Google Launches New Browser

Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/features.html)

Anyone plan on trying it out?

looks awesome... i doubt i can use my firefox extensions though... some of which do the same things, but platypus and greasemonkey will be dead :/.

It's cool but kinda memory hog. They built Google Gears (http://gears.google.com/)into the browser which should make things interesting.

I'm skipping this one for now...they already have a major security flaw, one that Apple patched with Safari 2 months ago (http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16889) (Chrome is built on Apple's WebKit engine). I may eventually try it out, but for now, I've got Firefox right where I want it, and I'm starting to rediscover Opera (used it a lot in college).

I'm satisfied with Firefox, but I'll give it a try. Google always impresses me, so I like to check out everything they do.

Bohnzie, good to know about the security flaw...

Just be sure to read the fine print... (http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/03/0247205)

It's bad enough I have Gmail as my personal email...not sure I want Google knowing everything I'm surfing...

Google has retroactively rescinded that term (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-chrome-license-agreement/). This guy also has a post about what Chrome sends back to the mothership (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-chrome-communication/).

The browser is pretty nice - seems faster than Firefox, and just feels less intrusive. The search memory feature is pretty awesome (it "remembers" how to invoke a website's own search page from the omnibar), although I'm sure it's just a matter of time until there is a FF plugin for it.

I just downloaded Chrome last night to check out, anyone use it on a regular basis? Pros/cons? It seems pretty fast.

I have Chrome, but purely for testing purposes. I'm a Firefox junkie and can't let go, especially with all the extensions. But now that Chrome supports extensions (https://chrome.google.com/extensions), I may have to revisit.

I downloaded Google Chrome a while back, it has some features I like but won't use it as my default. I still use IE and MSN-butterfly. Google Chrome just recently added the feature that allows downloads to Real Player, and because of it's speed I do use it at times.
