bynge,

Chrome is really fast, and because of this it is my default browser now.

As per the current benchmarks, safari is the fastest browser. So you may want to check out safari too.

Now that chrome is officially out, its time you compare it from the point of view of a common user and set aside the computer techie in you. Not that the tests you mentioned are not valid arguments for chrome being better than others.

I find it always faster than any other browser out there. I realise that it is not loaded with add-ons just as firefox, I am sure you if give them a little more time, Google will show what they really can. (I agree it just like saying Linux is faster, Both doesn’t do anything)

“”Everyone must realise that if something is made public it is no longer “beta”. You should stand behind everything you release.”"

Alpha release is private testing
Beta release is public testing

And I have not had a single crash and been using all day. The “:%” crash posted did not crash my browser. The security model they use is going to work great when “addons” or “extensions” are added. The core ideas behind it are wonderful and simple. And for an early leak I am very impressed.

I’m glad you have not been fooled by chrome as well.

I think if one more thing comes out with a “beta” tag I may be sick. Everyone must realise that if something is made public it is no longer “beta”. You should stand behind everything you release.

I also can’t even begin to care about Chrome. Google is becoming more boring with each day.

Binil,
JavaScript engines in the Firefox and Safari browsers are super fast too. What is the big deal?

Don’t you think that you trivialize it a tad too much?

It is not entirely about beta. Even if you forget the few bugs in Chrome, there is no ‘great’ feature in it that will make Chrome an instant hit.
It is just another browser. That’s it.
