   Chrome won’t chuck out FF.
   For me,
   Chrome hung up often and is similar to FF wrt to speed.

   FF will rule. IE suxs.

   I don’t think any sane person will use chrome if he/she reads this in “Google Chrome Terms of Service” before we check the “I agree” checkbox.

   Does this mean google can save and publish the cache pages of my office’s internal sites?? If yes, it does give too much power to Google.

   The moment I read this, I uninstalled it.

   Google has played a lot with privacy since the very first day. Google Chrome doesn’t let you turn of the history feature and that’s a nice indication that your browsing interests are fed to Google. Don’t panic if you parents are launching a new window on your PC from your account and Google will pop up all nasty ads similar to your interest

   Chrome looks good and impressive. But remember that it’s going to compete with Firefox head on and not with IE as people predict. The reasoning is simple. Most people use IE because they are used to it (not that they like it). But people use Firefox out of choice. They always have the freedom to move. Given the fact that chrome is much much much more lightweight than firefox and provides a better user experience will inspire people to start using it. Addons are a big deal for most people. I use Greasemonkey, Firebug, weathercast, s3fox..etc but can definitely live without it if my browser just starts when I want it and stay shut when I don’t want it.
   Many thanks to Google for bringing the browser war again. Have you checked IE8 Beta 2? It’s definitely inspired by Google (and firefox too). There is this InPrivacy mode, process per tab and (finally) inline search too.

   And Sundar, you keep crashing my Chrome
