I heard about this new Google web browser coming out today.  Anyone try it yet?

Quick overview and some screenshots. The comic book link on their site is down due to bandwidth issues now that everyone is trying to access it.

[echelon]

i've been using it for a while; no issues so far, and it's speedy.  i'm liking what i'm seeing so far.

as a matter of fact, i am using it right now and i like.

dont know why, but on my laptop, i cant scroll with both buttons held down, and i can scroll with the middle button on my mouse when held down either.

Its the bizness.  Wicked fast, and so far, pretty stable.  They've addressed a couple things I hate about FF - no memory bloat, and windows/tabs that crater don't take the whole browser with it.
I don't think it is perfect yet -I saw it had problems rendering some colors on some pages- but it is a pretty good start.

One issue I have, is I usually hide my task bar for windows and when I mouse over the area, it pops up. Can't figure out how to do that with chrome...

rendering shouldn't be an issue, it uses the same engine as safari.

I'm digging it so far.  First problem I've encountered has been on this forum though... 
Type a multi line message (such as this one), click "Preview" and the preview pane displays only one line at a time and the scroll up/down buttons have no scrollbar in-between.

remember what i said about the rendering engine? safari does the same thing. 

hey, at least it's consistent.

looks like this is a known issue with smf:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=204606.0

you should report this in tech issues forum:  http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=17.0

dont know why, but on my laptop, i cant scroll with both buttons held down, and i can scroll with the middle button on my mouse when held down either.

I can scroll fine using the arrow keys but the scroll bar on my touchpad will only scroll down.  So when I reach the bottom of a page, I have to use the arrow keys to scroll back up.  Definitely a pain in the ass, but I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Other than that, I really like the browser.  And Gmail is fast as shit.

I'm in the process of switching all my files over to Google Documents, which is also very cool and works very well with Chrome.

Oh, another gripe I have:  Google toolbar isn't compatible with Chrome.

Holy cow, man. Check out the history & feature - wired write up: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-10/mf_chrome

Trick 1: you've got a few tabs open. Put your mouse over a tab, and drag it down.... and tab 'breaks' away to form it's own window. Each TAB runs independently... so if one crashes, all others are fine!

Trick 2:Create Application Shortcuts. The goal? Your browser IS the operating system!

"The clearest expression of this comes when you drag a tab containing a Web application like Gmail to its own separate window and specify that you want an "app shortcut." At that point, the tabs, buttons, and address bars fall away and the Web app looks pretty much like a desktop app. Welcome to the cloud era."

Finally, the tab bar is ABOVE the address bar. Makes more sense.

Chrome is really slick. I hope they make all the "add-ons" that FF has....
