One thing you failed to notice is that I was testing the Linux versions of all browsers to provide reliable results, it would be pointless for me to install Windows version of Chrome if a native one is available, wouldn't it? Then your review is irrelevent because nobody cares about the Linux version of anything, and if somebody did care, they wouldn't need a review because they would just do this shit themselves. On February 03 2010 15:43 Manit0u wrote: Google did a rather bad job with the Linux version of their browser though as not only it failed with flash (while both Opera and FF had no trouble with it and didn't even require me to do anything, they're fully usable right after installation) but with other things too: - it failed to locate folder for downloads as for unknown reason it was looking for a folder called Downloads in my home directory by default (and I don't have such folder) - it failed to check if it's the default browser and shown a red error in the options screen that it is even unable to perform this check The Windows version doesn't have this problem. See my above comments about getting a real browser.

Like I mentioned, in Chrome, whenever you're trying to transmit some data (open a new page or do stuff on it) it displays things that usually are displayed in the statusbar on the screen which distracts you (if something pops-up on your screen every now and then it's bound to draw your attention). I don't know if constant annoying distraction is a good tradeof for this 10-12 pixels at the bottom of the page. INSTALL WINDOWS. IT'S ALL THERE.

Opera also features the ability to run custom scripts and had to long before firefox and it's out of the box. Also stability on chrome is dependent on version it's not the most stable browner still better then firefox with it's massive memory leaks left and right but that's hardly a unique charm to chrome. I also find chromes decoding on images to actually be the slowest out of the 4 people are bull shitters when they say chrome is the fastest or FF is the fastest etc that's just in java-script speed the shit still has to be processed in other things such as css tables and rendered on your computer, browsers when you take into account everything including natural bandwidth caps and latency to web-servers they all are about the same speed. Also alpha builds of newest opera that is available to the public are just as fast as FF nightly builds. IE9 not available to the pubic is just as fast as that as well in javascript speeds cause apparently fan boy campaigns have convinced Microsoft apparently script speed is a selling point even when they point out most websites aren't javascript heavy only a few like facebook are. | ||

This is so true. The whole "fastest browser" debate is quite outdated now. Sure there can be a miniscule difference, but it's negligible. I prefer Firefox because of it's adaptability but for those who are worried about trying chrome due to its privacy issues, there's a version of the Chromium browser (up to date etc and fully compatably with extensions) called SRWare Iron. I also like the UI of Chrome a lot too. Also, Kenpachi, the "tearing" feature works on Ffox too. | ||

when you take into account everything including natural bandwidth caps and latency to web-servers they all are about the same speed. I use both Firefox and Chrome and I have no main browser at the moment. Reason being I can't choose between the two. A reason for this is that I can totally feel the difference in speed so I know you are mistaken about that. I also realize that not everyone has the same experience but I know several people in my class that shares my experiences | ||

The difference in speed has been measured before though macro based web page test with varying web-pages etc the difference is something 5-10ms on avg between freshly installed browsers you think you can see that most monitors can't even change their pixels that fast. Now browsers do get slower when you use them alot and don't maintain them also when you slap on add-ons etc that is the likely thing you see, anytime you try out a new browser and you are computer illiterate and so your browser is bogged down it always seems faster on the freshly installed browser. I use opera because i don't need any adds on with opera ffs i don't even use flash for flash i use IE8 exclusively just because it's the most efficient compared to the plug in ones. | ||

Well sure, but if we're going down that line, Terminal > all. :3 Difference between the terminal and an indexer. I still like my GUI thank you very much.

But that's just me IE8 is the most secure esp under a non admin account in windows 7. Only porb is IE is the most targeted browser so get it right yo =p oddly enough opera is probably the least secure out of the 4 but it's hardly ever targeted for it's exploits. | ||

Switched over from FF and never looked back. http://www.versluis.com/2010/01/the-scary-truth-about-googles-chrome-propaganda/ I wouldn't be that optimistic about the new browser by Google, the most powerful corporation ever. Before releasing own browser, Google was able to collect user browsing information only through Google Toolbar. If you read the G! Toolbar Terms & Conditions carefully, you'd find the lines where Google states that by installing the software a user agrees to share all browsing information with the software provider. Naturally, they couldn't force everyone to install their toolbar so the great G chose the different way. Google wants to know every little thing about you and your relations with the world. Having billions of heavy-weighed user profiles enables the corporation to sell anything to anyone. And you wouldn't even suspect that Google is actually selling something to you -- they know the exact place (space?) and time you'll be browsing across their ad and they'll definitely know the words to convert you in a second. There is, however, even a more dangerous aspect of Google's tremendous activities. By collecting all sorts of data about its users (read every Internet user on Earth), Google sets you and everyone else in the world under the greatest threat ever. How? * Google Toolbar knows your location, your IP address, your Internet service provider (who knows your real location), etc. * Google Checkout knows your credit card number * Google Maps & Google Earth know your travel itineraries, your favorite places, your office location, your friends' locations... even exact distance between your home and the nearest supermarket! * Google Docs reads all your private documents * Google Notebook has all your notes * Google Desktop knows your music tastes, has your images, indexes each and every file on your computer * Gmail sees all your email conversations and has all your contacts on file * Google Talk & Lively record all your VoIP talks with friends * Picasa Web Albums knows your friends' names and faces, has seen places that you visited, remembers your dog's name and won't ever forget that birthday party where you got so drunk! * Google Calendar remembers all your events, appointments and reminders * Google AdSense has access to your website where you publish their ads and, again, knows your credit card and information and all your bank account details * Google Adwords has the list of your websites that you promote through their advertising system (And, yeah, they have your financial profile on record) * Google Analytics knows absolutely everything about your websites (and products that you sell online or offline) should you have any * Youtube views every video you submit and tags every little detail in it * Blogger reads all new posts in your blog * iGoogle has passwords to your Facebook/Myspace/Writers United accounts Do you think you're safe with Google?! That's a comment on some page there. I closed it by mistake T_T, but yes. Read the terms of use. I don't like when people play the big brother card against google. Every website, application, operating system, and any piece software available right now does this...even Starcraft. The only difference is that when the FBI/equivalent government investigation group comes knocking on other companies' doors for information, which may or may not violate end user privacy agreements, google doesn't budge. The most serious form of intervention google has ever performed based on information they have collected has been tailoring ads (which are easily disabled) to better suit your interests and banning sites with illegal content from their search engine; and mind you, they always have a written report available for anyone to see explaining why the site was banned. | ||
