Dujun Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Why is it running one process for the browser itself, then one for shockwave and then one for each tab? Mine is currently running 5 processes with 3 tabs open.. I don't like that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum Error Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 google mail absolutely flies now! I am really, really impressed with the UI in vista. Definatley looks better in windowed tho. Loving the application shortcuts idea - i now have a shortcut to google mail that will launch just like a stand alone program. Thank you google.

-KJ Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I hope they have a way to skin it without the use of plug-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aahz Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Not good. It feels like a Fisher Price product. It's rendering slowly (false alarm was just Neowin lol), screen tearing all over the place (looks to be image heavy sites which tear...probably a smooth scroll issue as with IE/FF), extremely limited in terms of settings, it managed to import my search engines and bookmarks but totally lost all of my RSS feeds and I can't even find where to set the homepage. (not that their default one isn't interesting I'd just much rather use my own) It really feels like I'm stuck in friggin baby mode or something. :no: On the good side: you can right click on the tab bar and see a task manager which seperates out tabs and even has nerd stats like mem usage (their words not mine), I love the status bar, and the new homepage is kinda growing on me although I'd still prefer my own. (it feels kinda like the bookmarks section of the Opera browser on the Wii) Overall it's quite limited and I can't forsee it replacing Firefox without a lot of work put into it. Firefox with addons actually changes the way in which people experience the web and Chrome looks to be more of a Safari clone but even further simplified. A solid effort that my grandma will like but not for a poweruser as of yet. Edited September 2, 2008 by Aahz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedJoker Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Looks nice. Options look a bit basic but the layout is neat and minimal. Nice subtle effects with smart fade-outs and the text in the menu and bookmarks bar is nice. It also did a good job of importing passwords and bookmarks from FF3.01. Hopefully the extended functionality from plugins will add to the Chrome experience and provide most customization options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindlabel013 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks! You're right, it does look much better in Windows Vista. I'm pretty jealous of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Where have you been though? Because Neowin is horribly slow. Try some other sites. Load times are ridiculously fast for me, just like with Webkit.Also, you shouldn't have any Firefox type memory leak because of the multiprocess design. yeah neowin is going pretty slow in ff for me.

Julius Caro Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 the fact that it is sexy as shiz in vista is a PLUS. not even mozilla got it together, although there's an amazing add on :D but it's slow. and neowin is VERY slow :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasker Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Piece of ****, I installed this on my mom's xp computer and the quality is just garbage, this should be an alpha quality version, not even a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted September 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2008 (My) 1st post from Chrome! For posterity, it was post #34,889. Umm. It seems slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2008 There's no font smoothing and no smooth scrolling, but, otherwise, it's already a better browser than Safari (PC), if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septimus Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Soooo sloooowwwww. Well, compared to Safari 4 or Firefox 3. Seems about as quick as IE8. Promising start though. Everything Google wise works very well unsurprisingly. Shame about the rest of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
