I don't think it has yet
Google Chrome
Really? Slow and buggy? For me it's working like a charm. It's super fast, with nice little transitions and whatnot, but I must say the user interface could be a tad better.
Chrome is lickity split fast for me compared to my experience with firefox. And I honestly don't see any problem with the user interface. What kinks does it have to work out? I'd rather have a fast browser than one with a bunch of features I don't use.
Well while Chrome is extremely fast, I customized my Firefox like crazy, and I use everything in it.
I think I shall use Chrome occasionally, perhaps wait a bit, but for now Firefox all the way.
Here's how fast it is http://www.sfu.ca/~cyrille/news/CFM.gif
Edit: Here's another little test (in milliseconds) for several different tasks, and it has nice little graphs too :D
That's weird. Everyone here says it's fast, but I'm experiencing it slow...
I'll restart computer and try.
Did you guys read the cartoon about Chrome? I did and it sounds very promising, especially the behind-the-scenes stuff that helps isolate resource-hogging and misbehaving websites.
natrix, I can't say I really like the EULA for chrome, for anyone who doesn't know what it is (http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html - basically, Google owns you, you're stuff, and can control and use anything and everything you do on chrome).
I think its a little ridiculous how they want rights to EVERYTHING, as Microsoft tried with MSN as did AOL with AIM for rights to all IP passed through.
After a day of using it, I'm a tad dissapointed at Google, but hey, its their first shot.
Just downloaded it, initially works fast for me will play with it more and see what happens- still have FireFox available

Be aware that the google Chrome tracks everything you look at on the internet and ends up in a database. Can anyone see if Google Chrome is Censoring infowars.com ??
I agree about the EULA. A shame too, but I will not be using Google Chrome much at all, unless they change it.
I'm browsing this in a recently downloaded Chrome :)
The javascript engine, called v8, was developed seperately and is supposedly faster than all the other browsers.
It's not really designed to steal users from ff - google gave mozilla about $58 million last year - it's aimed at bringing more users from ie into the world of open-source browsers.
Of course it doesn't censor any websites - why would anyone use it? That's just a stupid question.
I think it's significantly faster than firefox or IE ... I'm diggin' it so far...found a couple of bugs though..1) OCCASIONALY, when I'm in a separate yahoo messenger chat window, and i minimize the yahoo chat window, then the google chrome web browser window will automatically minimize too.. 2) in my godaddy.com admin, I cant seem to launch the admin links in chrome, but I can launch them with firefox.. anyway, no biggie, just giving some feedback if anyone is interested..so far, I give it a thumbs up, I'd like to see some skins though.
schofio> Of course it doesn't censor any websites - why would anyone use it? That's just a stupid question.
Well, by the same token I'm surprised by how many people would use a browser where the EULA states anything you browse (including personal e-mail, confidential info in a VPN website, etc) may be stored and shown to others by Google. ;)
Has Google Chrome been fully tested yet?
