Google Chrome


Is anyone else trying out Google's new internet browser? I am a huge Google fan so I figured I would try it out for a while here during its Beta stages. So far I really like how smoothly it runs as well as the looks of it. Very similar to FireFox in that it takes up less RAM to run so it appears to run quicker than IE7. The only thing I really don't like about it is that I have really got used to the little search location that IE7 added. But there are already talks that Google will add that in with their final update of the program.

On that same note, DO NOT upgrade to IE8. If you are running Windows XP on your computer IE8 will actually have a bigger memory footprint than Windows XP does running. Microsoft added too many things to the new IE in hopes of pulling people away from Firefox and to fight Google, instead they have created such a draining web browser its damn near unuseable.

Will Google's browser help me block all of Google's ads?

Tried it, not going to switch permanently. I'll stick to Firefox.
