@jambarama: Nice find! I will need to check out greasemetal. :)

@dpgodct.od: Yeah, I was just saying the option is missing from the tab right click context menu. The feature is indeed supported by the browser.

“Undo close tab” works with “Ctrl+Shift-t”, the same as in FF

Just a side note, thanks to the open nature of chrome, someone has already released a beta version of GM for chrome, called “greasemetal.” And you can block ads with privoxy, though it isn’t as good as adblock plus. So chrome isn’t replacing FF for me any time soon, but we’re getting there…

Same comment from me than for most people. I didn’t try it because it is not on Linux or Win2K (the only OS I use). I will probably install it on my gf Win XP computer, just to see if it is faster than FF3. The rational being that she has memory usage issues and that she is bad at tab browsing. The position of the address field in Chrome might help her a bit.

I might use it myself if and only if they have a Linux version which supports Firefox extensions or similar ones (FoxMarks being the absolute necessity for me).

Chrome seems like the ideal mobile browser as far as the UI. If it ever gets ported to Linux, I hope it also gets ported to Maemo (my N800!). But even then, MicroB on the N800 supports Adblock Plus and Greasemonkey, which Chrome is missing.

@George Toms: Yup, it is pretty fast. The new TraceMonkey engine from Mozilla is comparable but V8 wins on recursion at the moment because TraceMonkey does not optimize for it.

Google Chrome is really fast!

Now I can sort 200,000 records inside of Browser (Chrome) just in 1 sec. (Faster than Microsoft Excel):

Yeah, I saw that the other day but wouldn’t stop me from testing the thing. This is yet another example that no one actually reads EULA’s – not even the people who put them in their software, or the QA people who are supposed to catch shit like that during testing and reviews.

Oh well, at least they removed it and apologized. I mean, it’s not like they need to own your content – they just need to index it. I wonder whether or not we will find some secret spy module in that browser one day that reports your browsing habits back to the lords of search. :P

This is what kept me from checking the software out.

LOL! Chrome detects as Safari on OSX. I guess I’ll have to update the plugin again. :)
