Hey Guys Looks nice on Vista & XP

As a side not for anyone using IE. - please please please use Firefox or Google Chrome and do yourself a favor

http://www.mozilla.com << Firefox download

.. and already a major security vulnerability has been detected  8-)

[encountar]

It needs time like all software for the major vulnerabilities to be discovered but its a good start

I agree, and I'll be giving this a whirl when I get home tonight  

[davet]

been playing with it today - certainly looks promising.  One difference is that bookmark handling seems rudImentary  compared to firefox but I guess google's intent is to make them somewhat unnecessary.

I'm a bit concerned at this item from their Ts & C's in section 7.1

By submitting, posting or displaying the content, you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content that you submit, post or display on or through the Services.

So, stuff uploaded to Photobucket via Chrome uploader can be stolen and amended by Google. Blog updates likewise.

Not clever, but I'll still give it a whirl shortly.

Well I have to say it's fast, and doesn't use excessive CPU on certain flash pages.

However, while testing out how completely it uninstalls, it leaves GoogleUpdate.exe in the system startup list (Start>Run>msconfig). That process is not just checking for updates (how could it, when I've uninstalled it?) However, it still wanted to access the net which I disallowed (ZoneAlarm).

I'll wait to see what the experts find before I try it again.

Even while "uninstalled", I still got this



Be aware that even after 6 hours following the uninstall, this still looks like Google is doing "spyware activities".......

Looks good.

[donc]

I would be a little cautious ... Google is master of the 'dial home track your usage web visits collate statistics watch over your shoulder' club... Some people aren't concerned about online privacy but to me it's sorta important.

Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows
 
I'll just have to wait for mac version.

[donc]

You don't need to wait Hemmi, you already have it... Google Chrome is just an earlier version of Apple Safari (the reason it's exploitable; later versions of Safari have been patched against the exploit) - If you've got a late model Mac you've already got Safari - and without all the Google dial-home garbage.

looks like this was unintentional (or at least google has backed down..

Forget chrome... Get opera... Always has been and always will be the best browser. And mouse gestures are only the beggining

[Lakes]

Thanks m8 just got opera and it sure is a lot faster than firefox.

[G14Classified101]

Learn the mouse gestures!!!! makes life easy. Example right click on page move mouse left and release the button... Will go back a page. etc
