Had to come back into FF as I can't find the last post in this thread.
The browser is very fast. Going to find my feet later.

Well it works with zoomtext which is nice, but I don't find it any quicker than firefox. I'll see how I get on over the next couple of days I think

Speed is faster on some heavy sites I visit, and some slower sites I visit too...

I said Right click menu, right click on a page... You get Back, Forward but not much else really.

I'm using it now. It seems a lot faster than FF3. This has a nice Linux feel to it.

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome

Its just given me a 100% cpu and had to close via task manager, also i went to a siter that needed a plugin for a video and that wouldn't work. To me it's no quicker than Firefox 3 which flies along on both my computers.

OK it needs a File menu. It needs a a google toolbar, It needs a separate bookmarks button and scrap the bookmarks toolbar as its a waste of time. If it sorts these then yes it will be good

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome

The installer says 'connecting to internet' and just stays on that.
