google was right by saying that the autonomous tab makes for a better browsing experience in the “long run” as you open and close tabs and pages, but it doesn’t make the browser faster when you first access it. It doesn’t bloat at all compared to firefox.

Frustrating though that my multiply uploads don’t go smoothly, and facebook is JUST A PAIN using chrome.

I’d use chrome for work and firefox for fun, for now.

might change my mind though coz i know it’s still in the beta stage.

Hope that “smooth” feeling gets transferred to other browsers in the future.

truly an amazing browser Design is a generation or two ahead of firefox 3. Really incredible. The best browser by a mile.

i guess goog is really looking forward to the days where there’s no need to have a fat apps client and everything works with the browser.. called chrome

Chrome is definitely faster and lighter than Firefox and other browsers but when I read the TOA and the line that JC pointed out, I stopped using it. Now that they’ve removed that, then I’m gonna continue using it but Firefox will remain as my default browser mainly because of the addons/extensions that I can’t live out with.

The security flaw is a good concern but since I’m very careful in downloading files off the net, it wouldn’t be a big deal for me.

I can’t wait for the first plugins for Chrome to come out.

1. most visited sites page
2. in the fonts and languages filipino and french are included.
3. open the following pages on startup i thought is really helpful

and so on and on ..

With regards to the webkit security flaw – I’m not so much concerned as the attack needs social engineering into making you think that the download is part of a system message ( or part of the browser ), — which makes it easier to avoid and detect. I personally direct all my downloads to a Temp folder ( for all browsers, and the first thing I did to Chrome was to set its download path ) where I can check for files I want and delete those that I do not need ( or have used but do not serve me any purpose anymore ). Also, make it a practice to not open files using the browser download box, just go to your downloads folder to do that. I do hope Google patches this flaw soon, but this should not hinder people from trying it out.

Ok, now back to Chrome craziness…. I’ll try to make it work in GNU/Linux hehe :p

First, define “Services”:

1.1 Your use of Google’s products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the “Services” in this document and excluding any services provided to you by Google under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Google. “Google” means Google Inc., whose principal place of business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.

Second, the issue:

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.

1) The word “through” was used.
2) Google Chrome is a “product” of Google and thus is included in “Services”

In other words,
“By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.”

means Google CAN do all of those to YOUR CONTENT which you submit, post or display on or THROUGH, the Services (example: Google Chrome).

PS, I hope I am wrong

Also found via Wikipedia, I only emphasized the keyword which wasn’t emphasized by the original article.

Layout Engine: WebKit – [1] FLOSS developed by Apple (which is used by Safari and other browsers); [2] a fork of KDE’s KHTML (which is used by Konqueror); [3] Chrome v0.2 is using an old version of WebKit (Safari 3.1.0 equivalent; latest WebKit is used by Safari 3.1.2)
Rich Internet Application (RIA): Gears
JavaScript Engine: Google V8
Graphics Library: Skia Graphic Library (SGL)
Project Behind Chrome: Chromium

It is interesting to note the following:
1) Google used FLOSS projects to build Chrome
2) Chrome was developed by 2 ex-Mozilla Firefox developers
3) It is importing from Firefox only upon installation
4) Will surely be integrated with Android
5) This is beta (LOL) so don’t expect ‘perfectness’

Personally, IMO, Chrome > Safari > Firefox > Opera > IE8

This was posted using Chrome v0.2 btw :p

Google launch their FLOSS (Free/Libre Open-Source Software) Browser called Google Chrome based on the following FLOSS projects:

Layout Engine: WebKit – the same layout engine found in Safari 3.1.0 (which is old – more below)
Rich Internet Applica…
