Need to try this as I am hearing a lot about this new browser. Hopefully this will be faster and will take less space.

Deba - Nice browser with some problem

Google Chrome is really a great browser with some great inbuilt features... and also the thoughts behind it is really great. Though there are some problems in some cases... sometimes for some site the css doesn't work...

Though, from the Google Team, it is really a good invention. Hope the team behind it will soon overcome the problems and, as usual, like other Google products, Chrome will BOOM!!!!!!!

Here's how I see this all playing out.

Google releases Google Chrome beta tomorrow in 100 countries, and people like it, but they like Firefox 3, which they've been using most of the year, more. The initial rush to get the browser should make it incredibly difficult for many people to actually try out Chrome, but even after the hoopla has had time to settle down, it'll be Firefox's market share that grows, not Chrome's.

Google Chrome does gain instant popularity and notoriety among the Web cognoscenti, but average users are still with the IE 7 that came with their Vista desktops or the Firefox browser their somewhat techier friends downloaded for them.

Firefox's market share reaches 30 percent by May 2009.

Meanwhile IE 8 Beta 2 (in my experience, a buggier beta than the developer edition) goes full release later this year, but does not inspire. The Firefox "Awesome bar" still beats IE's updated address bar, and Google's Omnibox address bar's promise of more fluid response is no head-turner.

By May 2009 Google Chrome has a whopping 1 percent of the market. By mid 2010 Firefox has 50 percent of the market, IE 45 percent, and Google Chrome and Opera are fighting over the scraps.

Is Google Chrome big news? Sure. Any time the world's leading search engine company exhales or develops a hangnail, it's news. A full-blown-product in a key, albeit free, category is important. Yet this one won't be a game changer.

As I said, don't get too excited about Google Chrome.

Google Chrome is really a great browser. And has redefined the browser world by intelligently defining separate threads to process java script. I hope the maximum that can happen to Google Chrome is other browsers like Firefox and IE can learn from it and redesign new improved products

IE sucks so does Chrome. I agree with you! Firefox rocks as I love the feature of 'Tab' without opening millions of windows. I am really loving Mozilla Firefox and dunno how will Chrome become a challenge for any other browsers. I had worked with Google and I hate to say that any product of Google sucks except the Google web and search engines.

I really feel bad to say that I hate Google Chrome as I am used to Mozilla and IE. I hate IE as well! I do have Chrome installed in my laptop but never use it as it sucks! I dunno why people like anything made by Google?

Another advice for Saspink.. if you could please take care of your Caps Letter, Paragraph formation, grammar, spelling etc while writing an article it will help a lot and will look more professional. I hope you understand the difference between writing online and writing your personal diary!

abc252009 - Google Chrome

Author | 2008-10-12 13:02:58

i have used Google Chrome for about 2 weeks. This is what i have found. I have rated it on a scale of 1 to 100. 1 means bad and 100 means excellent.

User Interface : 80% ( Looks good)
Usability : 20% ( options hang often)
Crashes : 5% ( freezes the PC)
Security : 10% ( security loopholes are there)
Disk Space Occupied : 90% ( less space occupied)
Compatibility with Windows : 60% ( more or less compatible)
Pluggins Support : 20%
Fast Page pre-cacheing : 90% ( its quite fast)

overall rating : 30% ( mediocre)

wake up developers of Google Chrome, you need to work for the remaining 70% to be at par with Mozilla FireFox.

:-)
its nice that people are so analytical about online free products. I have not personally tried to download the product. But now I think, I will not unless I get good feedback from you people.

Don't go for it! It sucks! I am a Mozilla fan and as per the Google Chrome thingy, it's very poor in performance. Google still need to come up with Yahoo messenger style chat sessions, Mozilla style Browsers and Windows style OS.
