OT: Google Chrome

Visually it's better (brighter, crisper) then FF; however, I have had problems with text in some text boxes. Not this one but in others the text will disappear or the spell checker won't work for example. It reminds me a lot of ie but I have only messed with ie maybe a half dozen times?

What is Fyron's opinion?

I'm surprised as well. :P

But the SE forums at Shrapnel have really died off since the forum changeover.

True it has but I expect once the shock has worn off things will pick back up again.

I've used the Chrome browser for a couple of days now and it does seem to load pages faster. Haven't used it enough to decide if I like it overall though.

I've been using it on and off too. I'm rather pleased with it, but I do have issues with it's CSS rendering which is rather sub-standard for the webkit platform its built from.

I've also noticed some javascript apps are slower than firefox, but all in all I figure it'll place right behind Opera in terms of quality or a solid 3rd place once a few more updates come out for it.

Beware! It was apparently written to be fast, but without enough thought for security. Many vulnerabilities are being found. The usual years-long 'beta' phase of Google projects is a good idea in this case.
