New browser on the block
 

Google have released thier own Web browser, Chrome, to rival Firefox and Explorer. Anyone downloaded/used it yet?

I'll probably give it a go this evening when i get home.

Nope not yet, haven't been on my own PC in ages.

Oh is that what it is? I might give it a go, as I was so behind in getting firefox (as in, I still haven't got it :lol:) so then maybe I will be "cool" to use chrome :)

Now posting from it - seems ok so far - the tabs are at the very top - here is a screen shot...

How lightweight is it? As that's meant to be its main selling factor, how big was it to install and how much memory is it currently using???

Install package was 474Kb and it took only about a minute to install on this laptop running XP - its running four versions of itself in my Task Manager - using a total of 90Mb of memory

Is it as secure as IE or Firefox?

Re: New browser on the block
 

4 versions or 4 tabs?

Re: New browser on the block
 

Just reading some stuff about it using an old version of the "Webkit" which has a few flaws so I am using with caution.

Two tabs open and still showing four "chrome.exe" processes.

That's a touch hungry for 2 tabs... did you mean 2 tabs on each four windows?
