Google chrome reviews - crashed few minutes after use

yes tony, i download it today morning. it is quite good than fire fox and IE. i was searching something via google . that time i noticed it. it saves the previous pages also, so we can come back to the previous page easily. the tabs are also good.

Tony your experience is first among ISc, think so. This is exciting and interesting.

Google Chrome is a web browser project by Google. It was leaked yesterday, and Google held a press conference to announce the launch of Chrome. With Chrome, Google hopes to bring the best of various browsers and code, like Firefox and WebKit (WebKit is used by Safari too).

Chrome has a remarkably minimalist interface. There is no full-scale menu bar and no title bar--and few distractions. All controls are buried beneath two icons to the right of the Omnibar (as Google refers to its address bar): a page icon for managing tabs and using Google Gears to create application-like shortcuts from your desktop to a Web site; and a wrench for history, downloads, and other browser options.

Google may well have been forced into a damage control mode, as the first bit of news that we knew was Chrome's information being leaked. Furthermore, Linux and Mac versions have not been launched - that leaves a large number of Google fans displeased.

It doesn't feel very different from Firefox 3. Chrome might be a little faster, but it's hard to tell on a fast computer. Also, my Google Chrome does not have any plug-ins installed right now. It's not like Firefox 3 is a horrible piece of junk that crashes every 10 minutes.

There's one highlight that we would like to point to: Chrome can consume considerably less memory than Firefox 3. In our tests. This means that Chrome might be more suitable for Nettops than Firefox, and this might be the most obvious benefit of Google's software architecture for Chrome.

Doing CNTRL F for find works well, like that it highlights all items on page, then moves through them. Is this same in safari. Bah I need to download and install Safari to compare.

I was resisting Safari as I didn't like apple forcing it in my updater. Silly reason, but still.

Interesting. The 'chrome' in Vista looks so much better then xp. Its blue in xp, and Vista is black/grey. Just looks better.

Don't bother trying to open xml or RSS with the browser yet. Just junk.

Hi,

I downloaded the browser the day it was Released. I had no issue. I am a person who work on all browser. I have SAFARI, MOZILLA 3, IE 8(BETA). Chrome has good look and user friendly features.

The most important the google has done is provided more screen space on the browser, which is a must for every users.

It has used features of Mozilla and also Internet Explorer into it. A user of mozilla will be able to make out from Chrome the features that are also available in Firefox. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13

The best features that I liked in Chrome are:

1) It saves your last open pages as Recently opened pages, Most visited pages. This is something lag in IE and Firefox.

2) The incognito features which I have not seen till date in any of the browser, you will think what is INCOGNITO : Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window.

3) If you open many application while at work, and need to type the webaddress everyday. Check out this, Chrome has a features which Create application shortcuts. This will create a shortcut for and just a click on there you go application is opened for you.

4) The best is download features. Try to download any file in Chrome and see, you will like it.

My Experience with Google Chrome is best till now : loading of pages is faster, history is good to track, one click fav, Security (incognito).

Tony,

I also downloaded the browser. and it is working fine. I do not have any issues. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will also share my experiences if I find any problem with that browser

Hello, Yes it is nice. I just did it. Thank you.

firefox is so much better!!!!!!! it is completely customizable with free add ons. want to know why chrome may be faster (i don't think it is but it could be for you) is because they are using a technique that they have offered to increase speed of IE, they run all of your sites through their site, and see and record everything that you do and type, so id possible milliseconds either way are worth loss of your security than thats fine for you.

It seems that you had a very good experience with google chrome.
But I would like to know that as it is crashed should we install it and use it or not. And what are the other problem being faced by you.

Its Fast, easy and reliable, its a multi-user system

Seeing how I haven't installed any beta software lately (yeah right), I figured I jump in with everyone else on the net and see what's up with Google's new entry in the browser market. If you haven't heard about Chrome yet, then just do a Google Search on it and you'll have plenty to read for the foreseeable future. The install was small 468k so the download was fast and the install took about 15 seconds so in well under a minute I went from "click" to "play". Not too shabby. So, if you too are interested in giving a new browser a shot, here are a few cool features that stick out

One box for everything

Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs.

My Take: This is VERY cool. Ever hated having to enter search terms in a separate edit box in the browser? Not any more, all the features are integrated into the single address/search/history/etc bar.

New Tab Page

Every time you open a new tab, you'll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages and closed tabs. Other browsers

My Take: Been there, done that with IE8 and never really found a use for it although some might. There doesn't seem to be a way to configure this on or off but hopefully some day there will be an "about:blank" option for the new tab page.

Application Shortcuts

Use web apps without opening your browser. Application shortcuts can directly load your favorite online apps.

My Take: This feature has been available in FireFox for some time so nothing earth shattering here.

Dynamic Tabs

You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish -- quickly and easily.

My Take: This is pretty cool. There have been times I've wanted to re-organize my 30-tab browser session into a couple of windows and this would be a very easy way to do it.

Crash Control

Every tab you're using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won't take anything else down.

My Take: Not sure how I feel about this one. Each tab runs it's own process and already I've got 4 processes going each at about 30MB or memory usage. How is this going to scale for the 30+tab user. I like the crash protection but splitting windows up across process boundaries might be a better option unless they can reduce the memory footprint on each tab process.

Incognito Mode

Don't want pages you visit to show up in your web history? Choose incognito mode for private browsing.

My Take: This feature ROCKS! Ever worried about clicking on that link that your co-worked forwarded to you? Worry no longer, with Incognito mode, pages viewed will not appear in the browser history and they won't leave any other traces. Not that I would need that feature though...

Safe Browsing

Google Chrome warns you if you're about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website.

My Take: Again, this is in all the other mainstream browsers out there so it's par for the course.

Instant Bookmarks

Want to bookmark a web page? Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you're done.

My Take: This will likely save the speed-bookmarker some time, but since I rarely create bookmarks I'm not sure how it will impact my day to day experience.

Importing settings

When you switch to Google Chrome, you can pick up where you left off with all the bookmarks and passwords from your existing browser.

My Take: Again, par for the course. They needed to do this to get folks to use it.

Simpler Downloads

No intrusive download manager; you see your download's status at the bottom of your current window.

My Take: This is another one that is awesome in my opinion. I HATE the downloads window with a passion so this will likely be a nice feature to avoid that extra popup hitting me in the face every time I download a file.

Developer Tools

Included in the menus, are the developer options of "View Source", "Debug Javascript", "Javascript console", and "Task Manager".


My Take: Since they wrote their own Javascript engine for this release, they better darn well have a Javascript debugger in there. The Task Manager (Shift+ESC) is a nice little feature that will show you the memory usage for each component in the Chrome environment (windows, tabs, plugins, etc). If you are big into stats, then check out the "about:memory" shortcut where you can get all the memory details of each of the tasks. With all this, it still falls way short of the WebDeveloper plugin for FireFox. Until more debugging tools come into play, it'll be hard to pry me from FireFox.

Configuration

The browser was built with simplicity in mind and there are only a very small set of configuration options to worry about.

My Take: In the configuration window there are 3 tabs with only a handful of settings total such as proxy server settings, search engine defaults, password preferences, and download locations. I say AMEN to this one as I find it hard to believe anyone needs all gazillion settings that are in IE and FireFox.

Final Thoughts

The best features by far are the Incognito Mode, Single Address/Search/History bar, and the new download manager. Oh, and it's pretty snappy to boot. But, to get me to switch full-time, there'll have to be some more developer tool integration. But, keep in mind that this is a beta project so I have high hopes that FireFox will finally have met it's match. Oh, and as an added benefit, DevCentral works GREAT in Chrome!

i used it.it is very cool

i used this chrome from day 1, i feeling most conferable with chrome, but i too have other browers(opera, ie8 beta2). i am not satisfied with ie8 or opera.

i too have opened some of regional sites which is opening with full comfort. but not by opera.

Hi all.
I installed Google Chrome and am using it currently. Its eye catching features is the first thing that is noticeable about this latest Google invention. Besides it provides many other facilities, viz displaying the most frequently used web pages in a grid for easy and fast access. I am still discovering its features and find it quite fascinating.

Hi All,

Really google chome is the best then IE and Firefox. I have downloaded recently.

I don't know why but I felt chrome is not so good at performance.
I personally feel that its good with services related to google but for other features it needs improvement.

Initially it takes much more time as compared to other browsers to send request to the server but then slowly speeds up.

Well, I downloaded Google Chrome just a month ago and have tried it. I found no problem with it but I prefer to use Firefox until now. Google chrome might be fast but it still lacks a lot of things. So up to this moment I am still using the reliable Firefox.

The new version of Google Chrome Beta is GOOD with the new layout and feature. The information given by you is very good and efficient. Please give the information about many other things also. The information given by is very good. BE HAPPY NO BP. Thank you.

A very good one.

Well i am using google chrome for a couple of months. In addition i ve Firefox n IE. In my experience Firefox is the best among them. Chrome is slower of course but i hadnt get any error messages or pop ups like in ur case. Wat i like in Chrome is the navigation. Its drag n drop facility for new tab is cool. Thank U.

Hi Tony, and all other members that i have been using Firefox for the last 4 months which was proven that its the best among all other explorer i used all other explorers which was not as better than Firefox, i also got the same problem that it have been crashed, but when i submitted that report it was got cleared.
Thanking you!

Hi Tony,i have installed chrome last week..its very easy to use...
i got popups many times while i am search boxes...drop facility is very useful...

ya dear friend me too using the google chrome. its not too good as we expected. now i am using both firefox and IE
it may be more usefull..

i am using chrome from the it released, i did not face even a single problem, i like the Incognito Mode, and application shortcuts. over all i liked this browser, then the other browser's i used,
i also like opera, i used it before chrome

Yea Tony,

Im already using Google Chrome. But, some time some of the errors are there. anyhow, compare to Internet Explorer, its fast ..

Friends you all have mention that while using google crome it creates problem but dear friend as realised that it can save all tthe search pages.
If any case you find any page or web but unfortunately you lost that page so you can that page from the saving quality of Google Chrom.
This is good thing created by google.

I have also installed Google Chrome in my P/C.

I find it much more faster than the conventional Internet Explorer. I was excited.

But all of a sudden, when I was doing internet banking, many of the options were not available. I could not view my Demat account, and also credit card, fixed depost summary etc. I got very upset and spoke to my bankers; left a complaint on net asking reasons for disconnecting the service of those options, etc.without intimation.

Visited my bank personally but was surprised to see that those options work on their P/C. Finally, I tried to open it through Internet Explorer, and all the options were visible. Thank God! It made my life simpler.

What I learnt from this experience is, we must have the Internet
explorer also in tact.

Hi Tony,
I am also using Google Chrome. Only when there are certain temporary issues with Chrome then I use IE or Foirefox

After being a Mozilla fan, I too switched to chrome a month back as my Mozilla had started crashing frequently. I am not disappointed with Chrome as of now.

Also, OK and cancel button in the error dialog was for the question 'Restart now?'
