has anybody else

downloaded the new google chrome beta that released today, or is it just me?

 

I guess it's just you .

 

ewww i instaled and right away uninstalled it just another browser i think ill keep IE

 

of course it is just another browser, it wasnt supposed to be anything other then that

 

I'm very happy with Firefox and don't have time to run a beta through the tests.

 

im using it now and have been using it solely as my browser since its launch and have had zero problems with it, you wouldnt even know it was a beta because there are zero bugs that i have experienced

 

I would have if they had a Mac version out. Google is on the fast track to being even more of monopoly. Whoever runs Google is pure genius. I remember when it was just a search engine amongst all the others.

 

the two creators of google, created google in college if im not mistaken and now they can retire on some private island

 

I'm going to stick with firefox because its open source.

 

I downloaded it. I run Firefox, I.E. and Google Chrome now - lol, all at the same time! Essentially choosing a browser dependent on what website I have open.

I don't like the history tracking. I can't seem to find where to turn it off also. Google does allow you to pick which search engine it is hooked up to.

I am visiting the Googleplex in October though, I can give them any feedback you may have.

 

the only way i have found to fix it is to click on the little wrench in the upper right corner and clear it

 

Yeah, I don't want to have to clear it. I have my other browser set to clear everything as soon as I close them.

What is really funny, is that I work in internet advertising, and I don't like my history tracked...

 

yeah me neither, i dont like anyone knowing what i do on the internet, so i run tor from the minute my computer turns on to the moment it shuts down

 

Porn mode

 

not at all, too many viruses out there to even take the risk

 

No isnt that the lingo now for "tracking free" mode?

 

Microsoft is supposed to be coming out with a mode in which nothing is tracked. There is a bit of controversy over the whole thing. At the same time though, they actually are considering adjusting their search engine results based on browsing habits. It will be interesting to see where the battle of the browsers ends up.

 

I run FireFox at home. At work I have to run IE because some of the websites we use don't support FireFox. IE sucks.

Microsoft would be better off committing their resources to something better than Vista. I just got a new computer at work (had no choice which OS or brand of computer). It's a Lenovo Think Center with Vista. POS computer with the a POS operating system. I hate it. :frustrat: I spend 15% of my day either waiting on it or restarting it. Takes 30 seconds just to print a document and get it to quit "thinking" so I can move on to the next task. There really aren't any "tweaks" that you can do to make Vista run faster. It was designed to protect inexperienced users from their own stupidity. No thought was given to the experienced user who just wants a bare bones unit that runs fast.

 

Exactly why I run GNU/Linux on my home system. I'm currently running Suse Linux, but have run Redhat, Ubuntu, and Knoppix. All use the same core system and allow me to do everything I need without the incredibly slow response of Vista. I also use OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) so I don't get soaked by the high cost of Microsoft Office.

 

i run 64 bit vista ultimate by choice and i like it, but since you dont and you say they should focus on making a new OS youll be glad to know that they are, its called windows 7 or something like that
