1st post from Google Chrome - DaviDC. - 09-02-2008
As with any new browser, it takes a bit of getting used to. My only complaint is the fact I'm having to run it on XP in Parallels. Text never looks as good in XP as it does in OS X.

I'll wait for the Mac version....

I can't get it to install. I keep getting an error.
Re: 1st post from Google Chrome - DaviDC. - 09-02-2008
It downloaded a small installer file then did the rest on its own.
Re: 1st post from Google Chrome - ztirffritz - 09-02-2008
That 'rest' part is where it is failing. I have the installer, but it isn't downloading everything that it needs. That is the part that is failing.

Bummer.

It installed on my Vista Box OK. I've been using it for about 20 seconds, but I'd say it is faster than any of the other browsers I've used in Vista. Can't really say much for speed until they release a Linux version.

It passes the security test linked to here: http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/553864
but I think that the Acid test page is getting hammered by other nerds like me.

I managed to crash the whole browser...then again, I'm using Vista.

Installed fine on my work laptop running XP-SP2. Seems a bit faster than Firefox.
Hasn't crashed .... yet.
