Hurmoth Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I must say, it doesn't use a lot of memory. Currently with 5 tabs open (one using Flash) it is only taking up about 49MB while the same tabs open Firefox uses nearly 110MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Only works with Java 6 update 10. Not sure why they decided to support a beta plugin. Many websites use the Java plug-in. Google Chrome requires Java version 6, update 10. Please note that this is currently a beta version and may be more unstable than some previous version of Java. To download this beta version of Java, visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 61/100 on Acid 3 EDIT: 63 in the second try ... Thought WebKit scored much higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 61/100 on Acid 3 EDIT: 63 in the second try ...Thought WebKit scored much higher? Chrome is using an old version of WebKit, which is probably why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObiWanToby Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Is there an additional installer with Chrome? chrome_installer.exe http://cache.googlevideo.com/chrome/instal...e_installer.exe installed chrome, but javascript isn't running.

Ricardo Gil Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) So far it seems to work well. Mobile Me mail works as good as on Firefox 3, Hotmail on the other hand only works in classic mode. Looking good for a Beta. --- Unfortunately by using WebKit, things like ASP2.0 Menu elements come out all wrong :( Edited September 2, 2008 by Ricardo Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Okay, I downloaded the installer from home and loaded it up on my Live Mesh space and installed it at work. Damn, this thing flies! I'm loving it so far ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbauer Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Is there an additional installer with Chrome? chrome_installer.exe http://cache.googlevideo.com/chrome/instal...e_installer.exe installed chrome, but javascript isn't running. Could be. You probably have to get past the first step in order to get to the next area. If someone could mirror the one installer, that would be a great start.

sbauer Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That single installer by itself doesn't seem to work. I got chrome running, but nothing really works correctly, javascript simply isn't running. What I want to do is forward cache.googlevideo.com to a local address to bypass the proxy. I'll then setup the same directory structure to see if it attempts to download anything else. I'm not going to install it directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got chrome running, but nothing really works correctly, javascript simply isn't running. Worked fine on this machine and three of my virtual machines, even managed to get it to run in Wine :D Working out how to run it on a Mac now, give me like, another half an hour As for JavaScript, seams to only affect certain machines, Java and Javascript both work fine here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetunks, yeah I am wondering if that installer requests something else or what. I mean, I can't even load neowin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbauer Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Alright. Got it installed. Thanks for the mirror. I didn't run it directly. I just modified the hosts file to point cache.googlevideo.com to 127.0.0.1 then setup the same folder structure with the exe. The setup then downloaded the local exe and installed it without an issue. Cool let me know how that goes.Vegetunks, yeah I am wondering if that installer requests something else or what. I mean, I can't even load neowin.... Works well. Just posted this using Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See screenshot, Chrome with Neowin.net loaded with a painfully obvious chrome_installer.exe file on the desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hated how Windows does that.... You could always replace the icon resources with the firefox/IE resources and refresh the icon cache?
