I gave it a try. It's still way too beta for me, but the concept of multi-threading on a web browser is awesome.

I'm still fascinated that with Vista I can flip through different windows, though I forget what the button combination is.
If you have symantec endpoint protection it won't work.
I just found this out for myself.
Hopefully patch soon

I saw this earlier and figured I would give it a try.
I should go back in time and tell myself to invest in Google.

hell, if i went back in time, i'd start the fast-food industry and patent/copyright every piece of it
Internet explorer ftw. New broswers will always have worse bugs and incompatibility issues. Also just because it isn't linked directly to my anti-virus system. Also there is the constant worrry of exploits that will probably come up.:laugh:

it's a button you would click, normally on your quick links icon on the task bar.
I dont think i'll bother trying it till it's off beta testing.

I migrated today from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome.
Chrome is a very nice piece of programming, it's quite fast, very resource conscious and I like the simplistic design.
Also, the Task Manager is quite a nice feature.
Pretty good browser if you ask me, I like Chrome a lot, even thought it has some slip ups at the way it shows some site. Being an early Beta (ver 0.2) I think they'll solve the issues pretty soon.

If I hold down the Flag key and Tab, then it shows every window and continuously cycles through them until I get the one I want.
Using it now at work.
It's fast.
Only thing is I can't scroll left/right/up/down by holding down my mousewheel.

windows key + tab with Aero enabled for the "Flip 3D" effect in Vista :)

Got chrome.. while it is a bit faster than other browsers i've used, i'll be waiting for new versions. also, you can expand textboxes! thats pretty darn cool.

So far chrome loads slower than firefox for me so I am sticking with firefox for now. Also, I'd like to see it out of beta before I give it another real try.

Assuming you went back in time, you really couldn't invest in any of these companies when they began.
Almost all were started by a few guys who owned 100% of the company, and continued provate ownership until their companies were massive.
Look at Google, you couldn't buy stock in them until like 2 years ago.

Assuming you could go back in time the only stock that comes to my mind is Berkshire Hathaway - Warren Buffett's Stock. You could originally purchase it for $1, it currently trading for around $120,000. So some quick math means $9 then would have made you a millionaire today. Nuff said.
Oh, and Google Chrome is sweet, but at least for now Firefox is still my number one browser. Give them a year though and Google will catch up/surpass them.

I absolutely love this browser, only thing that scared me about it, was I just got done looking at NSFA (Not Safe For Anywhere) site and it showed up at the Google Chrome homepage history thing, with pictures :O, but I managed to stumble around the delete history area.

Well Chrome is getting a good work out from security people and hackors.
Aw see what I mean exploit mania unless they work on it constantly and improve it. Till then Internet explorar all the way.

Should be even better when they enable extensions for it and more features.

i use it.
it is a simple browser with no add on's to slow it down.
Yeah, I've found myself using it 80% of the time.
There are still a few sites that don't work well with it.
