Using Chrome to browse and reply now :-)

Cannot say too much about performance since I am operating off GSM modem connection, so everything is still slow.

Looks really clean and plain but I probably won't like it until there are advanced Tab-management features like Tab-browser Extensions or TabMix Plus for Firefox.

It is in beta... :)

I won't trust Google for any NDA surfing...

what about building it directly from source? Smile that way you can see if it's phoning home or not

As a browser, it is going to be quite innovative, since it is built from ground up and from google...

BUT, beware of google eula.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10031703-56.html

 

Their old EULA, which they have quickly changed without informing users after bad press release.

Section 11

"By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."

 

They can just change it now, with a snap of the fingers, and they can change it again. For MVPS out there, your nda is at stake. DO you really need another browser?

why would the NDA be at stake? unless Microsoft prohibits surfing when passing through proxies or non-IE browsers Wink

If you browse through NDA content, and have configured Chrome to submit data to help Google collect and carry out analysis and statistics. Personally i just use IE to browse most microsoft content, because, they don't always work/render well on "down level" browsers. ;-)

I quote their original EULA again...

"By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."

Meaning, you just browse, say connect.microsoft.com, or the MVP site, OR your company intranet, which contains your company IP, it becomes Google's PROPERTY, whether you allow Google to analyse or not...

If you read carefully it also states "and your first-born shall be mine...."
