    Its a pity that chrome was not built to be completely CSS3 compatible i.e. to completely pass the ACID3 test that would have made it stand from IE7/8 and FF3.

    Loving the EULA:

    Interesting topic here about it. Maybe it's just boilerplate stuff for the time being, but some interesting interpretations of what it could mean.

    Also - from their privacy statement:
    Your copy of Google Chrome includes one or more unique application numbers

    Is that normal?

    I'm not sure if you're being intentionally patrionising, but no-one is giving reasons to switch, especially before trying it out.

    Wasn't at all trying to be patronising; some of the posts did give reasons why some may switch "simplicity" "stability" "firefox tends to crash"
    The point we were discussing was if Chrome would make a dent in the market i.e. if web users would switch.


    Chrome suffers first security flaw, that was quick...

    Different perspectives.

    Yep. I don't read C&T - only programming and web dev.

    I downloaded it for some reason and to be honest its great. I've been on IE 7 and always used IE (I find firefox chunky and slow - not to mention the missing things such as java and flash dont install very easily)

    Chrome seems to be a lot faster.

    It's pretty good, but I've moved my non-work email away from google just now.
    I don't really fancy them being a one for all internet services provider.

    A - Only for developers. Noone else would care.
    B - It's based on the webkit rendering engine. They didn't write a new one.
    C - CSS3 isn't even a finished spec yet, so that's not even possible to create a CSS3 browser.

    Just installed Chrome on my work pc there and went to http://acid3.acidtests.org/

    It gave a score of 76/100 but failed a link test. What exactly does this mean?

    At home, it imported my bookmarks from Firefox 3 without any problems. Although it doesnt give any errors on my PC at work, there are no bookmarks imported...
