Google Chrome

[Jamkirk]

Google released a beta version of their new browser. I'v started to use it and quite like it
Haven't done much reading but apparently its faster than IE or Firefox..etc
Anyone else got it?

Personally I won't be using it! I don't like the amount of information Google is storing on its users or it's privacy policies. I feel that in the future Google will be a great resource for feds, That is assuming it is not already!

However I look forward to a coming browser war! Should be interesting to see what they do to combat each other? I imagine Firefox is kicking themselves for having google set as there default search engine, I imagine they'd like to change it but I doubt they will be so quick to do so..
Personally I use scroogle.

Isn't mozilla owned by google?

Hmm! I did a bit of looking into that and I don't think it is.

Nope, they aren't.

I might have a look at the whole privacy thing.. I'll download and install the new browser, and use wireshark to keep an eye on the packets.. If there are any going to google when they shouldn't, I'll post my results here .

Jamkirk - It is faster than IE and Firefox...

Particularly with Google Searches!
