Seems Google is supposed to release their own Web Browser at some point today!

LINK TO GOOGLE NEWS ARTICLES

I have to say I'm VERY anxious to see what it's like.

    Considering some 80+% (maybe even 90+%) of people are using Windows to access this site, I'd say you're a bit late on the world domination fears.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I gotta say --

    I just downloaded it and it seems hella faster.

    Very clean, easy to figure out..

    No excess BS.

    I like it so far.

    Just downloaded it and am using it. Haven't done much with it so far, but I do like the interface, the simplicity, and the functionality.

    I really like the fact that each tab is kept separate, so if one crashes you don't lose your whole session.

    I agree with the others. It seems very quick and isn't bloated...yet. Reminds me of how FF was a few years ago.

    I'm really liking the browsing experience so far, but I've been playing around with their 'taskbar', and with the same pages loaded in each browser, it seems that FF3.0 is using less memory.

    Really liking it so far. The incognito feature seems like it could be quite useful.

    I like the incognito page feature ;) ....
    You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window.

    So I've been playing with it for a few minutes no\w.

    It definitely seems significantly faster rendering pages. I like that each tab is its own thread / process, both for memory and crashing reasons (Firefox doesn't crash often, but it happens, and it's definitely a memory hog).

    The text resolution is a bit funny, everything seems almost hazy. An Apple fan friend of mine claims that since it's based off of the Safari engine, it's using Apple antialiasing.... I"m not a fan.

    I like the "Incognito" feature... uh... not that I need to use that for anything....

    I love that you can resize text boxes (like the one I'm typing in), which I've never seen ANY browser allow.

    I've also decided I don't like that you can't have your bookmarks open all the time. THere's a bookmarks TOOLBAR at the top, and you click on "other bookmarks" and it brings down a menu, but there's nothing like the sidebar in Firefox (that I've found) where you can have your bookmarks constantly open. I keep mine in folders, and usually if I'm going through blogs or sports sites I'll click on one after the other, and it's a pain to have to navigate a drop-down menu each time rather than just having the folder open on the left.

    All in all I like the layout and it's clean and fast, but until I can get AdBlock and a few other extensions I don't see using it for my main browser. I have a feeling after a few iterations and what not it may edge out FF though...

    I don't get what y'all are saying about the text being blurry at all. Sure, it's blurry to me at the moment, but so is FF...but contacts are bothering me... :-\

    Anyways, I'm still liking it pretty good. I've NEVER used the bookmarks sidebar in any browser. Though now that you mention it like that, bobman, I'm thinking it'd be pretty cool.

    Facebook chat still isn't working in Chrome for me. Works in IE and FF just fine. When I click on the little red dot, the window pops up fine...but NOTHING happens when I click on 'Go Online'.
