Quote
The firm's Internet Explorer program dominates the browser landscape, with 80% of the market.

That's because unlike FireFox (and now Chrome), Microsoft 'forces' Internet Explorer on you at first. When you first install your Microsoft OS, it's right there already by default, and most people who don't know much about computers, don't even know about FireFox, allowing Microsoft to take 80% or so of the market.

Bastards.

Can't exactly blame them, besides, without a browser pre-installed getting a better browser is a bit of a problem xD

This sounds really awesome, the idea of the application using multiple processes is brilliant. I can't wait to see what comes of this.

I was thinking about downloading it, but I get so used to the browsers that I use.  I mean, it took a lot to go from Internet Explorer to Firefox - even though people had negative opinions of the former, it worked good enough.  Chrome's features look interesting though.

It's not bad really, I'm using it right now.
I do miss my add-ons tho so I will probably go back into Firefox.
It's pretty nice and fast tho.

I don't really have any add-ons with FireFox so I don't really care. At least I won't get random memory leaks.

Yeah, that's about the only thing I hate about FireFox.
It's really annoying having it at 203.

I heard that Chrome isn't nearly as customizable as FireFox. But of course I have a Mac so I can't find this out for myself. ::)

Well Chrome is in beta. I'm sure it will be pretty customizable since it's apparently open-source, or will be.

Also I've experienced a few memory leaks here and there so far, but nothing I can do since it's Beta and I'm sure it'll be fixed.

2. Although you retain any copyrights to content you own and use in the browser, Google says it has a right to display some of your content, in conjunction with promoting its services. Here's their exact wording.

"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."

3. Don't be surprised to see more ads.

Traditionally, it is Web pages and not the browser itself that serves ads. Google isn't saying it will change this paradigm, but it's terms of service don't rule that out either.

"Some of the services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the services, queries made through the services or other information.

The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the services are subject to change without specific notice to you."

Lets go google lets go WOO WOO

I'm using it as we speak. It's a fairly good browser, but there are some things I don't like, such as Google not being a part of the dictionary from the get-go. Kind of funny, if you ask me.

Lets go google lets go WOO WOO
What's your point? A few more ads and people taking a point in the fine print out of context to make the browser look bad?

Oh, okay.

It's a pretty nice browser. Quite fast compared to any other browser I use.
