Ian,
I have been expecting something like this for a while, but I actually
expected it out of China or India, to be honest.
Windows 7 is bloody fantastic, IMHO, but the legacy issue is something
that is a great boon to corporate customers who have stuck with Microsoft
over the decades. If you

Well that's certainly better than it crashing the entire browser!
Slightly impressed, less than 24 hours after Google Chrome is released
there is a crash exploit for it!

If they are making GTK work properly on Mac OS X and Windows, I don't

I heard about this again on Radio 4 whilst in the car earlier... While I
already knew about it, it suddenly made me realise - it's yet another
browser and DOM to code for.

Chrome is using Webkit, so assuming you already count Safari
as one of your three (*) existing major browsers, you should
be fine as far as HTML rendering is concerned.

Haven't downloaded it as I am using Linux, but I have signed up for
email alerts so should be one of the first to know when they get the
Linux version working.
The Google code URL doesn't appear to be working yet though.

It's pretty spiffy - very fast compared to IE7 on Vista.
I like the way you can tear-off tabs and re-attach them to a different
Chrome window - 'in-tab' pop-ups are a nice feature - It seems fairly stable
- even with over 100 tabs active it's still pretty nippy.

Not impressed that (for me at least) Chrome appears to have removed by
bookmarks, favourites, history, etc from Firefox and instead of importing it
has apparently just deleted it. Anyone else have this?

There's no F11 to take you into full-screen mode either.. It's a bit of a

Also, built in spell-check doesn't know the word Google!

A lot of it is sensible but we're just not used to it. Of course a new tab
should open next to the tab you opened it from, but it doesn't work like
that in Firefox, so of course I'm looking at the far right of my screen..

So far this is working like a rocket. Hasn't crashed yet, no major disasters
with the renderer and I keep finding lots of nice little touches like the

there are many more. I don't think I'll be uninstalling firefox

Well, in itself that is interesting, as it's not Google's normal 404 page,
