Google has started to dip its hands into many things now…let’s see how this one plays out

Check out the Google Chrome Terms of Service. Read Paragraph 10.1. Then read the definition of “Services” in Paragraph 1.1. Then tell me what you can legally (if you actually abide by the TOS) view with Chrome. I believe you must conclude that Chrome may be used only for Google services such as Mail, Maps, the search engine — but NOT any non-Google pages even if found by the search engine. Maybe you can legally view the cached pages on the Google servers. That seems to fit within the definition of Services. Google’s lawyers have already been forced to retract a claim to ownership of all YOUR content (older version of Paragraph 11). Perhaps they may be forced to undo this nonsense. I’m sure it is not what Google themselves intended, but their lawyers are overzealous.

Tried it. Like it.

I like the minimal look, and even the beta feels much snappier. I’m looking forward to seeing how other browsers respond.

Chrome is just what devlopers need. It’s not there to replace Firefox (just yet). It can’t, as FF’s main pro is it’s extensions. Until chrome supports extensions and has some compromable to that in Firefox (cough, web dev toolbar, firebug, cough), Firefox hasn’t a worry.

It’s definitely going to be more appealing to an average internet user using IE than to a power Firefox user. It’s what we need to usurp IE. Once these ‘Never used anything but IE’ people have changed their browser once, maybe they’ll be more inclined to change it again (maybe even to firefox).

plus this is great as it’s one more (powerful) vote towards some of the awesome features implemented by the webkit team…now the other rendering engines have something to worry about.

Stop the stupid google bashing, if a different developer released this you wouldn’t complain.

Corporate policy dictates IE here, but I’ve had a play with Chrome – it’s almost worth it for the ‘Find in Page’ function – it highlights every instance of the search item and gives an indication on the scroll bar where each item sits on the page. It’s the little things…

I think few features are missing here “Reload on right click”

It loads up very very fast and cleanly over here (if being in Paris makes any difference).
I don’t read comic books by choice, but it rendered the Chrome explanation ‘easier’ I suppose. However I found the latter technical sub-plots a little wearing; they just seemed to want to show all the development contributors and their enthusiasm.

As to whether I would use it? I would probably keep its use to particular browsing activities as just working on my sites as it remembers what I want easily. FF3 will remain the place where I keep all my diverse pro-info bookmarks, Opera for personal stuff, IE7 for CSS function checks. I just can’t be bothered to replicate them across all browsers, and then forget where I put an important bookmark.

I’m playing around with Chrome on Ubuntu Hardy via VirtualBox, and I have to say I’m quite impressed so far. Runs faster than FF3 running natively, both in terms of page loading times and UI responsiveness.
