Google Chrome, Day 2

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lookit-all-them-stories dept.

Seems that almost every story submitted to Slashdot last night in some way involved Google's Chrome that we started talking about yesterday. Dotan Cohen noted that according to Clicky Chrome has hit 3% browser share. Since Google has decided to release Chrome only for Windows, I now share for you 3 reviews written by others: the first comes from alexy2k, the second from mildsiete, and the third from oli4uk. They all seem to feature various opinions, charts, and screenshots demonstrating various exciting points.

  2. No Adblock? No Chrome for me. by Sparky9292 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    When Adblock is released for chrome, I will use it. It's funny how a 3rd party extension has become the killer app for browsing.

    *yawn* Another browser. What special feature do they have that we can't live without? Or to say that another way. Why should I bother looking at it?

    These people can't even get a search engine right. They have no exact search functionality. Let me repeat that. They have no exact search functionality.

    They peaked 2 years ago. In another 7 or so they'll be viewed just as microsoft is.

    I looked at the web logs from a general purpose, non-techy website ... and traffic didn't start until after the release at Noon.

    Brain scratcher! Wonder why?

    No, you do sound like a fanboi. I don't care about adblock. Ads just don't bother me in the least. I actually can't stand Firefox. There are enough things that are annoying about it that I only use it on occasionally for compatibility reasons. Actually, make that 'used'. I'm using Chrome right now as my 'compatibility' browser. I'm still using Opera on Windows as my main browser. I use Safari on my Mac, because Opera sucks for OS X. :/
    (Similarly, Safari sucks on Windows. :/)

    And I was baffled at the opera mouse gestures since you can't customise them.

    thats a lie, options are in shortcuts/mouse options, you can change everything

    He obviously didn't know, so you were clearly lying about his statement being a lie. A helpful clarification as to how they are customized would have not left you seeming like a total idiot.
