Flyby Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Anyone treid Google's Chrome browser yet? I know it's beta, and I've read already that it's hacker-prone, but that has not been confirmed. I'm just a bit reluctant to give it a spin, especially on the wife's computer!:music_whistling: But i thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any personal experience, and can recomend it. Flyby out. The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
GTengineer Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 there is a large thread in the computer forum I visit frequently with many user experiences. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=200501 Overall it seems to be extremely fast (much faster than FF3, etc) but very early to really decide how good it is overall. I believe java is not working properly yet either. Being open source it will have the great advantage that Linux has in that everything is visible and any security problem should be easily found and taken care of. I wouldn't really use it yet to replace FF3 or Opera until it is more "seasoned" though. What I like most is 1) open source, 2) multithreaded, 3) it seems to be really fast Q6600 @ 3.8GHz, 8GB DDR2-1000, 8800GT 512MB, Vista x64, TrackIR4
eurofor Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I tried it for a bit earlier today and it is indeed really fast. Also appears to follow web standards very well so I hope it takes a big chunk of IE's market share. I'll wait to see if it's anything I'll be using much though. Firefox plugins are just too good.

Boberro Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I tried fast but it doesn't have web scalling, so it rejected me from it. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

TheMoose Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) I’m very satisfied with the security features of Firefox 3. I feel no need to jump into the Google wagon. I do have concerns on the web security features regarding privacy & exploits, since its new… I will wait and let others take the bait… Edited September 6, 2008 by TheMoose grammar Antec 900 gaming tower, PSU: Corsair 750W, Q6600, Asus P5K, 8Gig Mushkin, Nvidia eVGA 280 GTX Superclocked 1G DDR3, SSDNOW200 Kingston Drive, TrackIr 3000+Vector, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, Saitek rudder pedals pro, Sharp 42" inch LCD Aquo.
