Vista - Google Launch Browser - Chrome

I've tried Chrome too - who could resist it after reading this thread

It's good and fast and takes very little time to learn and customise (not many choices).

Trouble is, I miss all my Firefox addons, such as Adblock Plus, Stylish, All-in-One Sidebar, and No Squint (resize the text with or without changing image sizes, and it remembers your font size preference per website)

In particular I miss being able to put the tab bar down the left side, which is very useful if you have a wide monitor. When it's along the top and you have several tabs open, they shrink so much you can't read them. Having it down the side it's a long list of wide readable tabs.
In Opera, that's a built-in choice I think. In Firefox you can do it by editing userchrome.css or by using one of several add-ons such as Tab Kit.

It will be interesting to see whether Google will add a few more options or just keep it this simple. At least its open source, so I guess a tweaking community will develop modifications after a while.

Not enough yet, Echrada

Berserker, Your downloading the beta Java Development Package...The latest availible Java is Version 6 Update 7

Does Google Chrome giveaway the personal information to third party. I was using Chrome to get some quotation in a website and immediately I received few phone calls from people who sell Insurance, Equity etc. I don't know whether this is coincidence and I would like to know if any of you experienced this.

I can't imagine Google would take the risk of breaching your privacy like that. They know lots of paranoid, or at least very watchful, people will scrutinize what their new browser does.

Maybe you gave some indication of your ID to the website where you got the quotation and they could look up your phone number. In other words it would have happened the same if you were using Firefox or Internet Explorer.

The browser is open source, if it did report stuff like that we would all know about it very quickly.

They got into some hot water over their EULA, which I understand they're changing? Here's the language of their original version:wow...
Google on Chrome EULA controversy: our bad, we'll change it

That was changed within a few hours of it being spotted.

True, but doesn't this sort of give us an idea about how Google views our personal info? I mean, they didn't just on their own change it, right?

Their explaination was that is was just a generic EULA.

If they wanted to spy on us surely it would be easier with some of the none open source apps they have like the google toolbar or google desktop.

Thanks for pointing that out. However, update 7 didn't work for me and several others. We had to use update 10 (the beta package) to make Java work in Chrome.
