Google is launching its own web browser to compete in the market against Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Safari. A beta is scheduled to launch tomorrow in 100 countries.

Just downloaded it. Doesn't seem to do anything that Mozilla doesn't do; it is just more integrated with Google and the search engine.

What else is there to a web browser after the... web browserness? That seems like it would be enough. The tab idea is a good one, and the only innovation that has come around in a while, but Mozilla did that years ago.

Seems good this far...EXCEPT! When I click my mouse scroll thingy I don't get that thing you can use to scroll with...you know the one? IT JUST ISN'T THERE!

There's no scrolly thingy? this is an outrage!

Small annoyance, when I right click a link and want to open in a new tab, I generally right click again (because Firefox lets you) but Chrome does not.

I don't know if it's just me...but everytime I try to run any kind of media on Chrome my computer starts lagging like hell...

FF >>>>>>>>> Chrome

That's odd, I haven't had any problems. If anything, my FF Flash was slowing down and Chrome seemed to handle the larger Flash videos just fine. Chrome has crashed once on me so far...still a Beta.

I used IE7 until last week. Switched experimentally to Chrome. It's awesome if you ask me, fast and efficient.

Selecting text (like when editing a post) can be a pain though! Fix it Google, fix it now!
