General Computing and Internet This is a discussion on, Google Chrome web browser within the Community channel forum; It's certainly as fast as FF and certainly a lot faster than IE. I like it....

Yeah but using for a few hours now really like it no bloat. Not missing FF extensions yet, lot of chatter on twitter and jaiku about. Hopefully they will keep updating quickly.

Re: Google Chrome web browser

Im reserving judgment on it for now (and not trying it). If, like their search engine, they log and record things you do, it wouldnt be worth using. As they dont see any problems in logging searches you do wouldnt it be fair to say they will log websites youve visited etc to help them better target advertisments on their own sites?

Just a thought.

Re: Google Chrome web browser

Just discovered another 'bug', if you try to download the Google Toolbar, it tells you it 'needs at least Firefox 2, do you want to download the latest version of Firefox?' I think they will have to fix that pretty quickly.
