It's a rumour no more – Google really doesn't want to spy on you.

Yeah, that's an old bug in WebKit which was fixed in June. Hopefully Google will implement the fix in the next release.

nice clean browser, almost too clean! First impressions are that i like it, incredibly fast page loading and i think that's what most people want right?

I prefer firefox's firebug inspector tool though, is chrome customisable with add-ons like firefox? If so, then it might just switch me :)

Another bug, if you grab the scrollbar and pull it up to the top, but go higher than the scroll bar itself, you get dragged right back down to where you started.

This baby is nice!

I think enough has been said already so I don't really want to echo anything, but not meaning to be negative at all, it is a shame that this is vunerable to the same sort of thing that Safari was four months ago.

Been using it for a few days now and the sheen is getting tainted. Anyone else get major issues looking at sites with Flash on? Looking at BBC and newspaper sites, the Flash video bits seem to really slow it down and screw it up.

Ive had some random issues, where not all forms work and staff.

Its still a beta though, so I guess they will fix that! Also, would be nice to have the google toolbar built in :D

Still not available for Linux... It's built on KHTML so I'm curious to know if it will be better than Konqueror (doubt it). Still, it should be a good testing platform for Windows users.
