Kill Chrome Kill.
Would you let pornsite software, secretly installed, compromise your Banking ?

+ VERY FAST, very compatable with 90+% of the sites I viewed
+ Incognito....nuff said =)

- No Google bookmarks......(just in case Google didn't catch my disappointment)

- don't keep the last "save directory" when downloading – if you navigate once, you'll navigate for the next, then the next, ..., ....

- no way to create shortcuts on desktop and all of the other cool right-click things that IE is able to do.

- want to be able to add more buttons to toolbar...I don't need a 800pixel wide address bar ALL the time...

+ Last visited
- Can't customize last visited

+ Downloaded...could be smaller, but it didn't bug me that much

+ View source formatting
+ Popup handling is nice, a little obtrustive though

(side note...why do Google's toolbar links on their webpages never what you use most often?? I use gmail, maps, documents, and images...is it too much to ask to always have these listed without having to do "More->"??)

Problem is NSA will start waterboarding all faiths, including atheists.

And, can I be an adult and browse wherever I damn well choose without worrying my family or friends are gonna stumble onto my most private bookmarks and favorite places to go? Absolutely not!!! Look, Google, and listen up... The internet is a dirty place. If I choose to go on an adventure, I don't need a map the next day of where I've been. I need a box of condoms! Chrome is like a condom with a hole in it. In a few weeks, everyone knows where you've been.

Whenever I click a New Tab, my latest adventures on the web are displayed for all to see. Adding insult to injury, they never even considered that users would want to edit that feature. That should have been one of the first and most important goals!

"Incognito mode" seems like an afterthought when it should be the default mode for browsing. In the face of ever increasing worries about privacy and information abuse, Google's behavior is frustrating but not surprising. They claim they want to give the customer a wonderful end experience but let's be honest; that would entail smooth, seamless, intuitive, PRIVATE web-browsing that doesn't need a seperate window to be created. I think Google is banking on the fact that we're all getting real lazy about what's being stored on our computers and Google's data banks. And they are right.

Finally, Chrome may isolate the processes so that a crashed page does not necessarily crash the entire browser but in the week that I had it installed on my computer, it would either become completely unresponsive to mouse clicks or lock up the entire computer instead. Shortly thereafter, my family started experiencing weird errors and hiccups. I ended up reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling Win XP (SP3)! Back to IE7 for me.

I love the company but not everything they do is for my benefit. To act like they didn't know privacy was gonna be such a big issue is disingenuous at best. Cynical at worst. Chrome is cute but not yet ready for prime time. Keep working on it folks! I'll check back in a month.

First time bad impression. Borrowed market share from Firefox.
Gave it back. Tried it, my reaction confirmed, ready to delete.

The installer works, and it's fast. It took under a minute. No issues.

The browser could use better access to bookmarks, but that's a fairly small issue so far and I can wait for the solution. The inconvenience of crashing browsers (IE, FF) is far greater.

It's fast. As fast as Opera. It loads pages like lightning, so it immediately replaced Opera as my second browser.

When I save an image under FireFox, it takes nearly a minute. Using Chrome (or Opera), it's effectively instantaneous. Think about this: it takes FF a minute to save an image, and being a single task and single thread I can't do ANYTHING with it while I'm waiting for it to save an image it's already displayed! For this reason alone it has replaced FireFox as my primary browser.

Only one plug-in dependent feature has failed to load so far.

Not only can I switch tabs while a page is loading (something FireFox cannot do), I had a hard time finding a page that took long enough to load for me to actually test this.

The technical advantages of multitasking, from both stability and privacy points of view, are astounding, but the usability and performance it brings to the browser delights to behold. I've been complaining about single-tasking browsers for a long time now. Years, in fact. Someone finally heeded my laments.

Good job, Google – this is a great start! I've never liked pre-1.0 beta software before, let alone liked it enough to replace "mature" applications I'm already used to using.
