   I use a Mac and sadly they don't have a version for us yet - I'm just itching to see this sucker in action to find out what all the fuss is about.

      @captainobvious22 Can't you still run it on a windows platform?

      @jasmine And Matt Cutts from Google seemed to summarily dismiss people's privacy concerns, once again, as "conspiracy theories." I think there are some genuine issues there, especially if Google gets hacked.

   I've been using it since it came out. Its been pretty smooth sailing so far.

   It has some problems - specifically with sites that use Java oddly enough - no plugin warnings. Also, does anyone else notice how much hard disk accessing goes on whilst it is running? I get the same sort of constant disk access with Firefox 3 and Flock 2.

   Myth 4: Privacy

   That is a big big concern...

   Most of this article is "Well, the upcoming IE is going to have ____ too". I don't know about you, but even if IE and Chrome went feature-for-feature, I'd still pick Google's browsers over IE. And I've read that Google's hoping some of their optimizations and things get integrated in the next FF. The beauty of open source.

   Definitely written by an IE fan, being that many of the features listed are attributed to IE8, even though they have appeared in other browsers first, such as Private Browsing... but maybe I'm just an anti-IE fan... :-P

   Chrome is definitely still a version 1. (or worse)

   I've had it crash on me (taking down other tabs!), and I'm one of a handful of people that are affected with a "reverse scrolling" problem. When I use the scroll wheel on my mouse, the webpage scrolls in the opposite direction. It's weird.

   I'm still using it as one of my secondary browsers though (I do web devel). Gmail and Greader does feel a little bit faster. *shrug* Not good enough for everyday use -- nothing beats the Firefox addons.

   In general, it's good that there's more competition in the browsers. It's our interface to everything these days, and we need more innovation. Without that innovation, we wouldn't have gotten Firefox's "awesome bar" for many more years. And I don't know how I've lived without the awesome bar all these years.
