Google Chrome

[Jenny Z]

New web browser!

I've been playing with it, I like it alot. It's super fast, and really simplistic in its design.

Only downside I can see is that it doesn't have addons, but it's still in beta, so I'm sure that will change.

Neat stuff.

Not me! I have my standards! I ain't selling out to them. Well...for the right price, I would.

Have you read the TOS for chrome? Check out #2 here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10...=2547-1_3-0-20

I'm not sure if this is leveraged off of other TOS that they have or what, but it's kind of scary to me.

Whoah.... ouch. Nevermind.

[Jenny Z]

Seriously, is that even legal?

[Daniel Bates]

Sure, it's legal. They could make up anything they want and put it in a EULA. Nobody HAS to use the software...



With terms like that, I think I'll just stick with Firefox.

I downloaded it to try and was not impressed at all. Very basic and I like the navigation features much more on IE and Firefox. It's now been uninstalled.

I knew there was something behind the curtain; just didn't know what it was.

No thanks, Google.

After that bit of info I'll stick with FireFox FTW!

FF3 > *

[thorin]

I agree, I will stick with FireFox. But, Google is making the Evil Empire think! That has got to be a good thing.

[Joe_Lorenzini]

I've got it loaded and when they say it's fast they're not kidding. The thing smokes! The difference is considerable.

Love the minimal interface although I'm having issues with bookmarks...

This is whats so bad:

"By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give 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 which you submit, post or display on or through, the services.

I take that to mean, if I'm using Chrome to surf the web and post a picture here, they have a "perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce..." Um sorry...not gonna let them use my stuff to make money off of without paying me first.

It's not color managed, so I guess I will stay with FF3 until it becomes color managed..
