Microsoft is going to loose this battle, Firefox lead the way with Google backing it while it built the tools to compete. The future of Chrome is no more need for our own PC’s when all we need is a password and a browser. Google actually scares me they becoming so big on the web.

I am sure that Chrome will incorporate much of Firefox’s features as Google owns the rights to Firefox. We all know that Google develops multiple products doing the same thing. But eventually they normally merge them together. Watch for it, Firefox will disappear as Chrome gains traction.

It impressive but lack many features provided by other browsers FF and Opera. Opera is my favorite browser. Chrome is stylish and does not support importing bookmarks from Opera that is the sad part. Though, in beta phase let’s see the future builds will have these features.

Well Done!

I was quite excited to install Google Chrome as soon as it was available for public download. However, I am bit disappointed after few hours of use.

I agree that Chrome is light weight and fast. I could open more than 30 tabs and still working fine.

What disappointed me most is, it crashed after few minutes of use. See this Google chrome reviews to find more about the Google chrome crash report - http://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/35865-Google-chrome-reviews.aspx

From Google Chrome: Cloud Operating Environment:
“All we need to do now is load it on to a (free) operating system like Linux and wire it up to cloud storage (ala Mozilla Weave) for preferences (eg bookmarks, history) and user files (eg uploads, downloads) and we have a full blown Cloud Operating System!”

Great points, I think cloud computing and processing is definitely the future — it’s been slow going, given that I remember installing SETI on my old PC in 2000.

Google chrome is definitely faster than IE and I like the overall look. As the guys above mentioned, the Fonts does not look clear at all.

Also, I do not agree that Chrome is more stable than IE. Chrome also keep crashing just like IE.

See some Google chrome reviews here which shows screenshots of the crash reports

Agreed, this is a huge first step, but as with all new products, there are bugs to work out. I’m excited to see Google branching out and trying some new things though; certainly if any company is able to bring a little innovation to an already heated issue, it’s Google.

Flash seems to be a problem (when is it not), tested it on finance.google.com and problems were plenty. Now if Google would build a better vector engine that would substitute Adobe crap, it would be something. I have to say that the speed is jaw dropping, didn’t think it was even possible to speed things up this much.

Well I do have to admit it is faster than Firefox. However while browsing with it I saw some things I needed that cannot be attained by the browser. The WOT addon is a necessity for me when browsing because it tells me if a site is safe or malicious. Also I see ads when online, which was pretty annoying. With Firefox I was able to block every ad I saw.
