[LaW]Maverick September 2, 2008 Share [LaW]Maverick Member September 2, 2008 I'm using Google Chrome right now....for the first 10 seconds of use, it seems pretty solid. I'll report back when I have had more time to play with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebits September 2, 2008 Share ebits Member September 2, 2008 My beta doesn't like Windows XP 64-bit because I can't click on the options or report bug menu item. Guess I'll have to wait for the polished version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNA September 3, 2008 Share DNA Member September 3, 2008 I like it other then the cpu hog'n it does, better then firefox but the new ie8 seems to be real solid and now has most of the same features as the other two. The last thing I want to do it give up half of my cpu to the browser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laz.e.rus September 3, 2008 Share Laz.e.rus Member September 3, 2008 so far, its kickin the crap outta my firefox. Its mostly working with my schools Angel system, something that Firefox cant do, IE sometimes can do, and vista doesnt like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo September 4, 2008 Share Cujo Member September 4, 2008 tryin to figure out how to get my bookmarks show in a sidebar like i do in ff. until then i'll stick with ff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick September 4, 2008 Share [LaW]Maverick Member September 4, 2008 I will say that the load time for Chrome is MUCH faster than anything else, but every once in a while it'll hang for a second or two--particularly if I try to change pages while a video is still playing. So far, however, I'm favorably impressed, and I put an application short cut on my desktop for gMail and it opens faster than a similarly created shortcut in any other program works for me--so it's quite handy. And the GUI is largely gone, so it feels as if I'm opening a GMail application rather than a web-browser on the GMail page. Oh, and the reason it doesn't like Vista 64 is that it only officially supports 32 bit operating systems right now. That's why I didn't download it at home on my machine that's running Vista Ultimate 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz.e.rus September 4, 2008 Share Laz.e.rus Member September 4, 2008 I like it so far. Some things require a little getting used to ( IE: Cujos issue with the dropdown favs instead of sidebar.) But much faster. I did hit a site that gave me some issues with it, BUT, on the flipside it was working with Angel school system which FF wont do correctly, and IE 7(only) kind of works.

Preacher September 4, 2008 Share Preacher Member September 4, 2008 I like it, kind-of a cross between opera and FF. I'll prolly only use it sparingly until it comes out officially for vista 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz.e.rus September 4, 2008 Share Laz.e.rus Member September 4, 2008 I guess what I like best is....its different. Feels more outside-of-the-boxish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX September 5, 2008 Share NOFX Member September 5, 2008 I noticed a big difference with the threading yesterday. I was running on a low end computer, watching hulu. It was hanging up. I was clicking away and I thought it was just going to completely lock up and crash. Eventually it came through and proceeded to execute all of my clicks... eventually closing the browser. Seems to be much more stable then FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
