besides the fact that this has already been removed....

How many copy rights do you own? If what your posting to the web is not copyrighted they can take it and use it anyways. Its a pretty weak thing to have in the use agreement, but the VAST majority of people who were freaking out about it are completely unaffected by it, even if google meant it to be there.

As I said though, I definitely support it being removed for those who are working with copyrighted material... Its just that so many of the people saying they would never use it because of it could never really be effected by it anyways.

Decided to try it out, I'm not noticing much difference from Opera (aside from the interface of course), but it looks much, much cleaner. Checked my system processes, Chrome runs with way fewer resources than Opera apparently, both having only one tab open. I think I might stick to this, so far I like it. Even has a spell checker, nice.

Well, I just checked again, comparing how much it takes to run Opera vs Chrome, and the numbers are relatively the same. I don't know what it is, but it seems that Opera takes up only a little bit of resources to run one second, and then next second, it jumps to over 100k. At any rate, I think I may be using Chrome as my default browser for some time.

Edit: Oh yeah, can I enable mouse gestures for Chrome anywhere? I've gotten kind of used to opening/closing tabs on Opera with the gestures, so it'd be nice if Chrome had support for them somewhere (assuming it doesn't).

Where is the spell check? I NEED spell check, one of the bigger things keeping me from using it.

Its almost too minimalist, seems like anything you want to use you have to find... but that is also just getting used to something new...

My laptop has 3rd party mouse gesture software, not on it so I cant give more info, but google around for that...

I was typing my post and I made a mistake, and it underlined it for me, when I right clicked it, it had the word suggestions.

They released Chrome for Windows, are porting it to OSX, and gave the source code to the Linux community. How much more can you want?

This is a fresh browser, if you compare it to the others. It's centred around what the internet is today, and not what it was 10 years ago (the time when other browsers were being made). They're trying to freshen up the browser market by creating competition. Competition is essentially an incentive for improvement. Google is also constantly being competed with. The source of income of Google is ads - and the rest of their products are mostly fresh things to liven up the internet market - to add some competition. What's wrong with that?

They're becoming a monopoly (they practically are for ads) - but their company policy is based on being fair to users. They keep themselves in check. They have a fresh look on things - so I ask you, why not?

I was really sceptical about this browser, and only downloaded it after several people telling me I absolutely had to. Now that I've tried it, I've ditched Firefox - it's much faster and a shitload more convenient. I'm looking forward to RSS and API support - but I have to say that for an initial release, this is pretty amazing.

*Forgot to add:
They patched up the User Agreement.

PS: The mere fact that you check 4chan is worrying... D:

I'm not gonna try it until most of the initial bugs are worked out. Not sure if this security flaw has been fixed yet. I'll wait a month or two before I try it out.

Yeah, but you have to run the program that has been downloaded manually to for that to be a flaw...
