i am impressed with it. very fast on javascript/ajax pages. tested it with our SSL vpn and a range of other sites. also the interface looks really cool. really would like to see the development base for this and if it will catch up with FF ---

Pretty much my experience right now as well. Fast. Faster than FF3. Doesn’t handle in page video exceptionally well. Has a lockup when coming off of full screen during a video playback. Takes 10-15 seconds to come back to responsive. Some minor issues with rendering, plugins, etc. So far a decent start but far from ready. ---

I find it comical how the personalized Google homepage doesn’t load correctly with Chrome. Firefox: ![http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/TgDn32/ffhome1.gif](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/TgDn32/ffhome1.gif) Chrome: ![http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/TgDn32/Chromehome1.gif](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/TgDn32/Chromehome1.gif) ---

Something is messed up on your homepage. My page has tons of stuff and feeds and it loads fine. Even faster loading too. The browser is going to change the way people use the web eventually. They waited to release it and came out with a better way to optimize their services since a browser is what people need. Ya, its buggy sometimes but know that there was no public beta for this. Google used their own infastructure and crawling technology to bombard it with pages to verify that “most” worked correctly. When people find bugs and submit them, it will only help the browser get better. Early IE and Firefox days sucked too but the community was what helped it along and made it into what it is today. Pretty soon Google Labs will have plugins, the bugs will be fixed, and the browser will be optimized but until then, its just a work in progress. It is a step in a right direction. I have a few heavy AJAX sites that choked in FF and IE sometimes but run smoother in Chrome. ---

FF3 workin fine for the time being… I’ll wait for a few more versions to come out and all the bs to get worked out before I consider making the change ---

Read other browsers and sites EULA. Not much different. Google isnt gonna collect what websites you visit and use that information. That EULA is on all their products. If you submit info, they have the right to index it and use it how they want but still have privacy policies. Facebook has the same agreement that people don’t care to realize. Any information you post on there about your intrests, favorite movies, yourself, location, age, etc they own and can sell to marketing companies and basically do anything with. One reason why me and a few friends stopped devloping for Facebook apps was becuase they claim rights to almost anything and can basically come into an app and say “We like your idea. We are gonna code it ourselves into the next version of Facebook and we wont pay you” ---
