Hi,

I like it, easy, quick and as you said, lots of interesting features. I particularly like the "new tab" feature where yout get the most visited pages summarised in one tab and ready to be opened without going to bookmarks.

Cheers Brian, i like it.

Hey Easty! thanks for the headsup! it works pretty nicely, i'll probably be sticking to this from now on. Maybe it'll give firefox and IE some pressure REAL quick!

It's pretty fast and I like its simplicity, but at this point, it's a little too simplistic for me. There does not seem to be a way to change the button arrangement, and I hate the left and right arrows being all the way to the left. I use them too often for having them this far out of the way. More importantly though, I can't imagine going back to not having an ad blocker running, so for now, I'll stick to Firefox.

Thanks Easty!

I have been using it for the last few hours, like it very much! Looks like I will keep it as default browser now.

Features I like:
Inline spell check (for me very useful!)
URL and search is the same box.
Popup is automatically stopped and you can pull it out if you want, pretty nice.
It is Fast!
Simple design = more room for the web page.
Incognito windows that wipe out all the cookies and history

This is a comic style story that tells the development of the Chrome and it's features. Very programmer oriented, but interesting to read.

I just downloaded it, I think its very good and the fact that its simplistic makes it easy to use and not irritating like the other web browsers. Whats up with the Web browser wars and search engines lately, looks like nearly every company wants to dominate this segment.

Firefox 19% of computers and IE around 81% according to the findings of BBC world news.

Very cool cartoon presentation. Lots of good precise information. Maybe like their browser

I was not going to install it, already have IE, netscape, and firefox, but there's just so much talk about it on every forum, so I'm installing now.
