Never heard of it.
Google rarely fails but there's nothing wrong with Firefox and I've just gotten the new version looking exactly the way I want it. |

Yeah, what's the difference between this and Firefox? And why is Google still supporting Firefox until 2012 if they're coming out with their own browser? IE cannot have that much of a stranglehold on the market. |

IE still takes up 70% of the market.
I was a big Firefox user, but the new IE 8's beta has finally made me switch. it has pretty much all of Firefox's features, along with the big company backing, so they'll fix bugs faster. |

So where's this Chrome that google is silently releasing? The link site on gears.google.com isn't working, so I can't research it further.

Bah. Two miles from google, free wi-fi from them, and I still know nothing about the company.

Is it safe to switch to Firefox 3 yet?

So I downloaded Chrome.
I'll download it again when it's out of ALPHA. Is there a letter before alpha? |

It's pretty good, considering how early of a stage it is. Page load is definitely fast. If an adblocking extension is made it'll be even better, I
might switch. I can't live without adblock plus tbqh.

Trying it right now. Renders pages really fast and perfectly. With a few plug-ins, it would be my browser, and I hate Google. Will they have plug-ins?

I like Firefox v2.x, my current plugins and my yuku extensions. I don't need anything more.

I'm the same - if it gets extension capabilities with adblock and a few other things like mouse gestures, I'd probably switch from Firefox. I really
like the page rendering. I'll keep an eye on this in the future. Come on Google!

Jake, I'm the same way. FF 2.x plus all my favourite plugins. But the actual meat of Chrome is way better. FF will remain my main browser until some
extensions come out for Chrome.
My God this thing is bloody fast. |
