Downloaded it and giving it a whirl - boy is it fast!!!! http://tools.google.com/chrome _________________ Gies a gonk ya dobber!!

It's installed fine on Vista x64. Running most sites and it seamlessly imported all bookmarks, passwords etc from Firefox. Pretty fast too. On the homepage where it shows you most visited sites, if you hold CTRL and click on the sites you want to open they will open in their own tabs. Any more tricks? _________________ My Real Name: Pete Back to top AlanM Single Sausage Joined: 31 Jul 2007 Posts: 343 Location: Glasgow Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 8:02 pm    Post subject: Liking the task manager and other associated geekery _________________ Gies a gonk ya dobber!!

Some pages loading faster than Firefox/IE..some not. Incognito is a pretty good feature. 'Control the current page' drop down>new incognito window. _________________ My Real Name: Pete Back to top Hugo Drax Black Pudding supper Joined: 31 Oct 2007 Posts: 588 Location: 0.0.0.0 Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 8:10 pm    Post subject: Will they throw their weight behind it or is this one of their 20% time projects? I have had my fingers burned by Google too often recently as they don't always maintain applications or issue new versions. I can't afford to start to rely on something only to have it stop working on me 6 months down the line. _________________ "This is like deja vu all over again."

It is only in beta so maybe even wait and see what happens over the next few months. I won't be moving over any time soon. _________________ My Real Name: Pete Back to top AlanM Single Sausage Joined: 31 Jul 2007 Posts: 343 Location: Glasgow Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 9:31 pm    Post subject: been using Chrome tonight, but I'm missing Greasemonkey and all my Flickr scripts. I am impressed by the speed, Incognito seems to have some useful applications, like banking (I said BANKING) Will probably go back to Firefox for day to day use but it will stay as an addition to the testing rota as it will become pretty popular, especially seeing the media coverage it has received. _________________ Gies a gonk ya dobber!!

Seems to mess up drawing form controls sometimes... especially on here! The task monitor and stats for nerds, are a nice touch.
