    Smile have you tried google chrome?

    i just posted this about google chrome on another forum:

    i tried it yesterday but uninstalled it, and after uninstalling it googleupdater was still running so i deleted its folder and stopped the process. the browser had no settings to disable javascript and such as i could see and almost no features, i know it is a beta but this was not good.

    thanks for sharing

    what kind of "terms of service" is that?

    as i said google updater was running after uninstalling chrome and that is unacceptable. i am about to change my startpage to something else than google.

    Chrome sounds a little shifty, and sneaky after reading the article...

    What do they mean when they say provide the content that you submit through their services? What kind of content?

    For sure there is a lot of debate about the Privacy policy and License.

    Of immediate concern is the vulnerability discovered by researcher Aviv Raff shortly after the release of Chrome.

    Think about it. Why would anyone bother to make another browser today, especially one that's just another varient of an existing one at its base?

    The only reason I can come up with is they want control of all the information either provided, selected or entered by the user. With Google's already questionable history with respect to privacy, I'm not seeing any valid reason to install another potential set of vulnerabilities, no matter how pretty or fast it might seem.

    It's always easy to make a faster browser, just take out half the features and protection, anyone can do it using the Mozilla source in an afternoon.

    Guess how I just voted above.

    i have also noticed that the more i visit a link on the google search results (in ie7) the higher up in the search results they get, it is boring to get the same results everytime, i want to see new sites and not they i visit the most all the time (wikipedia is great anyway) i like the google translate service but the search engine is getting boring.

    i am sure this browser gets many security holes. not everyone wish to use flash, java and javascript all the time either. the browser was ugly too.
