No witty thread title here.
So Google released a beta of their browser today, and a lot of you probably couldn't give two shits or if you're web devs are probably annoyed about having to account for yet another browser. Out of curiosity, I went ahead and downloaded the installer. It's a quick download and a fast install.
http://www.google.com/chrome
Currently the Chrome beta is only available for Windows.
Even though it's in beta and there will certainly be some bugs, I have to say so far I like the speed (it's noticeably faster than firefox 3 for me), it's easy as hell to move tabs around (including just dragging them to a new window), and the interface has the functionality I need without the clutter I get with other browsers. So far I like it.
There's even an in browser task manager and the browser handles each tab separately so at least in theory, if a process in a tab freezes up you can use the browser task manager to just close that tab without it affecting the other tabs.
Anyone else using/planning to try Chrome?

Probably don't work for my desktop OS, I might check it out on my laptop.
I googled for chrome. Hmm.
What's your desktop OS
I hardly ever use windows though. I'll be more interested when there's a Macintosh flavor.
N...no?
I'd say it's worth checking out
has a really clean interface, feels fast, time to see if it handles quicktime better than firefox

IT GOES SO FAST
IT GOES SO FAST
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm sure that'll be along soon enough
anybody else have the play/pause/progress bar completely blacked out on quicktime videos? the video plays fine, just the whole bar underneath is black

also the most visited website thing could be embarrassing if someone on your computer opens it and sees you visit HOTLATINODICKINGS a whole bunch
yeah also many more options!
how about some bookmark editing page... and some interface layout customization.
I might need to reinstall it

i suppose, but i'd like the tab bar below my other bars...
But sadly it is letting me mouse wheel down but not up.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
still want my history to have a modicum of decency
also, it could do with a smooth scrolling feature like Firefox has, I love the speed of this thing but scrolling through the forums feels a bit jarring in comparison

huh i thought this was just my laptop being screwy
Follow me on Twitter??
or just a beta, like everything else google
definitely a beta beta, but not in the buggy, unstable sense
it just currently lacks a lot of features
still makes a good first impression

it's pretty rad
mine won't let me use the ridiculous mouse wheel click thing to scroll up and down. i love that silly thing!
