I'm gonna install Chrome in my mom's PC and see what she thinks, that's the best review. She didn't like Firefox.

We detect webkit as best as we can, will need to look tomorrow to see what useragent its sending and what the javascript engine returns as the vendor.

User agent ($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] or navigator.userAgent)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13

Vendor (navigator.vendor)

Apple Computer, Inc.

So it identifies itself almost like Safari except for the 'Chrome' in the UA.

I'll try it out on my Windows side, but I can't stand the icon. Blech

Hmm, it'd be nice if Firefox had some of these features by default. Maybe 3.5? Here's hoping.

I do like the sad tab, though. I feel so sorry for it, it's just so sad.

Here's the official Chrome group on Google Groups if anyone is looking for it

I been using it now for an hour, and I like it, a lot. It is fast, slick, and so far, pages that appear a little different between FF, Opera, and IE display correctly in Chrome.

The top layout (lack of the standard tool bar for ex.) takes a bit to get used to, but the more you use Chrome, the less you notice the layout differences.

Anyone knows of good reviews/opinions/discussions about Chrome right now? I'm curious to know what other people think about it.

edit: jesus I just did a google search on Chrome and it was so fast I thought the page didn't change.

But you can drag the textarea to resize it!

You can do that in Safari too.

Haven't played with it yet... most likely will later today or tomorrow.

Seems pretty basic - but least it works and so far seems more standards compliant than ie!

So, vBulletin loads just fine of course. Just no wysiwyg editor it seems.

I'm hiding nothing. Really!

But I dont want Google to collect how I'm surfing to present me ads that fit my interests. I HATE ads!

And I dont want Google to make money with my Internet Usage. That's all

EVERYONE says that. But sorry, I want to decide on my own what Google knows about me and what not... That's just what I mean.
No matter if I do something nobody should know or not - it's just my privacy.

What are you hiding :P.

Nothing amazing about Chrome atm really. It is slightly faster I think.

but at the same time I don't have anything to hide....
