I love it. Maybe it's just because I just used an adblocker, GameFOX, and an improved google & gmail mod (read: not life or death mods), but man, this is REALLY REALLY GOOD. It is AMAZING GOOD, to me. It's fast, lightweight, and the bookmarks thing I got over after toggling the option for it to appear in a thin bar.

It loads the forums in half the time than FireFox does for me, as well. Overall, I like it more than FireFox & Opera on a first time basis, and I'm sure I'll love it more when customizations come out (plugins), and I really customize the options for me.

I've been stuck on "Initialising" for five minutes now. Did it take this long for you guys?

EDIT: In the installer, I mean.

I wonder if they record every page you go on then sell the information to advertising companies.
I don't think even data-hungry google is going to try this without it being explicitly mentioned on an open source thing

edit: I'm liking it, everything seems to JUMP ABOUT more as the page's images are loading than in opera but it's nice looking. There's lots of SWOOSHING of interface elements and stuff ^___^. Also I'd have preferred it if they'd just used native os window controls rather than these vista clone ones but w/e

Downloading files is pretty cool. It does some crazy animation to make you feel better about your lost bandwidth.

I feel a bit sorry for the developers of Firefox now.

Also lol at this:

It's fucking sweet, but anyone with a laptop/Synaptics touchpad have issues with scrolling? It scrolls down REALLY fast and doesn't scroll up at all for me.
Once that's fixed, I'm switching to it.

Scrolling in general, is really really fast.

EDIT:
For all the conspiracy people, you can disable it sending usage stats to google right out of the box.

Does Chrome have that huge Google Chrome Image near the top of the browser for every page like in the pic next to the download?

What?

The first thing it does when you set it up is import your FireFox bookmarks, passwords, and history.

WRENCH BUTTON -> IMPORT BOOKMARKS.

It occasionally spikes up to 50% cpu usage when I'm not even using it and have 1 tab open, continuing with opera until this isn't a piece of shit
