Guest Anonymous Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Re: Google Chrome I assume that ""its shit"" and "aload of crap" are technical terms... Have you perchance looked at the source code, have you spent time the time analyze exactly what each module does internally, (excluding the render engine as I imagine that is beyond most people's ability to comprehend). There are some *very* interesting advances in architecture with this browser although personally I am wary of it, simply because of the fact it has been (mostly) produced by a search engine organization. Perhaps instead of jumping on it -- you give it a fair chance -- Let people analyze it first and push it. After all I'll bet you've not had it running for a month browsing huge numbers of complex sites and comparing it's abilities against IE/FF etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Re: Google Chrome IMO, It's pretty good in speed, cpu usage and so on. I won't be using it yet not until for a few months at least until they've ironed out bugs & security wholes esp when it's just been released.

mdshare Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Re: Google Chrome All I can say 10 sites opend on IE, FF and Chrome (same pages) IE 300k FF 210k Chrome 43k after 8h, so Chrome has way better memory management than IE and FF, now don't forget that Chrome is a public Beta. Did you check out the wealth of information using the Chrome inspector, the ability to turn of js processes per tab etc Only issue I have encounterd is a minimal rendering issue, nothing compared to the heavy rendering issues with IE8 rendering wise FF is still the nr1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POG1 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Re: Google Chrome I downloaded google chrome just to see if my site looks any different. The browser is very light and "stylish" 8/10 i'd say. The people that are slating are bitches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungGold Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Google Chrome i quite like it....it is very smooth light and easy to use.....quick loading pages..no add on's but it is in beta and overall i think it is relatively good....i just hope it isn't a pain to code websites around.

POG1 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Google Chrome I checked a few sites out on it and there are only minor differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Google Chrome i find that chrome has a lot of cool feature and much better memory management and another cool feature is that if one tab crashes or experiences problem,s your entire browser doesn't crash and get closed, just the one tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Google Chrome I downloaded this a few days ago and it seemed very good, the speed was just like Firefox and web pages was fine, they maybe bugs but its a beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Google Chrome Now the question is , why does a searchengine brings a browser on the market ? My only guess is to fetch more data from users for their ad management. Wouldn't be to difficult for google to publish ads for the chrome user according the surf habit/browser history etc....

Decepti0n Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Re: Google Chrome I think they also said they wanted to help enable web apps that are basically a lot more advanced, the debuted Gmail back whenever which pushed the limits of the browser already, so now they can set the limits themselves. Google already gets plenty of info from it's toolbar, they also said (haven't checked the source) that there is no reporting sort of feature, the only contact is the download of malware/phishing sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Re: Google Chrome Didn't checked any news actually on it nor source code was just a rough guess from my side. 2 zdnet articles Five reasons why Chrome will crash and burn Five reasons Chrome will take over the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Re: Google Chrome The reason google made chrome can be summed up with this "MICROSOFT" lol google is a direct competitor of microsoft (in case anyone didn't know lol) There's an advertising aspect in this. If people are using your browser, you're advertising your name to them and everyone they talk about the browser to. (very handy...) One might think google doesn't need more name brand recognition, but if they sit on their laurels (like firefox did with ff3 IMHO) then you're in danger of falling to the wayside... I hear Chrome doesn't import from Opera, which considering that opera does have a decent share of the market, they really need to hop on that (this info comes from an opera user that had to import to firefox, and then to chrome) Overall, I like chrome. I do NOT like the IE style application menus.... ffs, can't we have them on the right hand side where they are in 99.9999999999999999999999999% of all other programs? jayzus.................... Another nitpicky thing I don't like about it, it takes too many clicks to clear your cache. You have to uncheck all the deals you don't want to clear out, like cookies, just to clear your cache. That doesn't make me happy. The shift + F5 or control = F5 key short cut that loads a page without using the cache, is nice, however, on the next page load, you're probably back to using what's in the cache, unless the stuff you load during the "no use cache on load" overrights what's in there. (the specifics on that were not mentioned in the manual....) It's hard enough to write css and javascript without making cache control more difficult. It's mainly small issues with chrome. They've certainly showed that, as newcomers, they're serious about what they're doing and I think that might spark a bit of creativity in mozilla and their lackluster firefox 3 browser..... (yes ff3 is good, but it is hardly that much better than ff2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronus Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Re: Google Chrome I've seen a lot of people posting about how it can be hacked and is not quite secure yet. Bugs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QiVux Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Re: Google Chrome It has only been released for like a week... Now, in that week i used Chrome. I was first impressed by the start-up and the browsing speed of Chrome. I was also impressed with the interface. One word for it is "Simple". It is Memory Efficient. Which is a very good thing. But after a week of using it, it began slowing down for me and giving me errors about how it cant load the page. I refreshed once or twice then it kicked back in to gear. So overal i would give the browser a 7/10. With room for improvement. I really liked it and cant wait for the next release. Even though its made by a search engine corp. i still like it. Just hope they know what privacy is. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudinski Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Google Chrome Google has allot of issues and complains about privacy, you simply just shouldn't expect it from a search engine like Google. Google has some pretty nifty developers on their side, most of them with a phd, so their program would be to some of the best standards. Google will have a way of collecting the sites you visited, and then indexing it, if you like it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Google Chrome Well if you read the EULA, it's black on white said that google ads could be pushed directly to the browser. So any chance for a adblocker addon will be most likely nill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QiVux Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Re: Google Chrome now thats just stupid of google. pushing ads through your browser. as if there isnt enough of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
