Why Google Chrome is already a great browser

Cyril Kowaliski of The Tech Report Writes:

"So, you've seen the news. Google has released an early beta of its first web browser, Chrome, which mixes elements from Safari and Firefox into a brand-new recipe. I could go into detail about the browser's fundamentals and features, but you might as well just try it yourself and read the introductory Google comic strip if you're after details.

Since I've ranted and raved about Internet Explorer 8 in two separate blog posts, I feel like sharing my perspective on a different effort. After all, Chrome has much in common with IE8. Both browsers come from massive software companies with gargantuan budgets, both browsers are early betas, and both browsers are more than simple evolutions from prior designs. Microsoft decided to outfit IE8 with a completely new rendering engine, while Google borrowed some of Chrome's building blocks from other browsers but built everything else from scratch."

Im using it now and its really fast and easy... just how I like my woman.

just need to fix a few things....incognito mode FTW..lol.

It's very fast. I tried it knowing they cease and or seize your privacy rights, then uninstalled it. I hope this pushes Mozilla to do even better so that we can still browse without our habbits being sold off to the highest bidder. Still, if they do cut into Micros marketshare, it'll be at the cost of the lemmings who don't like to read EULAs, TOSs and the like.

Good browser, though. ^^

Why is it here. Can you game on a browser? I don't think so. So why do I keep seeing these stupid articles?

[Vicophine]

Yes you can, I could be playing Runescape on it..

[JOLLY1]

Actually, yes you can game in a browser. Second, it is for pc people. If you don't want to read about stuff for pc's, don't click on the pc links.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I see what you mean dude.

We're just saying it's untrue.

We know web browsers aren't exactly designed AROUND gaming or anything...

This isn't actual GAMING related though; you're right.

The thing is, it's "news4gamers.com" and the majority of gamers are into stuff like new web browsers. I'm surprised we don't have a "boobs" section yet...like G4...haha.

[Lumbo]

In case you failed to read the pagename, its "NEWS FOR GAMERS", not "News about games"

The post is in "Tech" and it fits there.

[mirroredderorrim]

Well, I agree. But it is still PC related and should have been tagged with Tech as well. To each their own, though.

[Guitarded]

You can't game on a browser. Why is this here? Flame bait for Sony fanboys to bash Microsoft IE maybe? Stupid!

[Common Sense]

thousands of browser games say Hello.

[iceman2885]

-Didn't like the bookmark system
-Don't like how it didn't have a toolbar
-My the browser wouldn't respond to rolling up on my mouse wheel for some reason

It wasn't bad, it's just I saw no definitive advantage over Firefox. My favorite thing about it was the ability to move the tabs around.

Well, google's terms of service have "vague" language that allows them to steal your intelectual propiety..

And it's not very stable, crashed frequently with youtube and others.. and it has a serious exploit already:

[uie4rhig]

well i did notice that it doesn't play videos smoothly, especially viddler movies.. but i have never had a crash yet!

[SlyGuy]

feature on Mozilla Firefox and Chrome does not seem to have it (as far as I looked).

Note: If you have bookmarked pages in one folder, Firefox lets you open them all in tabs.

Its related as you can play games in browsers, second, its in the tech section and this is News 4 Gamers which could mean a variety of different pieces of news.
