Google ChromeFollow

Some of you may have heard. Google is releasing a new open source web broswer called Google Chrome.

Do you think we need another browser? I plan on waiting a few weeks for the "techies" to make it safer through addons (No-Script and AdBlock esque addons) Then give it a go around.

From the Screen shots it looks a lot cleaner then firefox. My actual webpage tends to get scrunched with only 1 or 2 extra toolbars in Firefox.

What are your thoughts?

I think you're a ****.

Furthermore, I googled chrome and apparently it (being google) thinks I want to buy some sort of hippy inventory sack.

I've been playing around with it a bit. It's a lot more than just a new skin.

I like how the "incognito window" (any cookies/history from that window gets erased, leaving the rest of your history intact) was obviously designed for **** and workplace sneakery, but they say it's for "shopping for your wife's birthday present."

Not having adblock is killing me, so I can't use it full time.

At the very least, it's open source, so it'll be good for the consumer to have any novel ideas get appropriated.


Edit: It seems slower to open tabs than Firefox, however. We'll see.

Edit 2: Maybe it's just slow loading pages on Alla that have 20 ads & trackers that normally get blocked.

Edit 3: Seems like every time an advertisement refreshes, the entire browser hangs for a second. Guess I'll go back to firefox and wait this out a while.
