Google Chrome

Anybody using it? How do you like it? I'm pretty happy with FireFox, but not unwilling to switch if there's something better.

Don't know much about it, but the IT department where I work (Raytheon) banned us from putting it on our machines due to security flaws.

I could tell you but I'd have to kill ya'





















Electrical engineer. Designed power supplies for airborne processors(JSF), but currently working on ground vehicle EO/IR systems. Some of my friends did work on the APG-79 radar for the F-18 E/F's. That is a bad **** jet with some wicked sensor capabilities

I know, the alternative doesn't seem to be any better: IE, however, not the latest version that supports tabbed browsing.

I've played with chrome a little bit and for some reason I really can't explain I just didn't like it so switched back to firefox.

Here is a link from another forum I go to, it talks about Chrome and its EULA.
From the threads there are links to more info about the EULA.

Pocket PC Thoughts thread about Chrome

CNET Story about Chrome EULA

ARS Technica story on Chrome EULA

ALSO BEWARE OF THIS, the CNET article says
"Provided that users leave Chrome's auto-suggest feature on and have Google as their default search provider, Google will have access to any keystrokes that are typed into the browser's Omnibox, even before a user hits enter."
