    There's new browser in town :)
    It's from google.
    The link to download this : http://www.google.com/chrome
    Is there anyone using this browser?

    I tried it but didn't think to highly of it... If a lot of people start using it though, I guess I'll have to try it again.

    I'm not a big fan. It runs really slow for me and is more difficult to use than FF :(

    I've stumbled upon this and want to share to everyone :)
    This is a javascript benchmark between 3 browser..
    The 1st is Chrome, 2nd is FF, 3rd is IE.
    This doesn't reflect how fast the browser is but only javascript...

    aereon so whats the verdict of that test? You must have an old version of IE because the new one seems to be alot slower than firefox.

    Lower = faster lol. (So the fastest is Chrome, followed by firefox, and then IE(slowest).)

    The ownership thing was removed, but it's pretty sketchy that it was there in the first place.

    As for the second link........ XD

    I hear dabout this, but I haven't bothered to download. Supposedly it's like a culmination of everything good about Ff, Safari, Netscape, Avant, etc. etc. etc., with a couple google tidbits thrown in.

    I'll probably wait til they iron out the kinks.

    Oh yes thats a downside to it. Firefox add-ons don't work for it which is why Im back on firefox until chrome is able to use them or add-ons come out for chrome.

    Like I said in the Chat before it looks very chunky :\.
    Though I guess skins can be changed etc.

    Addons are a must, I can't do what I do without them o_O.

    Nothing yet has really given me the drive to download chrome yet, so... Until they really get it published and finished then maybe i'll give it a try.

    I suppose it will come in handy when transfering my stuff over many accounts so I can have more clients and thus proxies :D.
