) I like the Chrome approach to "gears" and common development environments but I've heard that story before 
Try it again. Chrome was faster for me over IE in 6 attempts. Anyway, I don't think this is the faster that they are talking about. It's very "snappy" and opening multiple tabs doesn't feel like the system thinks it's a chore. Very impressed thus far.stopthekilling77 wrote:

i thought speedtest was more of a measurement for your connection speed (dsl, cable, t1, etc) than for measuring browser speed?Bwall wrote:Try it again.

click the link for the rest ;)Google's Chrome Privacy Policy is a wonder of disclosure. By using Chrome, Google will know way more about my surfing habits than my wife—or, gulp, me.
I've just got to excerpt from this document: "When you type URLs or queries in the address bar, the letters you type are sent to Google so the Suggest feature can automatically recommend terms or URLs you may be looking for."
Can you say keylogger? What else could "the letters you type" mean?
Now make sure you read this paragraph at least twice:
"Your copy of Google Chrome includes one or more unique application numbers. These numbers and information about your installation of the browser (e.g., version number, language) will be sent to Google when you first install and use it and when Google Chrome automatically checks for updates. If you choose to send usage statistics and crash reports to Google, the browser will send us this information along with a unique application number as well."
WTH? Application numbers? Well, well, browsing is a whole lot less anonymous with Chrome. Why is there no uproar? Microsoft got hammered by the news media in 2001 because Windows XP appeared to send user identifiable activation numbers during setup. Google is identifying your browser with a unique number. What would prevent that number from being associated with a Google ID for Gmail or related service?
All of the mentioned can be turned off as explained here; http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.htmlKnightRid wrote:It is fast because there is no bloatware in it, yet.

I installed it, checked it out, then uninstalled it. I also wrote on the uninstall form that Google is turning more and more into MS everyday with collecting data on everything you do...its sad really. If they stop the keylog crap, I will try it out again, but not until then.

wonder if spyware programs will start finding it as a threat..lol..just thought about that one
It shouldnt be on in the first place ;) How many people will take the time to find out about turning it off - I wont/didnt and I doubt many more will.Darkstar wrote: All of the mentioned can be turned off as explained here; http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.html
would be nice to have a nice preferences menu when it is done.The text in question, contained in Section 11 of the Chrome Terms of Service, allows users to retain copyright of their work, but grants Google a “perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content” created with Chrome.
