Has anyone tried the new Google browser Chrome? I am giving it a test drive. I can't find the home button which is no big deal but it appears you have to start a new tab to get to your start page. Another difference, from Firefox, is that chrome runs a separate process for each tab. Maybe this will be more stable. It also runs faster than FF. That's a good thing. It also gives you more viewing area because it doesn't have a title bar or a status bar, that is fixed.
That's my first impression. What's your's?

Ah, great.. another browser. As if web developer's job wasn't hard enough with a dozen of different browsers.
Uh, no - I am not even remotely interested in Google Chrome.

I'll make a guess that Google's browser will be very standards-compliant. I haven't tried it yet. I bet they focused a lot of energy on quickly rendering ajax/ screen events. I think their goal is to make the browser be the interface to their hosted applications, ala thin client computing.

I suspect that Chrome is just FireFox with a fancy skin.....

It is definitely intended to be an application interface when it grows up. That will make Microsoft very happy. This is a serious challenge to the desktop application model. I use Google Apps a little and will be watching for improvements that eliminate the need for the bloated MS Office.
Another useful feature is the [ invalid url ] function.

I have a Mac. Will this help me? I am also not really tech savvy like many of you.

Did anyone read the original EULA that came with Chrome?
It's being removed as most who did read the EULA (all 4 of you!) determined it was too draconian. But basically, it read originally that by using Chrome, you granted Google "a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license" to any and all CONTENT you posted via their browser. That means that any blog entry, anything you ever typed via their web browser, they could commercialize.

I am very impressed with it. It doesn't have everything that IE8 or Firefox has, but it is tons faster and I like the design of it on the whole.
IE8 is a piece of shit.

I've gotten to a point in my life where I'm generally not interested in trying something new unless there's a compelling reason. So far I haven't heard a single reason why I should even look at it. When it does something that I can't already do, or if Opera does something that pisses me off, I'll reconsider.

If FF isn't stable or reasonably fast on your system, I suggest you get a new system. Or, perhaps, reinstall your OS and update all your drivers. I have not had FF crash on me in so long I can't remember the last time. It's rock solid on my system.
As for my opinion of Chrome? No. I'm not touching it. FF is good enough and it works just fine. Google is a good search engine. Firefox is a good browser.
