For those of you who are into new browsers (heck we already got IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc), now we got Google Chrome. It's wierd, but very simple and very fast! I am still testing it, it works alot like windows does, if a tab crashed (like an app) the whole browser won't crash, pretty nice idea. Check it out and let me know what you think, I'll be beta testing this bad boy and make sure it's compatible with MT :D  :multi:

Whoa...that is weird. My first reaction is not to like it. I'll give it a chance though.

More on Chrome later.

I have it installed on my sandbox (winXP) machine but as of yet, there's still no linux or Mac edition available... also the terms are pretty questionable... see the articles and links here: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/09/03/0247205.shtml

basically you wave goodbye to any privacy if you use Chrome... also there are apparently some nasty security holes in it still...
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Wierd, it looks like they've taken opera and just massively simplified it! May as well try it out though  :)

Um, yeah... Google Chrome BETA.

Try it you must, but play it safe and avoid using it for "sensitive" tasks such as logging onto sites like PayPal & eBay, making online purchases, etc... at least until it's been reliably determined that it's a SECURE browser (which may take some time).

Me, I'll stick with good ol' (SAFE'n SECURE) Firefox and its wonderous choice of extensions.

Well, I've been trying Chrome out for a little while, and I actually like it. Simple and fast. :)

I do that too but not because I am poor- the nice policeman said I couldn't do it in the mall fountain anymore...
