    Google Browser on Tuesday

    Should be interesting.

    Was there a Beta for it?

    Got a link? I haven't seen it listed as a definite.

    Spend you some brain.

          As far as I know Google have always funded Mozilla.
          Be interesting to see what they have come up with but I would think it will be some time before it's a great option.

            I'll probably check it out. I will most likely stick with FireFox, though.

              Agreed.

              Not to mention, I wonder how long before this browser phones home with surfing data to the Google mothership.

                It's gonna run on webkit, Which is what safari uses , so all should be all good :D
                ( webkit is very similar to the gecko rendering of Moz, FF etc )

                    Yeah, that'll work out well when they own half the market.

                      Will there be all sorts of useful extensions? If it can't do all my loaded up Firefox can do, I don't see the point.

                      I'm sure plenty of average, everyday users will put it to good use.

                        They will tie it heavily into their Google free apps and then have you lock, stock and barrel. Why bother tracking a cookie when the browser can phone home to Google and tell them everything about what your looking at.

                        Hmmm.. scary.

                                  Google becomes scarier every day, but for some strange reason people keep bashing Microsoft and ignore that google has become MUCH worse.

                                        Google has enough data from me, I won't be using their browser anytime soon. Or their email, or their IM...


                                        A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                        So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                          It is an Open Source browser..so I am sure that any possible nasties/privacy issues will be found out by some geeks who can understand the code.

                                          Also it uses WebKit, so webpages should render well in Google's Chrome Browser if they render in Safari. Only thing is it has its own custom built Javascript engine, so any fancy JS may need to be tested.

                                          However, I won't switch to it (in the near future) for development work, etc, unless it gets plugins like FireBug (ChromeBug? hehe) developed for it.

                                                I'll check it out. Looks like they've done some good work under the hood. Though it may go the way of Google Talk, it is open source and will likely add to browser development over all.

                                                    That's just in case nobody pointed it out to you already.

                                                      Yep. Fucking assholes. Now I have to check my pages in yet another unneeded browser. Fuck. And, on a personal note - yeah.... like I'm going to use anything but my personalized firefox with all my extensions, themes, and tweaks. Fuck opera, fuck IE, fuck safari, and now fuck google.

                                                        I hope it's totally blows away firefox. I get so sick of hearing people praise that crappy brower I just wish it would end.

                                                                                http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/#

                                                                                Lack of privacy is the first thing that jumped into mind. But my IP is static so they know every time I log-in with an alias, what I search for, and what I buy. I can haz privacy plz?
