QUOTE (EmSixTeen @ Sep 4 2008, 17:35) Explain to me how you are, and why you're so experienced? I'm more than curious. Call it an expert opinion - 13 years of using various browsers. Like I said in its current state (which isn't saying much at this point), Chrome is far from a "fully functional" browser. It appears aimed at someone who is new to the Internet.

13 years of using different browsers? Doesn't really mean much. 12 years here though, before you spout anything off. I'm in no way new to the internet, and have definitely not stayed 'nub' at it, however thusfar Chrome is so far beyond what I expected that I'm hella surprised. My earlier post highlights what sh*te I'm unimpressed with, but even on my rig it's running noticeably better than Firefox, minus my adored extensions and greasemonkey scripts.

Giving Chrome an extensive run, personally.

Not "spouting" anything - just stating a fact.

I'm sorry, but how in the name of jebus can you be an experienced user of a browser? Moreover, how can you be a noob?

Either you know how to use the internet (i.e-everyone on this forum), or you don't (i.e- the elderly, infants, etc). Can being able to tweak your browser be called experience in browsing? Or having used more than the two current major competitors (IE and Firefox) called experience?

I think not. It's certainly experience in the use of browsers in your arsenal, but to say you're an expert at browsing is like saying you're the bees-knees at walking.

Furthermore, time spent using the internet doesn't count for sh*t, I know there are people who've been using it (regularly) for far longer than I, yet I know more about their browsers than they do. And vice-versa.

PS- "Reviewing" a just released BETA version of a browser, then saying it's not fully functional in comparison to current browsers is like reviewing a car that has nothing but a chassis, engine, and a lawnchair for a seat, then saying it's not very comfortable to drive.

Some people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racewalking) seem to think themselves that.

I guess this guy is the speedwalker equivalent of an internet user. Better pelt him with the Snickers gatling gun before it spreads.

I read about this work in progress in PC World months ago, and I am waiting like with Vista, to see it refined to the point it impresses most people. I think Firefox became a fav of mine late in it's life. I was using Opera first. I like how Opera's cache is sorted in file size, top to bottom. I have to dig and dig thru firefox to save files I streamed. I find this the most important aspect of the two browsers for me. And tabs, they are much easier for any newbs to get a hang of!
The art of simplicity will win out.

Well i don't know what features are missing from the beta, but usually a beta version has most of the main features but still needs some bugs worked out:

QUOTE (From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Beta))

Beta level software generally includes all features, but may also include known issues and bugs of a less serious variety.

So in relation to your metaphor, it's like a car that is ready to drive but is missing the little fuzzy dice on the rear view mirror. Ok, i exaggerate, but my point is that if the beta doesn't have features like extensions (called "add-ons" in FF) and an overly minimalist toolbar, then the first non-beta release won't have those things either. And i wouldn't consider ArcAngel with his 13 years of browsing to have an "expert" opinion, but it is an "experienced" one. And i have to agree with him.

Will they tell you when updates are available?
Or is it auto?

I have about 100 tabs open in Firefox every day, I'm usually checking on two forums, a lot of tech sites, etc.

I kinda like it, I prefer Firefox though.

No you have to manually check. Here is a link to tell you what to do:

I think its OK.Atleast it is faster than sh*t IE.


recently chrome giving error "cant read memory x9,....x09..........z"
but It doest close or effect anything.

Anyone, why it is giving memory error?

[Chargr]

Sorry for the bump.

But is anyone experiencing opening problems? Google Chrome just stops working after 3-4 months of use. Happened twice already. I click it and nothing happens, I check the processes and nothing, reinstall. Same.....

[Slamman]

Just wanted to comment to Charming Charlie, you blocked my PMs to you, and for a Mod to do that? I don't get it?? I made my thread about the Operating System, but not the browser, either way, I do use the browser, not as much as IE since that mates with AOL and it's rather dependable when I save things via the cache system. I am not even sure how to access cache content with Chrome

[pcguytech]

Slam, Chrome is Chrome Browser or OS all the same. It could of easily been kept all in one topic, no need for a second topic. Just use this topic for whatever info you may want to share, bump if you have to. I made the same mistake a couple weeks ago and it was locked, but I understand it's for the better of the forums. So, I'm happy with that
Just don't want you to get temp ban again.

Closest Existing topic SEARCH found.
I updated the Adobe Flash (seems like everyother day). This Time it also loaded Google Chrome (without asking).
I don't like the 'extra' address bar for searching, so I will most likely uninstall it.
NOW to the situation:

Whenever it is active and I click on a link in these forums I hear a double loud <CLICK> and then Nothing. I don't go anywhere. When I cancel the Chrome Google search bar the links work.
Has anyone else had this occur?
