Google already changed the ToS back, but before it said that anything you put on the web using the browser belonged to Google - because they had just copy and pasted from one of their other services which had such a clause.

I have seen several times that Chrome loads pages about three times as fast as IE.
This is our game. And George is our hero.

Hmm... It's a little too... helpful. . I just inputted "Neuroha" and it filled in the rest for me. I see there is no add to dictionary on the spell checker.

Personally I think Google maybe going a bit to far. But I like Firerfox better personally

Actually that's their website, not their browser.

I have 1 word for you, Newsgator. Almost as good as a built in rss feature, bonus: from any computer or browser.

just tried Google Chrome, and went into shock... it's VERY different and seems too small and efficient, lacking customizations and features i depend on(like always activate new tab, or mouse gestures, among others). a problem compounded by me not using any other browser in what seems like forever. in time it may have them perhaps, and i will then snatch it up.

EDIT: forgot to mention it doesn't respons to the scroll wheel up on my machine for some reason... and that "phpBB: critical error" is realy getting anoying, but that's another topic.

I installed it and ...

Whats so cool about having the tabs on the top of the window ?
googleupdater continues to annoy me with callings home, although the browser is not running ? and in fact I canncelled the process in the msconfig.exe ... do they really want to update it all the day ?
The installer might be quite small but it downloaded some files ...
and at last I dont understand why there is this safer-surf-button - it only deletes history and history - this might be useful for cybercafé but not for personal customers

can someone tell me how to scroll to tabs with the keyboard ?

Sheltem

What do you think about the endless stream of spawns ?

What about modding wandering spawns which dont attack the player directly ?
