The Cloud’s Chrome Lining

IE is much faster in speed tests for downloads. Uploads are pretty much the same though. I do find pages come up much faster when using Chrome. So, as I browse more than download Chrome is the browser of choice for me. But, I always have IE if I want to use it too. I'm sure there will be many improvements also.

As a Artist Chrome is fast being a friend for surfing in researching. In a age of multi-tasking Chrome can almost move as fast as my thoughts without crashing as other browsers often do. Watch for virtual surfing via thoughts in the future. The creative mind breaking the sound barrier.

The book marks are great on Chrome. Since I also love basketball the first thing I did was to bookmark a few favorite basketball videos. This is for everyone to enjoy ...

You are wrong about not being able to organize bookmarks. I have mine grouped into 28 different folders across the top of the browser on the Bookmarks Bar. You can drag a bookmark into any of those folders or from one folder to another. Also there is an option to add a homepage button for a default home page.

I've been using chrome daily and love every minute of it. You can organize your bookmarks. There is 'Google bookmarks' plug in..

Google Chrome will within 24 hours anonymize on its servers an individual user's keystrokes that it has recorded. Regular Google Search will anonymize a general users search logs, stored on its servers, after nine months. Account based Google Search (e.g. those who have a Gmail account who did not opt out of Web History when they signed up) does not anonymize an individual users search logs. Back-up copy of emails sent via Gmail are maintained on Google's Servers permanently. I suspect that Google as it ventures into MS territory does not want to risk losing the huge amounts of data that it is currently, without challenge, accumulating and storing on each of its users.

@Cantrip: It's not that it uses more processing power. Link Windows NT4 vs. Windows 95, multiple processes take more RAM, not more processing power.

However, Chrome is so incredibly light that it ends up using less RAM and processing power than Firefox anyway (on virgin installations), at least in my experience. I *think* Chrome would be much more suited to a weaker processor, but I could be wrong. Worst case scenario, you try it, you don't like it, and you switch back.

Chrome is definitely just a piece of Google's larger strategy to break the world's dependence on Microsoft and build their dependence on Google.

If you look across all of the free applications and services they've rolled out over the past few years, it's clear that they are building a full environment of development tools, a web operating platform and now an "interface to interact with users" by way of Chrome.

As a browser, Chrome is following Google's strategy of "release early and integrate often" so we can expect it to mature very quickly, especially since it's open source and anyone can develop for it.

It is going to be very interesting to watch Microsoft and Google battle it out over the next few years.

I tried out Chrome and red the comic book [http://blogoscoped.com/google-chrome/ ] about how it works and was impressed the fact that each tab is a separate process. I use yahoo finance to chart stocks as they have some nice flash interactive charts. The only problem is that they can hangup and crash my browser which was firefox. Now only the tab that I opened crashes and that saves me some time. The review above is pretty accurate but you can organize the book marks by right clicking on the "Other bookmarks" icon on the top right of the page. I like Chrome a lot and have pretty much switched over to it from firefox which I liked a lot better than IE6 because of the popup blocking. Its a nice reorganization of the browser and thought out from scratch.
I have not had many problems with it in the last 3 days since I downloaded it and tried it out. I think Google
has a winner here.

I'm using Chromium nightly builds because Chrome Beta crashed on load for me. It's now my favorite browser. It's so light and fast it has almost replaced Firefox for me. =/ Firefox is still my main browsing browser (web apps and external links from other apps are run in Chromium). My all-in-one browser will be decided when (a) Mozilla makes FF faster or (b) Chrome implements an add-on system and garners a massive community. I think the former is more likely, especially since Chrome is open source, but some day Chrome might be a great full-on browser. Of course I will never use Opera since, in my experience, it's heavier than Chrome and less functional than Firefox. Sure, it's a great median between the two, but I'd rather have full functionally, full speed, or both; no compromise.
