ONE GUY MAYBE needs Google's New Browser.

Download: http://www.google.com/chrome
Read the comic if you need to be told first why it's better (I read the whole thing): http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html

It's seriously a lot faster, the UI takes a lot less of your screen, it handles memory a LOT better, and has a lot of other neat features. Try it now, before risking another day with a sluggish browser.

We allready noticed and made a thread about it, I'm getting it as we speak.

[SnakeClock]

Sweet Jesus, Google's conquest of the internet continues.

[GearBoxClock]

Already Have it.

[Topcatyo]

Installing it now.
Funny, I just read about it somewhere else.  I didn't realize it actually came out.

[Berserk Berserker]

It clearly doesn't like vBulletin.

No drop-down menus, no fancier text editor...

though I noticed that with other WebKit browsers too like Safari.

[Topcatyo]

Trying it out now.

EDIT:: Scroll-wheel click doesn't work.  Fuck this, I'm going back to Firefox.

Scroll-wheel click works for my mouse. Weird.

And it's an early beta, you have to expect some things not to work yet. Overall the experience seems to be a loooot better than Firefox or IE though.

[GearBoxClock]

Fucking awesome. All it needs is some improvements, that will happen in future updates, and then it would be the perfect browser. It doesn't seem to enjoy scrolling down though...

[Kombucha]

Works kinda slow for me.

Nice otherwise, but I think I'll go back to Firefox.

[Losperman]

Yeah, someone sent me the comic this morning and I was kind of shocked. I heard about it long ago, but hadn't heard any updates in a long time. Wasn't even sure it was still coming out.

Sounds pretty nifty from the comic. I'll be downloading it when I get home.

[FluxCapacitorClock]

I got it just now. I was trying to log into photobucket so I could upload an image of my processes(chrome v. firefox memory useage) and got this:

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/Stormwatch36/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I don't get that, because Firefox can find it just fine.



Clicking the scroll wheel doesn't work. There's no status bar, unless it's somewhere else or can be enabled and I haven't found it. It hates clockcrew.cc currently, but I blame the complex layouts we have on that one. That's just what I've discovered in 5 minutes of use. It still needs a lot of work, and by that I mean that it's currently shit. It might be good later though, once they fix it up a lot more.


EDIT: Uploaded via Firefox:


Not exactly a significant difference. :\

[SageClock]

Read the comic before making arguments about the memory handling. Opening a couple tabs real quick and checking task manager isn't going to show the difference.

I don't know that the memory handles better as an empirical fact yet (i.e. seen with my own eyes), but if it works the way the comic illustrates, it's going to be a significant difference, especially for more long-term usage or with lots of browsing within a single session.

I have no issues with the scroll wheel click and .CC, while behaving a little differently, still functions fine (the scrolling can stick a little, but it's barely noticeable on my end). I'm wondering if maybe the platform has something to do with it also. I'm using a mid-to-upper range Vista laptop here. It might not be quite so fine-tuned to work with XP as well, I don't know.

The status bar appears when you hover over something or it has a message to display. It disappears otherwise.

Oh well, at least you guys are trying it. Check back on it later.

yeah, filed a bug report on the vBulletin issues. Safari does it too so I think its a problem with the engine.

[CaulkClock]

Laggy scrolling, but I may stick to this.

Also I made a thread in the correct forum fuck you

[TequilaClock]

Funny, I bumped across it when opened Firefox, kinda ignored it and now you insisted. I'll check it out, it souns cool.

[Berserk Berserker]

p.s. why use the scroll wheel when you can just use the scroll ring on your tablet :P

[Wind-up Clock]

I'll give it a try later on.

Also, i thought that comic style seemed familiar.

[Pin Clock]

I'm considering this, the comic gave me a good glance at it.
