Google Chrome Web Browser – Check it out!

All I’ll say about Google Chrome is this… If Google can do for web browsing what they’ve done for email, I’m in! All the way!

Check out the beta of Google Chrome

    Couldn’t wait to try it out on my mac so I’ve got it running on parallels and so far I love it! I’d even be willing to give some firefox extensions for the speed and light weight nature of Chrome. Hopefully it’ll come out for leopard in not too long

    My only complaint so far is that it does not have any integration with Google Bookmarks.

    The ‘on the fly’ spell check feature should help the middle schoolers in the forums!

    I tried Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 recently…not too impressed. There were pleanty of things that were cool, but too many things that didn’t work. One redeeming function… internet compatability button, if things don’t work in the newer browser just push the button and it pretends to be Internet Explorer 7. I’ll be trying this one out next, always up for something that might be faster and safer, especially when it’s free!

    Ok, I’ll admit that when I heard about Google’s Chrome browser, I was a bit wary. Especially since Mozilla just released the much anticipated Firefox 3. But being the geek that I am, I downloaded it and I love it. It’s simple and much faster than IE or Firefox.

    Loving it so far, the only thing I miss over IE7 is the zoom button, I like to zoom in when watching flash movies or if I’m reading for long periods of time.

    I’m impressed… seems to work really well, and I like the ability to drag a tab out to open a new window

    I have been messing with it for a couple of days now and I love the speed of it. It has rendered nearly every site I went to in a fraction of the time that Firefox3 does.

    I am missing some of my Firefox extensions, adblock plus and the web developer toolbar, but I’m sure that features like these will be available in Chrome.

    I’m looking forward to what Google has in store for us.

    Google Chrome is really fast!

    Now I can sort 200,000 records inside of Browser (Chrome) just in 1 sec. (Faster than Microsoft Excel):
