Google taking over the intarwebs? No Wai!

Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:00 pm

It seems that they are! Google has released a new web browser, Google Chrome. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know what it's like. Why not try it out?

What's next, Google TVs?

I saw that! I downloaded it, and it's really cool so far! And it has a built in spell checker, which I really need. :oops:

This is this very page in Google Chrome!

Chrome has a quite a few interesting features. I like best that all the tabs operate independently. No more all tab crashes! I'm still clinging to FireFox though. :)

I'm really liking Chrome so far. Maybe I'll stick with it.

Firefox has a spell checker. I've been using it for over a year now. :)

That's interesting.

Hm, maybe when I have more time I'll try it out.

I'm going to try it out.....
But I still cling to Safari :P

After a while Firefox just annoyed me, and I won't begin with IE....

Things missing: Can't press center mouse button to scroll down fast, can't list visited sites

We are Google.
You're biological and technological distinctiveness shall be added to our own.
Resistance is futile.



Because Cyberman references were getting boring.

Taking over the internet? Hahhaha. Try taking over the world.

I'm honestly starting to think that after seeing some video my digital publishing teacher made us watch lol.

Besides, if they're watching what you search with just the search engine who knows with the browser.

Looks kinda interesting though....

Everytime I run a Root search for spyware and such, there's always a good dozen or two of Spyware courtesy of Google.
Even with the damn thing being blocked, no less.

It's all fairly minor stuff (They use it to personalize ads) but even so.

I've tried Chrome out, it's pretty sleek. I'm sure it will be great in a few months, and I will probably switch from Firefox. I'll still keep Firefox around though, so now I'll have 3 browsers to use. I love Opera too. ;_;
