ON IT.

<3

Thanks!

 

[Siebzehn50]

Nice! The best browser just got a little better.

 

[Operations]

Does the Ad block extension truly block ads now or does it simply keep on hiding them?

 

[overthehill99]

Is it not out for Mac or something? Went to About Google Chrome and it says I have the latest version (5.0).

 

[The Lamonster]

Downloaded it for my work PC today, and noticed it looked different but I thought it was just because this is XP :lol

 

[Lucius86]

Updated, thanks for the heads up!

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I used to be a firefow guy. But now I' m starting to think I'll go Chrome...

Is there such a thing as WOT and smooth scrolling for chrome ?

Is it that better than firefox ?

 

[Fjolle]

I'm running chrome 7

 

[enzo_gt]

Minor differences it seems? The tabs just got bigger it seems, which appears to be counter intuitive since the whole point of Chrome was to have as much webpage viewing space as possible.

Awesome bar keeps me using Firefox because it destroys what Chrome has but if I need anything specific quick I'll use Chrome for the speed.

 

[JBuccCP]

Definitely looks a bit slicker now.

 

[alr1ght]

it broke my bookmarks tweak (button in bar). I need that as I'm not a fan of the bookmarks bar. A firefox like search engine would be nice too (I know that the address bar is a search, but i like FF's implementation).

 

[Lucius86]

OP, you pic previews are the same for the old & new version.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Oh hell yeaaaa.. Procrastination just got a whole lot better.

 

[ChoklitReign]

Holy fucking crap it's fast. I was back to Firefox as my main browser but this might change my mind.

 

[freshair]

did they add a warning box yet for the osx version for when you accidentally apple+q instead of apple+w

 

[zoku88]

Did they fix that problem where a page with a lot of images would not load correctly?

 

[jamieson87]

I want that theme in the OP.

 

[unomas]

Been hooked on Chrome after switching from firefox which I used for years, just can't beat the speed of it.

 

[BeeDog]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there any extension for Chrome that adds RSS feeds in an intuitive and integrated way (e.g. a sidepane)? It's the only reason I'm still using Firefox (too used to the "Brief" extension), and I'd love to have something similar in Chrome, since I'm sick of the memory hogging Firefox does.

 

[Pachimari]

Thanks OP!
I got an important question here, is it possible to minimize the tabs, so that only the websites' logos are shown on the tab like before?

 

[Jeels]

Nice, I have much more space now to view web pages, and the new UI looks much cleaner!

 

[kaskade]

This is awesome. Thanks for the birthday gift google.

Pinning Tabs, yes.

"Pin tab" with a Right Click? Yeah.

Been my preferred browser for 2 years now.

 

[Vox-Pop]

I hope the new version is more stable. Currently Chrome is sluggish on my mac.

 

[Razorskin]

Does Chrome have a webmail notifier like extension?

 

[Harry_Tequila]

Right clicking on the tab and selecting Pin Tab seems to do it.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Google Mail Checker, by Google

 

[teiresias]

My Chrome isn't showing an update being available on my Mac.

 

[jamesinclair]

How does chrome compare to firefox in memory usage?

 

[zoku88]

If anyone else was curious, it seems like the answer is "no

How does chrome compare to firefox in memory usage?

Depends on the number of tabs.

Lower y axis intercept but the slope is steeper.

 

[curls]

Yeah, chrome is not very good at displaying animated .gif files for some reason.

 

[alr1ght]

is there any way I can get to the task manager via a button on the main browser page?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Just updated. Love the darker blue title bar (would be transparent if I wasn't on my netbook with 7 Starter and no Aero right now) and gray UI, less distracting for sure. And love how they got rid of the ugly bars around the extension badges. Just set up extension and autofill sync, will do it again when I get home.

 

[Vox-Pop]

or large pics.

I'm getting a prompt telling me that I don't have permission to upgrade. :/

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Surely Shift + Esc isn't too much work?

 

[r4z4]

Only thing stopping me from jumping to Chrome is the fact that I cant auto-delete history on exit on Mac. Windows users can use an extension which does that though.

Edit: Wow this is lightning quick! And it looks super slick.

Go into finder and trash the old chrome app.

The UI looks a lot better btw.

 

[Harry_Tequila]

I swear, not two weeks ago I was saying to someone that it was ridiculous that http:// was still visible in modern browsers. I should have posted it to myself in an envelope or something. :lol

 

[layzie1989]

Very, very nice, google...

 

[alr1ght]

same. some are okay, but the larger ones play very slowly.

Thanks, it works now.

 

[Lamel]

Woo! looks awesome and is FAST.

 

[btkadams]

how the hell is there already a 6? lol didnt the first chrome browser just come out a couple years ago??

 

[rezuth]

I like Chrome but the GUI is almost offensive. (Yes I have gotten spoiled by my iPhone and OS X)

 

[U2NUMB]

Thanks for the heads up on the new version. So far so good...

 

[teiresias]

No, you've gotten used to your iPhone and OSX. Personally, I find the iPhone UI somewhat offensive at this point (and I owned an original 2G iPhone) and like OSX, but I don't find Chrome highly unwelcome in the OSX environment. It doesn't stand out to me as being bad, there's practically no UI at all for crying out loud.

Google took it out of the dev builds longer ago than that. I think there was a small outcry in June.
