Google Chrome

i just recently saw a link to this over on retouchpro. thought you folks might be interested also. google now has their own browser you can download and use for free. it's still beta and i havent tried it out yet, so i really dont know a thing about it, but here's the link: http://www.google.com/chrome . if you do try it out, post up your opinion here.

Why Crapa, it's the same old thing as usual really. I mean I read the part on the *clicky* link there and it's same as 1,000,000 others.

----Not to totally change the subject, but what's the point, I just have IE 6, and I get like 1 pop up ad a week if that. If it weren't for the fact that people's info gets stolen by the laptop-full weekly ha-ha, I wouldn't even care if they tracked me around online. It ain't gonna cause pop ups, and it ain't gonna make a broke mf like myself buy anything anyways.

Exactly!!! Google is the absolute worst for throwing their own dead-end crap into your searches and wasting your time.....

lol. well, i'm glad to see you all love it

actually, i've run into 'call homes' from google before also. i think it was their toolbar. didnt like that idea at all. they're starting to get as controlling as M$ and that's just not acceptable.

on the other hand, i do like that google seems to be innovative. if they'd stick to the innovative part and get away from the controlling part, i'd be perfectly fine with them.

i still use their search engine as my favorite. i dont think they have an equal there.

oh, and as for the thing in dilla's 'clicky' link, notice near the top where they've said that google made a mistake and is taking that part of the eula out or revising it or something.

That's what makes it suck, IMHO.....

M$ might be controlling in its' own way, but at least it doesn't get in the way of everything I want to do.....like Google.....

Yahoo and Google both annoy me that way.....throwing all those "sites-to-nowhere" in your searches. It's just one of my pet peeves.....so if I see anything with Google or Yahoo come up in an IE search, I avoid it like the plague.....

Business wise.....I'm sure it is working quite well to "funnel" hordes of people to their paying customers.....

That's for sure!!!

I think "Data Mining" is a conservative term for what they really do....

I was hoping that M$ was trying to purchase Google just to shut them down and get them out of everyone's hair..... LOL....
