Its fast...
I  like it.

Looks good....But does not seem to run the REBOL plugin, eg:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/run-plugin.r?script-name=periodictable.r

Plug in seems to install but apps do not run...

Maybe Google is fearing REBOL power, so they do abandon it :-))

Well, we can conclude - last year in R3 development brought us  - 
delays, delays, delays, modules shift, delays, dealys, delays, Unicode 
implementation, incomplete, delays, delays, delays, VID 3.4 shift 
... and ... nothing more ...

At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” - maybe 
we have someone to learn from ...

Seems faster than FF 3

It is much faster than ie or ff3.

Pekr, they qualify that by saying they release often to internal 
staff.

Graham - we are internal staff :-)

as for web browser - is there anything to wonder about? It is simply 
webkit (khtml) rendering engine, with new implementation of JS, isn't 
it?

webkit is generally much faster than Gecko.

exactly, and so there is nothing to admire about new Google's effort 
... imo this is completly wrong marketing move. They go against the 
Mozilla foundation, who they sponsor ....

Pekr, did you skip the part about the browser being highly multithreaded?

it treats a page more like a task, so if you have a page with a stuck 
javascript, you can close the page, like a task in your OS that has 
hanged.

I have a page that normally slows down FF ... it doesn't with Chrome.

browser is multithreaded because of webkip inability to work with 
threads, no?

Now to make chrome the default browser ...

Chrome looks more multi-process than multithreaded.

where's the binary?

%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

why there?

don't know, I just clicked run the install, I don't remember being 
asked for an install folder.

Mine isn't there.

%USER%\appdata\local\google\chrome\chrome.exe

\chrome\application\chrome.exe

I took a quick look for the binary and any associated files in programs...not 
there ofcourse. Strange.

I wanted to se if REBOL Plugin was saved in same folder. I see gears 
plugin in plugin but not rebol plugin

setting chrome to be the default application for html didn't work. 
 Rebol still loads FF.

set default programs doesn't give me an opportunity to add chrome 
either.

sunanada the firefox version of the rebweb plug should run on chrome

hum it's fast even as fast as safari

google Chromettechnologie us the a process design and a new javascrip 
(V8) virtual machine with some cool features like powerfull object 
based garbage collection and  auto object creation (even if you don't 
say so your javascript is decompose into objects) each tab is a separate 
process each things that are needed to show a page is rendered simultanously. 
no asynchronous system so

as every page is a process well when you close a page  you recover 
the full used memory  no more waste in memory use

ho and is javascript fail to run that just have an impact on the 
javascript part of the webpage that doesn't crash the full webbrowser 
or hang the rendering process

on sites with lot of imgs content like hum ..... dailymotion you 
really see the difference

Chrome seems incompatible with qtask!

I don't like the extra distance to go to switch tabs :(

safari is not compatible with qtask either, so there's probably some 
relation there.

chrome is going to be this year award best navigator ever

I like the way the completion is handled

it's better than FF3 for sure, but I miss the inquisitor plugin that 
Safari has

but the most important part is that IE will now get its ass kicked 
a little bit more. that is always nice. :-)

the way the memory is handled is verry neat

the more acurate way to manage memory I ever seen

qtask identifies Chrome as Safari

Henrik - that is imo incorrect analysis of situation .... I am not 
sure it will influence IE at all. IE is used mainly by those, who 
don't care about browsers at all. And as such, those ppl will NOT 
look at Chrome. If they would be interested in alternative browser, 
they would use FF or Opera already for quite some time. My take is 
- if Chrome is going to hurt somebody, then it is definitively FF, 
not that much Opera. And Google is sponsoring FF by some 70mil USD 
anually, by presetting Google as default search engine. If they stop, 
Mozilla foundation can get into trouble a bit ...

for me, it is "just another browser", nothing more. FF is already 
pretty good, established, with tonnes of extension. Those who claim 
FF being "slow", should first define what is slow in browser terms? 
FF is pretty fast..

if a tab locks up in FF, it locks everything up
