New Browser from Google (Chrome)

[AirWolf]

I was using Opera a few months ago actually. Tried it out for a month and gave it up because nothing seems to work properly. Plus FF3 add-ons do all its best features perfectly well. System was XP Home.

Please be more specific.

I've used Opera on Windows 98, XP, Vista and on Mandriva and it is my default browser on all.

I like chrome. It is stupid that it gets the proxy settings from ie (internet properties), though.

More specific, hm, I really can't remember. I had a long conversation about it at one time, perhaps I can dredge that up to see what my opinions were. It's like Opera is full of great ideas that never quite come to fruition.

Ah here we go. That's right, it just seems to be too incompatible with too many things: shockwave, Google Gears, Google Apps. My conclusion was that it was a flawed gem.

So perhaps hate is too strong a word, if it mollifies you. Let's say greatly disappointed.

hello.

use google chrome and when I had 3 Chrome windows open, each with multiple tabs. One of the tabs locked up and crashed, and it took down all 3 browser windows along with the tabs.

At least if Firefox 3 crashes it offers to reload all the pages you had opened previously. Chrome offered nothing after the crash.

haha, I thought the fact that each tab runs in its own process was to avoid exactly that.

Thats the impression I got as from reading all the articles --> one tab crashes; only that tab closes.

Has anyone noticed Chrome network activity?
I have netmeter to monitor the amount of traffic going through, and in Chrome a page will load completely, the circle at the top of the tab stops circling, but then when I look at the netmeter it still downloading data for 3 or 4 seconds afterwards, it seems way more heavy on cap to me. Opera doesn't do that.
Anyone else noticed anything like this?
