    I just found out about it and downloaded it.

    It is a new Internet browser.

    I think I will stick with Foxfire for now.

    If you are curious go to google and get the link.

    I was wondering what your first impression of it was.

    Downloaded it.Couldn't be bothered to figure out the differences.
    Seems to have some interesting, maybe quicker features.
    But slowed me down-due to my lack of knowledge.

    Firefox was always ok.But I use Lucifer's own Explorer.

    I'm perfectly content with the Fox. Tried Opera but didn't like it as much. I'll probably download Chrome eventually.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome


    Chrome sends details about its usage to Google through both optional and non-optional user tracking mechanisms.

    Method - RLZ identifier[64]

    Infomation - Encoded string, may contain anything.

    When * Every 24 hours * On Google search query * When "significant events occur"

    When IS NOT OPTIONAL.

    I would not use any software from Google. Using Google as a search engine is bad enough as they're very much in bed with the Federal government and keep records on what people search.

    I use both Firefox and IE8.

    I still use Internet explorer. I tried Firefox once because it was recommended to me multiple times by the nerds but since I didn't really have complaints in the first place I stick with what I'm used to. Works fine :cheers2:

    I downloaded it months ago, but like most of you, I really didn't like it. I deleted it the same day.

    Was it functionality or what?

    I'm curious because while I don't really trust the source, somebody told me it was supposed to stream line internet browsing so that you could run dozens of pages simultaneously and flawlesslessly....

    Is that statement even somewhere near reality, or is it just garbage all around?

    I prefer Opera to anything else. It's sleek and fast.
    ...I'd miss my basketball widget if I didn't have it. Sometimes shooting hoops while I wait on something is exactly the kind of simple activity I'm looking for.

    I use Firefox too sometimes.

    I tried chrome because it is lighter than firefox and so would load up faster on this machine.

    I prefer firefox though.

    I've been using Chrome for a bit now and though it has it's quirks, I've had little to complain about. It's timestamped history was a handy way to find out our ex-roomate had been snooping my email.
