Google just launched it's new open source browser yesterday, Chrome. I have had about 24 hours to play with it and work through it. I would STRONGLY suggest that others use it.

Why you ask?

The short answer is that it is more stable, has far better permission restriction than any other browser out there, is faster, and when working with multiple tabs requires far less system resources. If you actually care about how it actually works, want to learn about some of the features, and the development process you can check out the Google Books - About Google Chrome.

It is "beta" but still better than anything else out there. Because it is only a day old there are not any apps written for it yet. Though I expect that to chance soon. So if you can't live with out PicLens or DownloadHelper then stick with FireFox 3.x for now.

My only critique of Chrome is that I can not change the color scheme of the browser.

So go download it.

The concept of multi threading inside of a browser is definitely interesting. With the way things are going in data processing, multi threading is what everything is going to move towards, as it is endlessly more efficient as long as the coding exists to dictate clean and proper orchestration of resources.

I like the look and the clean feet of the browser. The only times where I dislike the browser is when I'm looking at large animated gif files and downloading with the browser seems to eat up a lot of my processor power, Compared to Firefox.

It being in beta, it hasn't crashed yet. I can live with a stable browser that lags 5% of the time :)

Good find.

A toilet and a keg. It needs those. Then it would be perfect.

Google chrome is a piece of fucking garbage because:

Multithreaded browsing. Whoopdee shit, show me a multithreaded flash or java application you dumb cunts. You can load 2 windows of itunes faster at the same time? Kill yourself.

No user published addons. You know, the things that actually make a browser worth using these days. Things like digg bookmarks, or adblock plus.Which leads me to my next point..

No adblocking. Have fucking fun with that. Hope your piece of shit norton is up to date.

It sucks down ram like a nepalese donkey show whore. Its the vista of web browsers, all of that used up with useless graphical interfaces.

No built in proxy option. Hope you don't need one, or you can't even use it at all.

Oh, and heres my favorite. This just got out the last day or so(a day after launch). Any content(ANYTHING) that you publish to the web using chrome.... IS OWNED BY GOOGLE. You have ZERO intellectual property rights to your own content, because you uploaded it with chrome.

Edit, Here is your big chance for a conspiracy casino. This one actually makes sense.

UPDATE 2: Google has updated the ToS and it now states
11. Content license from you

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

12. Software updates ...

The questionable language has been removed entirely. I didn't think it was necessary for Google to step that far back, but it's definitely more in line with the mantra of "Do No Evil." Based on these changes, I can legitimately say that I recommend the download and use of Chrome.

I also want to say that I already said this was going to happen a month ago in this thread! http://yourdeathisourbusiness.com/topic/7022672/15/#new

I quote myself:

"In the near future (within 4 years) there will be an "I-9-11" attack on the internet completely shutting it down. They will then push for an
"I-patriot act" that will completely reform the internet. It will be a highly controlled system of business run websites you can visit at a small price. You will be able to pay a monthly fee to visit a set amount of website like (google youtube yahoo etc). You will also have a restriction on how much you can down load and upload something like 40G per person a day and over that you pay 50c for another GiG. I'll love to see you say how free you are surfing internet 2."

I wish I would put more detail into this paragraph but I didn't to save space. Don't have to watch but good 10 min clip talking about what I am saying and discussing internet2 and internet censorship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9LL6HYavrk

It's not a fucking Conspiracy! You can see it with your own eyes. This is their plan to take away the ultimate tool of freedom in the 21st century the internet and this is how it starts. You think Google is the only company that is going to be doing this? Fools this is just the start. A slow and steady process of incrementalism. I know a lot of people that don't think internet two is around the corner but I think it is, they are already admitedly setting up the infalstructure. Imagine the world that we are slipping into where you have to pay for a selection of websites like TV stations and all other independent sites are subjugated and abused with shitty DL speeds your browsing is monitored and you have no rights to anything on the web.

Sorry I really didn't mean to go off like this, but i've been saying this for 5 years now and I won't be silent.... until warhammer comes out anyway. :)


Thanks Meanrock for the heads up! I uninstalled it and put this in the suggestion box.

Fuck your NWO control over my content you Fascist FUCKS!
DOWN with the NWO!
DOWN WITH GOOGLE!
FUCK YOU!
