I'm posting with it now. I downloaded it yesterday, and while I won't replace Fx with it yet, there's definitely some promise. Being able to resize text boxes is kinda cool. 
All in all not bad for the first stages of Google's perpetual beta cycle.  < |

| You can change the default search engine. Just to test I changed it to MSN... though I changed it back to Google since I get better results from them.< |

| not that interesting really, since everything they talk about is in IE8 so why do they think it is so revolutionary when it is just stealing bits from all the other browsers? sod all clever about that. what they really need to remember is that the browser will still be sitting on top of microsofts OS not their own. Their aim is to make the web better, but that won't be achieved by realeasing yet another browser into a market that is already difficult to code for because none of the browsers behave the same. So welcome to even more sleepless nights for the web developers who are already struggling to keep up.< |

NoScript does kinda defeat the purpose of all the JavaScript optimizations...
I will be much happier when they get whole plug-in architecture added. I am a little surprised that they didn't at least have the Google Toolbar ready for Google Chrome... makes it a pain in the tuchus to use my Google Bookmarks. =/< |

that's odd, because it does install all the googletoolbar dll's as they are now referenced in my registry, and I have never installed googletoolbar< |

| You can't make a statement that it gained anything after 1 day, that is just ludicrous since any new product will have a surge initially while people try it out. I used it a lot the first day but haven't touched it since.< |

Sure you can, it's just not as accurate as a longer period of data. You can sure see the trend in who's going to be interested in it. If IE people are barely trying it, it certainly stands to reason they will not be using it in the long run since they don't care to even try it. It's only an indicator of future metrics, not set it stone, but it's far from ludicrous.
It will also be interesting to follow StatCounter's analysis since they will soon have billions of hits in the data pool.< |
