    Google Chrome is fantastic!!!

    I can't believe how fast it is for downloads. Incredible speed. Why can't IE do that?

    Technically, if you read it, it still belongs to you and Google just has the right to reuse it.

    I assume this is in response to the lawsuits Google has received for its archiving and translating services.

    Not saying I like it, but I understand their reasoning, and it's not world domination.

    It also adds a program to your start up. Just what I need, another program running in the background at all times, no thanks.

    I understand how the bookmarks could be an issue for some, but overall I'm still really diggin' it. The history display upon reopen is really pretty cool.

    I'm anxious to see what changes/improvements they make in the near future.

    Re : The home button : Setting the home button
    1. Click the Tools menu tools menu.
    2. Select Options.
    3. Click the Basics tab.
    4. In the 'Home page' section, select the location of your home page:
    * 'Use the New Tab page'
    * Use a different webpage: Select the option 'Open this page,' then enter your desired web address in the text field.
    5. Set up ways to get to your home page:
    * To have a separate button for accessing your home page, select the 'Show Home button on the toolbar' checkbox. This Home button home button appears between the reload button and the address bar.
    * To see your home page everytime you open a new instance of Google Chrome, select 'Open the home page' option in the 'On startup' section.
    6. Click the Close button.


    Re : The stop button : from the Chrome help
    When loading a webpage, the arrow icon at the end of the address bar turns into an 'x.' Click the icon to stop the loading process.

    Wow, they really do seem to have accounted for about everything! Some of the features are not easy to find at first, but once you do they're very accessible and their layout adds to the overall simplicity. Me like.

    However, I do really wish facebook chat would work with it. :(

    Facebook just loads pretty slow with it all around anyways. :(

    Just cleared all the info. Browsing does seem to be a bit improved, but still no chat functionality.

    Those of you trying out Chrome, I have a couple of questions....

    Does it do the auto insert? In IE as I'm typing in an address or such, it starts to fill in the rest unless I haven't typed it before. So for instance, If I type www.microsoft.com and www.microcom.com, the next time I type www.mic it will automatically fill in rocom.com to what I'm typing. If that's what I want, I press enter. If it's not, I keep typing what I want. Once I get to www.micros it fills in the oft.com part. Make sense? I love this feature.

    Also, has anyone noticed if installing it affects IE in anyway? Do they get along with each other? Does installing it make itself the primary browser, taking away control from IE?

    Thanks!

    It does have that auto-suggest feature you mention, it plays with IE just fine, and it does not make itself the primary browser, though of course it will ask you to set it as such.
