Give it a try and tell me what you think. So far the only thing I can say is it renders pages faster than anything else I've used. Incognito windows are ... interesting ...

Oh shazbot, I <3 the download bar. No flash support makes baby Jesus cry.

 

[Valve1138]

Well, isn't that special.

 

[theacoustician]

Wait, I lied, you just have to trick it into installing Flash.

Go to video.google.com and the plugin will be located and installed properly.

downloading now. glad it's finally available. i've been hammering gears.google.com/chrome all day.

Security breach in 3, 2, ........

Ill have to check it out when I get home

Oh snap, type about:memory in the address bar. That's just f'ing rad. It uses 25% the resources of IE and about 50% of the resources of FF.

No Mac version.

Wow, those guys at Google are frickin geniuses.

Why should they have a Mac version on day 1 of a beta?

they don't have their linux version completed either. it's to be expected with a new product still undergoing testing.

i'm using it.

ummmm... adblock?

I don't think there's anything like that available yet.

This is interesting though. Right click on an image and click "Inspect Element"

sweet. it's just like the firebug extension for firefox. that was going to be the second extension i clamored for.

I like how there's no status bar at the bottom, but that a little one does pop up there when you hover over a link.

Ok, now that you're playing with it, is it just me or is this thing retarded fast?

 

[JAXvillain]

looks ok...I don't see anything that would overtly compel me to switch to it though

i can't tell if it's retarded fast, or if it just feels faster because i expect it to be.

Gee, I dunno.

You tell me.

 

[Sarcasmo]

Google should pretty much just design an OS already.

 

[theacoustician]

Gee, I dunno.

You tell me.

How insightful and mature.

There's no Linux client either, despite Google's Summer of Code being overwhelmingly Linux based projects and Android is Linux based. You don't see me stomping my feet over that, do you? Maybe the Windows version was released first because they know it'll be the hardest one to get stable and therefore needs the most beta time.
