Re: Google Chrome (new web browser) released.
Thanks to the revolting ones such eulas will get corrected sooner or later. Meanwhile I'll be enjoying perfectly fine browser. :D I'm not paranoid enough to get myself worried over such trivialities in eulas.

Hey, now, trivialities in EULAs are why people like me have the full version of FS2!  :D
Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Agreed... I ended up uninstalling it.

Re: Google Chrome (new web browser) released.
Wow! Great to know that Google cares so much about the terms it's asking its users to agree to.

Though to be fair, they are being a lot more responsive than many other companies, and at least they are actually changing it. That they didn't even care to check the license agreement or have somebody looking over it to make sure that it said what they thought it did is a bit disturbing to me. If it's something that they plan on being legally binding to millions of people, they ought to do a damn good job on it.

Of course what'd be even more disturbing is if somebody did check it...or maybe that would just be unexpectedly selfish.

The incognito feature is very cool, I'm surprised more browsers don't have it.

Re: Google Chrome (new web browser) released.
I tried Chrome a couple of days ago and I wasn't that impressed. I am sticking to Firefox, besides whatever new function Chrome has FF will also implement it sooner or later. I've also read that they are working on their own Java engine that will be just as fast as Googles.

So does IE8, apparently.

Really? That's incredibly pointless if it's true. Chrome is all open-source - Firefox can just implement V8 themselves.

I said more, apparently IE8 does, but FF would be wise to add it as well.

This can vary easily archive similar and even better anonymity with Firefox through the use of extensions, eg. Torbutton

By the way, the German Federal Office for Information Security has issued an official warning against the use of chrome for several reasons.

Re: Google Chrome (new web browser) released.
I don't know about this alert, but lately the Chrome beta has been making Vista crash. I'm certainly not making it my default browser until it's at least fully released, and perhaps later than that. It is, however, very interesting.

Re: Google Chrome (new web browser) released.
Tried it for a day and a half.  I found the lack of any menus, configuration options, and customizations insulting.  It doesn't even properly integrate into the shell, FFS.  ALT+F4 doesn't even work right.

Garbage.
Bunny stole my signature :(.

Sorry boobies.

I am using it. Not that bad.  More integration would be nice.

Google actually intends to replace the concept of operating systems. Or so their picture book says.
