Anyone started a pool yet on how long it takes him to get infected or have some of his details/passwords phished?

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
I wasn't sure whether to post this link in the Firefox threads or here but as it gives some positive feedback on Chrome's performance this thread seemed the more relevant choice.

Well as soon as their own toolbar works on it, it'll be my default.

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
The Opera 10 Preview build, with the enhancements in Presto 2.2 smokes everything else in my experience in speed terms.
Personally I am not a fan of apple anyway, and I am not really that keen on Webkit either. For me, Chrome is just a rehash of existing technology it doesn't bring anything new or revolutionary to the table that other browsers don't have, my only use for it would be as a cutdown, and low resource consuming browser for use on older PC's

Re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
Anyone here using Chrome?
Has it moved on much since when it first came out?
IIRC, two of the things which put me off continuing to use it in favour of Firefox were the lack of any equivalents to AdBlock and NoScript. I don't suppose that's changed now?

Look up Adsweep.
However, Version 4 will have addons (or so they said).
We're on V3 right now.
Looks something like the attached image 
EDIT: Don't go to the zShare link, it's a song with explicit lyrics, honestly, not suitable for anyone. Thanks facepunch.com
