Anyone used this yet, wicked fast, unreal, just trying it out for the first time, it it also has a built in spell check, I've literally been using it for like 3 minutes, and I think I have a new browser. Try it out! IDO I swear is 5 times faster.

I know a few people who liked at first also but apparently it has quite few bugs to be worked out and they ended up shoot canning it!

I just heard about it on the news. Yesterday was Google's 10 year anniversary. Started in a garage about the time the movie Titanic came out.

I'll have to try it.

Yep, at first it seemed pretty good and worked alright, but once I used it for awhile I started noticing some things I didn’t like.

If you want to highlight the URL bar to copy/paste you need to click and drag (FireFox does this in a single click).
I never did find a “Home” button on Chrome.
It hung up uploading pics to photobucket
It hung up uploading vids to YouTube.

FireFox 3 is the browser for me right now.

Diddo on the Firefox for me too but the Chrome has some serious potential once they get the bugs worked out.

The home button is under tools, then options then the "basics" tab.

Going to play around with it awhile, I dropped firefox a long time ago, after I figured out IE was faster despite other's claim's there were other issues too, but I can't remeber them all, and I've just never went back.

I agree IE is just as fast as FireFox maybe more so with the recent FireFox-3 upgrade.
I know FireFox is the rage and I'm sure it's a great browser but I have tried it numerous times and found it not to be to my liking.

I use Avant Browser for the most part.

I've gone away from FF over the last couple months. We each new upgrade it gets slower and slower and I was seeing more frozen pages and other issues.

I'll be giving chrome a try shortly.
