(Sorry if you’re on a Mac.)

Finally something that does not get in your way! But I have discovered one thing I don’t like about it: it does not let me click the scroll wheel and then go up or down the page by just moving the mouse (if that makes sense).

You’re right, it doesn’t. They’re sure to iron that out though.

Where are the AD BLOCKING features?

“Where are the AD BLOCKING features?”

;o)

I switched after 1 hour of using it. Uninstalled Firefox. A few glitches here and there but it’s worth it.

So no one minds the EULA?

They’ve already backed down on Section 11 of the EULA.

Ah good. That is the bit that really had me wondering. I will probably try it once it is available for the mac, but more than likely I’ll stick with Safari. The design is a little elementary for my taste.

I like overriding default fonts and you can’t really do that well in Google Chrome. Currently, I’m running pages in FF with Cambria and I love it!

I switched strate from IE to Chrome. Never bothered with Firefox because it never offered a significant enuff advantage over IE to make it worthwhile. Both IE and Firefox have major shortcomings.

Anybody want to post a comparison of Chrome to Safari and Opera?

What ads? I’m not getting any ads in Chrome.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that Chrome is really a stripped down version of FF.”

Well, it’s based on WebKit, so it’s more related to Safari than Firefox.

Google has been (and will continue to be) a major financier of Firefox, so it’s an odd decision on their part. The theo
