Hi all, many of You may have view the new download link on the Google home page. I just though this was an upgrade for Gmail or what ever, then after my normal work I did the experiment and downloaded the new Browser and
installed it on my Windows machine. Well it didn't bored me, instead I started filling Favorites and test my own Sites. Wow- every think worked fine. It's at his on Version 0.2.149.27 but I think here is coming a new revolution!

It may be that MS, Safari, FF got a new Competitor!

Google Chrome is an open source product, are you talking about the right to use the google product name in domain name! or content!

I'm talking about the terms and conditions that Google require you as an end user to agree to so that you can download and install the product. http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html - might be open source, you can get the source code and contribute it, but that does not stop Google imposing a end user license agreement on you.

One day later and the objectionable clauses have been removed... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/04/google_retracts_lousy_chrome_eul...

I'll be trying it out as soon as the linux version is available.

I seriously doubt that it's a competitor for Safari browser, Safari still puts any browser on the market to shame including the famous slow as a snail firefox

The speed issue may be true (lord knows i have to restart firefox multiple times a day to speed it back up) but i have yet to see anything that even approaches the power and convenience of firefox + firebug for developing and/or deconstructing websites.

That may be true about the useful web tools in fireslow, I have yet to have a need to use firefox for web developing and I design websites, I use coda to edit files and tweak the stylesheet, its easy, never had to use firebug or any of the web tools, some of the tools I think are overkill. The lack of performance is not worth it to use the web toolbar.

omg firebug is so not web toolbar, lol. If you've ever seen a site and wondered "how did they do that" i've never found any tool but firebug (which unfortunately, afaik, is limited to firefox) that can answer that question with a couple of clicks. The same thing goes for trying to troubleshoot javascript and/or css issues realtime.

I agree with you fully, but the start of "Chrone" looks not badly. I think that the strategy of Google start now with a new Browser because the development of WEB2 & WEB3 is boosting and a lot of merit about this is to give to the open source and sooner or later we will see a really strong revolution in the field of Browser Market. I too see Safari as the best one, not only as a Mac user but also on the Windows platform.

Safari is built on top of the Linux-based KHTML rendering engine, which Apple picked up and repackaged as Webkit.

Chrome is based on the same rendering engine. However, it uses an all-new Javascript engine that Google claims is faster than anything else currently available. Since Gmail and Google Docs rely heavily on Javascript performance, this is significant for those applications. For most Web pages, it's irrelevant.

In addition, Chrome restructures the application so that tabs run as separate processes. This protects against one tab's Javascript eating CPU and interfering with other tabs. However, there is a tradeoff: Chrome eats memory like mad.

All of these differences represent tradeoffs. Personally, I find Firefox to fit my needs best, with its combination of base performance and extensions. I'm not even tempted to use Safari, and I spend my workday on a Mac. But your mileage may vary.

HI All, very interesting comments here. In Austria the Google Browser Chrome release was announced also in the Main Austrian TV Broadcasting evening News.

As I have yesterday spend some time to see how "Chrome" deal with overall default usage have to say that as of any main Browser-launch they focus principally on discover how and what the User have in his cache data.

Despite the fact that it's really fast it does a lot of caching and there is no way to control what else will be send as information to the "Big Brother".

So I decided to de-install and went back to my favorite "Safari" and sometime use also "FF3" but that have also the problem of intensive caching and in & out data flow that you do not have control over.

What I appreciate most of SAFARI is that is really the only one you have the possibility to have control about his configuration and services because you can open any .plist files with an editor and check how it works and if you have some programming experience you may modify.

Bye ;-)
