I love it. It loads much faster than IE7 as well as the web pages. Screw firefox. Chrome is GRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAT.

I’ve noticed a couple things about Chrome so far. On my desktop and laptop it runs fine (even in vmware running windows on my Ubuntu desktop). But on my wife’s tablet PC it causes some issues. It is all over the map with CPU usage and interrupts the proper function of her stylus at random times for between half a second and about two seconds. I’m really curious about why the CPU time is going everywhere on the tablet PC; it’s especially raunchy on opening tabs or connecting to many sites at once.

I can appreciate the idea of redesigning the browser from the lowest possible layer up to play nicely with new operating system and hardware features, but I can also appreciate the sentiment others have expressed regarding why Google didn’t instead dedicate some of their resources to improving any other free non-Microsoft products available (Firefox etc). I would like a text-only config file that I could play with and really tweak the crap out of it.

Has anyone noticed how smooth the graphics are? I actually hate to say it but it reminds me of a Mac — those Apple people dedicate way too much time (and CPU time) to displaying extraordinarily smooth animations and mouse cursor movements and the such and it’s a very nice touch.

Why don’t they have put all their efforts on Firefox instead ?

I didn’t like this kind of thinking :

“we want to get over the market so why not doing what others have done instead of helping them to do it better”.

didn’t i read somewhere that Crome was having the

exact same problems that an older safari had…

hummm you don’t suppose that they are actually

using old code and then trying to build it up

I actually used it for a whole 2 minutes and went

right back to firefox. the interface of Crome is

just to slow for me, I can understand how to use IE,

Firefox and Safari but Crome’s interface is so

different and supposidly “intuitive” i would have

expected it to come from apple not google

here's the comic google made to explain the design ideals
before you whine about how simple it is, READ it
it's a complete ground up technology redesign of the entire browser concept
the priority at this point is to get it rock solid stable, so the entire point is to be SIMPLE
the core, and only the core things needed for it to work as a browser.
i'm sure functionality and addons will come later

if it helps, think of it similiarly to KDE 4.0 - a dev release with proper end-user one coming later

"We are so, so happy with Google Chrome," mumbled Mozilla CEO John Lilly through gritted teeth. "That most of our income is from Google has no bearing on me making this statement." - http://notnews.today.com/?p=57

First impressions:
-Nice minimalistic controls
-Where the hell ARE all the controls?!
-Customisation = nonexistant
-Holy crap, there are ADVERTS on the internet!
-Why is it taking me 30 seconds to scroll through my bookmarks?
-I miss my extensions.

I don’t see the difference between Chrome and Firefox.
Well, except the “better memory management”, which Firefox really needs, with 5 tabs open, it sucks away a good 100-150 MB RAM/Swap.
And what’s up with the “revolutionary” tabbing?
