Yeah, Opera might have to call it quits.

 

 That causes discomfort to my stomach.

Hmm... not bad. Trying it now as I type this. I've been using FF for a while now so it's not a given I'll change.

Anyone else given it a test spin?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Typing this from Chrome. DEAR GOD the ads on this site are annoying, I have not seen even a single ad up until right now. Add-on people better hurry up and fill this void otherwise there is no way Chrome will be able to pull its own weight. Also my mouse pad can scroll down but it can't scroll up and it's extremely annoying. Third mouse button press also doesn't bring up the little arrow thing. There are definitely some problems with it. But other features are just damn cool.

I'm wondering how will this affect Safari and Opera..

Safari ? Apple strenght  ( like Nintendo )  is in its integration between software and hardware.

Safari marketshare depend heavily on Apple hardware diffusion.

I dled it.

I have to say it kicks FF3s ass.

Only problem the options are hard to find.

FF3 is still the best browser



I like it except the bookmarks.
It's a pain to access nested bookmarks as each time you go into a subfolder you get a new window....

I want bookmarks to be scrolled like in IE !



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

It's not bad so far. Definitely faster than FF. And I actually like the look too. The only thing is without my add-ons I can't see using this as my main browser for long. Hopefully Google works something out soon.



Further impressions, it's slower than Firefox 3, but it also has to load every piece of crap ad and boot up every single piece of crap script it finds on a webpage so I guess it's doing well. As soon as add-ons start rolling out this might become my main browser, but until then I don't think so.
