Downloaded and tried the new web browser put out by Google called "Google Chrome". I used it for about an hour and I did not like it........I usually use Mozilla Firefox, Has anyone else tried it, and if so how did you like it?

Been using it since it was released, I really like it... it's VERY fast and simple, which is what I think a browser should be.
There is an adjustment period, but now I find FF and IE 'clunky'. -

WOW! I just downloaded Google Chrome and I think it's great. There is a bit of a learning curve from IE or Foxfire but I have to say that it is the quickest browser I've ever used. Now that's saying something since I have used Opera, Netscape, Foxfire, Fine Browser, Flock, PhaseOut and so many versions of IE that I can't count them anymore. Seems like I found my new browser. Thanks slyinglide!

I've tried various other browsers, but good ol' Internet Explorer (the version where you can open up multiple tabs in the same "launch" is handy for me.
When I lose this function by trying other browsers, it don't last, man....it just don't last. -

Have you tried Chrome Rob? It has the same multi-tab style functionality that good ol' IE has but it's lighter, quicker and you get so much more actual viewable window real estate. As far as I can tell it possess all of the same IE functionality. I'll definitely let you all know if I run into any glitches.

I knew you'd find something to like about this browser. It's got me. It's so simple...maybe too simple.

The introduction of Google's Chrome is an interesting development, as it's much much more than "just another browser".
Chrome is Google's next move in supplanting traditional operating systems with the "browser as the operating system", in which applications are run from a network "cloud" rather than the local system.
Microsoft needs to be very very afraid. -

I just downloaded Chrome, and I don't like it. I like the aesthetics, but most everything else I don't like.

It is fast. SBG still looks good! Though, there are a couple things that I'm still trying to see if I like or not.

The only glitches I've seen so far (aside from only being available for Windows) is its handling of PNG translucencies. And its form autocompletion is applied rather haphazardly.
Luckily, it's based upon the WebKit renderer (same as used by Apple's Safari and the Omni Group's OmniWeb, as well as Adobe AIR) so at least it's not a completely new renderer for us web devo types to have to worry about. But it is another browser that we'll need to test on.
