Google Chrome - try it out!

Google Chrome, the browser from Google is here. Read the comic, the announcement, my review or other reviews. Or better still just download it and try it out.

It is fast, looks good, works as expected in most cases and also has a few cool things up its sleeve.

  1. Too bad the sandbox feature doesn’t work with my Symantec Endpoint Client. But seems like a decent browser so far. Btw, if you do not know, google collects all your browsing habits, you consent to it in the T&C while installing chrome.

    If you have a problem with this, use incognito mode.
    Waiting for the add-ons..

  2. 2 workarounds found on the Net.

    First option disables Chrome Sandbox, which is a bit of a dampener since I think sandboxing is one of its best features. But even if you do you are not worse of that whatever browser you currently use that does not have this feature anyways.

    Second options changes something in the Symantec client… not sure what the impact on the functionality is.

    By your comment around the T&C did were you referring to this - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-chrome-license-agreement/

    Or is there something else in there that monitors my browsing habits… ?

  3. And I sorely miss the extensions too… seems that it will be some more time before they release the API framework details…

  4. OK, understood what you were saying about Google receiving user browsing information…
