Google has released a new browser today!

http://www.google.com/chrome

Discusssss!!

[muku]

Google gets creepier by the day.

And I still use their stuff because they make damn good software. Sigh.

[Valter]

Discusssss!!

Like, Woah.

[moi]

Yeah google is getting way too much control over teh tubes.

[kyn]

Goddamn it.
I really tried not to like this, but look at it, it's beautiful, and there's so much space for the webpage
Sigh, they will eventually take control of everything

[Gnarf]

Testing it now and like it didn't immediately make me regret testing it. Seems rather nice and smooth so far. Avoids a couple things some other browsers do to annoy me.

It does some interesting things. Like every tab being a process so that if anything gets out of hand you should be able to kill that one process instead of the whole browser (shift+esc to use Chrome's task manager. You can see and kill different tabs in the windows task manager as well, but it's (far as I know, at least) hard to tell which process is which tab), and memory leaky things should be easier to deal with and, stuff.

And if you kill a tab's process the tab goes "Aw, Snap!" and becomes sad face.

Google is overpowered.

And we all so got cyborged. Apart from that this still looks wonderful.

[Eclipse]

I'll never change Opera.

they ripped of Opera Speed Dial.. those bastards


Still Opera has integrated mail, torrent and irc client, an loads of awesome skins to make it very minimal.
Way to go, Google Chrome!

Man this is too cool.
Still no way to deactivate bilinear filtering though. :[
Or is there...

Edit: incognito windows  :D
Edit2: The automatic history bookmarklike page thing whenever you open a new tab is pretty cool.
Edit3: Apparently it's based off of safari.

They seem to have a webcomic explaining the browser's development

[Corpus]

Eclipse, they're not claiming to have thought everything up themselves. They say they've taken the best of the existing browsers and tried to improve it.

plus this is way better then opera speed dial imo

[Saker]

WOW  .. realy clean and solid  ... looks like this will be my default web browser 

[Hideous]

Watch out for the EULA though. Until Google updates it don't overuse it. They have the right to do what the fuck they want with stuff you submit using it.

[Gnarf]

With what exactly, and how do they get hold of it?

From what I've read it seems it's supposed to be all very cleverly secure and all very open source. Gathering a lot of data you don't want them to have sounds like the sort of thing they wouldn't be able to get away with. No idea though.

Until it gets adblock, I'll probably stick with Firefox, but it's very fast.

I wonder if Google will even allow adblock though, considering that they, like, sell ads and all. But I don't know if they can prevent people from creating adblock plugins if it's open source.

[Cheater‽]

The interface is too big. It's also slower than my Firefox, since it doesn't have CRUISE CONTROL advanced config.

[cyber95]

Needs middle click for new tabs.

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

Needs middle click for new tabs.

Huh? It has it for me, that works fine.

[cyber95]

Really? Strange.
