've read it's based off opera which would explain the speed

it seems a bit limited in some areas though, the lack of smooth scrolling is a bit annoying, I'm sticking with firefox and 20 or so plugins...

Not everyone, certainly Adobe did with the online cut down photoshop they pushed last year, they changed it damn quick because of the uproar, hopefully Google will do the same as the browser itself seems fairly decent. It's a part of my job to evaluate EULA's and there's some real arse in most of them but not much like this. It just bugs me that companies so nig and pushing the whole, 'were not evil' bollocks can't even proof read a cut and paste job for something as legaly important (certainly in the states) as their EULA  :lol:

Chrome seems to based (atleast in part) on the Apple Safari browser acording to the security advisory

BTW the EULA has been updated so google no longer owns all your material

I was just about to post on the updated EULA beaten to it.
