What are your impressions on google Chrome Web browser?

http://www.google.com/chrome

It works okay, but it is kind of basic. I think it be a good competitor to Firefox since the design is better then FF.

Kind of weird that Google did not make a linux version since Chrome is an open source Browser.

Yeah, most of google's software is very basic and simple, but their software can be kind of dull at times. But, it works well for basic stuff which is good.

personally i like it, while as stated it is VERY basic, the concept behind it is excellent and unlike fatfox and IE it's a small install and loads up in seconds rather than years for fatfox

currently i'd say it's a good browser just depends where it goes but iffatfox can be made 30seconds faster, 50% lighter in memory then it would be a worthy competitor

I like how Chrome is resourceful with the GUI, There isn't a task bar, and the status bar is not always on the bottum of the browser.

The bookmarks and autofill needs improvement. I still like avant's bookmarking, and autofills better. It be cool if google offers online storage like avant browser.

It looks OK judging by that photo but I am happy with FF3.

Been using chrome a bit more recently due to getting annoyed with a couple of browsers,

So some stuff i have noticed between Fat fox and chrome

Chrome is a hell of a lot faster than fatfox but that's hardly

though chrome does have ALOT of issues with text input areas

Chrome renders html correctly (i don't mean standards compliant but when something is supposed to be centred it's centred)

Fatfox will always have speed issues because it's a pile of crap, and the mozilla foundation will continue to blame "Microsoft" for these issues,

Chrome has promise, Fatfox has a pair of concrete shoes and heading out to sea
