Google Chrome

I do, but I never use it.  Right now I'm messing with google chrome.

just downloaded it, haven't installed it yet. let me know how it goes. I love that google finally put out a browser.

[socalrappy700]

I'm still trying to customize it.  It seems too simple right now.  I'm a big fan of firefox and it much like that.  They are working with apple on this one so we'll see how that goes. 

And speaking of apple, they have another announcement next week.  I'm betting lower price on the itouch and maybe a few other changes to the ipod line.  macbooks may see a change too.

That would be sweet.

I REALLY REALLY hope apple brings out a 40-80 gig i-touch.

I love the functionality of having wireless on my ipod, but can't justify it for an 8 or 16 gig only. 

[socalrappy700]

Thats the way I feel.  I need a lot of space.  The announcement will be next tuesday so we'll have to wait and see.  Looks like apple is still workin hard to own the world.

So far the chrome isn't my fav.  Not as nice as firefox.  But looks like I can mess with it so I'll keep working.

I think that was googles whole thought process behind it though. a Bare bones web browser. I haven't read/looked mcuh into it, saw the screenies for it today, and downloaded it.

we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another

reading a bit about it.. THAT alone is worth Google Chrome. NO other browser can do that. if there's an error on a page, it crashes everything.

So for you guys that run browsers other than IE7, do you keep IE7 on your comp as a backup?  Or do you ditch it completely?  What are the real advantages of the other browsers such as firefox, chrome, safari, etc?

I'm all firefox right now, but I'm messing with this chrome.....to see if I can set it up the way I want.

I run IE7 and have been beta testing IE8. But I've been stuck on IE always. FF has some nice features, but not enough to make me switch.

The Chrome that is out now is just a BETA. They will add more features when the full version comes out.

[socalrappy700]

Any word on when that is?

[Krandall]

Since beta was just released today. I'd bet it'd be at least 6 months before a FULL version is released.

Cool, could be worth the wait.  But I skimmed the story but it said they were working with apple or something like that.
