Got it... I like the sandbox idea... the comic book was interesting but I think the Joker shuld be a darker character!

How did you guys miss out on Flock aka web 2.0 browser?
Flock is based on Gecko/Firefox, has super cool features like the media bar and web clipboard, integrates with Facebook/MySpace/YouTube/all other crap

OMG, Chrome is amazing!!! I'm typing this from within it now. I thought for web design i can't live without firefox + firebug but right click and goto inspect element and its nearly all there! Just a bit of tweaking and this browser is going to be the web standard.
It's fair to say im impressed.
P.S. OMG its fast!!!

I haven't touched it yet but I read the comic, I like some of the things they are trying to do. It was interesting to see their testing methods using their own database of popular websites from people searches.
I will probably give this a go.
The comic was a nice touch, lots of real information about what happens under the hood and why they are doing it, the problems that they set out to solve with the changes etc

Yeah, Chrome is kinda nice. I have always been fond of simplicity. The
The interface is as simple and uncluttered as it gets. Another hit from
GOOGLE

I just decided to download it and I must say, this browser seems pretty sweet. I have just found a bug involving input as I type this message, but overall, I'm very impressed. The speed is incredible.

It uses less memory compared to IE and FF. Very nice browser!

Does this have addon support? I would love to see an adblock for this.

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd let you know I've tried chrome, and it is very fast. It also looks great. It's worth downloading it.
Thanks.

i'm impressed of the stability since its only a beta. It seems to run great, and its damn fast. And enjoyable simple interface design.

Of course, GMail is still classified as a beta.
I think they just label it as such so when it does something screwy, they can blame the fact it is a beta.

I think it's great but I hate the funky blue interface. Just give me the standard OS window and let me theme it.
What? And I can't middle-mouse-drag to scroll??
