    Funny, I can't see most heavy Flash animations. Commission Junction looks quite funny for me too. What's it looking like for you guys.

    BTW, I have already reported it to Google that it's "looking funny" with a screenshot provided.

    Tried to download, and it tells me I have the wrong version of Windows.
    (I have XP).

    Does this happen to very many people??
    :eek:

    Good if it doesn't display flash or ads. We can only hope. Still not sure where it's storing files on my puter yet. Still tinkering and haven't let it past my FW yet.

    No, Chrome should be compatible with Window XP.

    Looks fine on my end, if anything i would say it looks better, almost brighter, or higher defined.

    I have XP and it downloaded fine, What service pack do you have?

    Ive been using it for 3 days, best browser ive seen as far as speed and user interface. The homepage starts up with thumbnail links to all of your most visited sites, i think this is a great feature.

    Im still highly impressed with this browser :)

    I will download it at one point...but I have learned from many new applications to let it "air out" for a few months before I jump in

    Plus it looks to be a resource hog

    It seems that way too many browsers have crowded the Internet .
    And each one wants to be a part of the legacy :)

    Check the benchmark chart for Google Chrome, IE, Firefox & Safari here:
    http://www.internetbrowserchrome.com/ Really amazing perfomance increase by Chrome. I loved FireFox but really am into Chrome now.... just because it is good and new!

    It makes sense that Chrome would be optimized for Javascript since Google popularized and proved the AJAX method will work.

    I saw that. Doesn't surprise me considering the majority of those that use firefox, are the web/tech savy individuals that like to try new innovations. Like myself, most developers, use firefox, and when a new browser, that claims to be better, comes along, we try it out. Some will go back to FF due to the lack of addons right now, some will hang on to chrome.

    I myself am very impressed with the speed, and lack of memory it takes to run chrome, so i will stick it out for a while.

    I thinks it is one of the fastest browser till now........
    As i just compared it with firefox and Opera i think it is considerably faster than them............
    But the Add-On in Firefox rocks...........

    Daily fluctuations of browser usage don't mean anything. One analytics firm showed Chrome with almost 3% usage on the second day. Most people use NetApps statistics anyway.
