Chrome, actually, was a disappointment to me. It is indeed faster, DEFINITELY switching tabs, but it is not worth scarificing Firefox's flexibility and options in the backend.

Chromes Options dialog is useless, I can't do much at all in comparison to IE or Firefox.

Chrome will need good Plugin compatibility as well.

When running Shockwave.com and the Alaplaya sites simultaneously, the Alaplaya sites Flash Nav lagged considerably (I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz and 3GB RAM).

I liked out Flash worked out of the box and it imported my Firefox data quickly as well.

The Language Factor is terrible though - I had no idea how to use Chrome at first - obviously - and it was all in Spanish - I understood it but only after SkyDX helped me change Locale DLLs to make it English I manage to excavate to where the Language Dialog was (and yes I chose English on the Chrome Site, my comp is set to Spanish localization but it is still a bad flaw).

This should be the browser of choice for Schools, Internet Cafes, and those Netbooks - its clean, simple, runs fast and is intuitive - but I just don't find it satisfactory.

Like Zinga said, Multi-Process Browsing will probably be introduced in Firefox 4.

Mozilla Prism, new version of Gecko..... it'll be hard to take me away from Firefox, sorry, Google.

I really don't want to rate Chrome right now. I mean, this is the first Beta. However, its apparent that Google took a lot of Firefox, made a survey about the most popular features and plugin and had them inbuilt.

Everyone knows that Mozilla Firefox 4 is going to raise the standard to a new level. Especially if they integrate V8.. that is a really nice feature...

I'll use Chrome till i get sick of the ads, then back to FF3.

They shouldn't have to use V8 if they do a good job with the next Gecko.

Remember - Google products stay in Beta for months, even a year or two >_>

I haven't had Chrome crash, bleh.

One particular disappointment as well, was that they failed on one proper test - the Acid2 Test, it fails on it.

Hope the final will actually have some options...

^ Exactly.

You probably will never be able to disable images without a plugin- Chome is designed for the current internet world, meaning DSL connections, decent PC specs and good amount of storage.


It wasn't designed to work with something old like 56k diasl-up

Some people just don't want Images in their Cache, RAM or it being downloaded at all.

Disable Images should be there.

That? It worked for me. Dunno what an acid2 test it though :)

It works, obviously, but it doesn't render properly, meaning it Failed the test.

Firefox 3, IE8 Beta, Opera and Safari 3 pass the Acid2 Test.

Nah, that would be holding the internet back If they want no images they should go back to 1995.

I always browse with images disabled.  Would kill my connection if I enabled it.
Plus, you may have reasons to disable them on various sites...

It's not just images.  You have basically no options in configuring the toolbar (ditto the Home button), can't disable Javascript, basically no control over Flash/Java, uses IE's proxy settings (double you tee eff?)...
I used the full package from the link I gave earlier, and it seems you can't even select where to install it >_>

If Google's touting it as a browser for web enthusiasts, it really needs to look into providing options.


Apart from that, haven't really tried it, but from what I've heard, it's good.  Very interested to see how this browser develops.

It took me a while to get a Bookmarks Bar, I found I could only get it in a new tab then enable it from that browser window - lol. I like moi Bookmark Bar :3

As sour as this may be put... it IS good. As good as any other browser is. Its far, FAR from brilliant.
