Google Chrome will give Google a ton of information about people’s browsing habits. I wander if it’s their intent to use this browser for the purpose of improving their algorithm. If so, it will be interesting to see the changes that come about.

@Symbian, I can’t see that Google would benefit from withdrawing support from other apps. It may think it is omnipetent but still doesn’t want to risk losing a major share of users.

Just downloaded and love the bookmarking. I also noticed that Google Adwords loads about 100 times faster than in IE. Since I spend a good part of my working day in Adwords I will definitely use it for Adwords the speed is very impressive. Congratulations Google looks like a winner!

I have downloaded and installed Chrome, so far I like, to be honest though I don't see the point of it, because in my eyes firefox is alot better. Daniel Cooper's last blog post..VELUX Duo Blinds - 2 in 1 - Blackout & Pleated!

I don’t know if it is just me, but it seems to be a memory hog when it is running on Vista

Chrome is disruptive technology.

The interesting questions to me are not if Chrome (beta) is ready for prime time (it is not) or which established browser will suffer more (they all will.) What I find more interesting is that it appears to have all the trappings of a disruptive technology hiding in plain sight.

I wrote more about this idea here:

I'm rarely an early adopter, and I doubt I will be for Chrome. But in the long run I imagine I'll be using it, particularly for the various Google applications that are steadily becoming more and more fundamental to my daily work. I'm already 100% on Gmail (POP'ing my various accounts directly into one master Gmail account) and have abandoned desktop email applications, and I use Google Reader for RSS feeds. Haven't used docs much yet, but if Google integrates Chrome tightly with Docs then it could be an attractive option over Office. Ami Ohayon's last blog post..My Neighborhood in Jerusalem

I think Google got it right from the word go although it's still in beta. I'm impressed by the speed and the clean look and feel of the interface. At first glance you may think it looks bare but there are some really cool features if you start poking your nose around. I use FF3 and I think it's a good browser but Chrome shows it has got what it takes to go further when Goog moves it out of beta. One feature I like is the bookmarking. Great promise this Chrome.

Frankly, I am not a first off the block trier of new things. I would rather wait and see what happens before I give up something that I am used to for something new and untried. Nicole Price's last blog post..The Fastest Growing Companies

Looks like something new to try for. Firefox do provide me with very good plugins. How about google chrome? Wei Liang's last blog post..Will High PR Give You Higher Traffic ?

I am quite happy with FireFox as it does all I need and more. Plus I find Google can be pretty mean and it wouldn't surprise me if they use the browser to screw more people over. James Mann's last blog post..Bum Marketing In A Nutshell

I used the browser for a while today, and i must say, it is pretty impressive. The pages load pretty quickly.

I’ve downloaded and installed it. I love the simplicity and it loads pages much faster than any other browser out there, and I like that very much. It’s like a turbo charged browser. So I’m looking forward to what they have up their sleeves next for us.

I like it so far…

Downloaded and installed. The thing seems a bit bare of features, but so does the Google's front page. It seems that since the browser is open-source and all that jazz - there might be more to come then we anticipate. Vlad's last blog post..More Gadgets, Less Fun

i’m willing to try it out just to see if it works more efficiently than FireFox… if it’s faster than Firefox, has tabs and isn’t IE, then i’ll use it

I’ve actually been quite impressed so far – mainly with the speed at which it starts up (definitely the quickest startup of a web browser I’ve seen, ok, it hasn’t got the featuresof Firefox yet, but still quicker than a clean install of Firefox, quicker than IE7 and Opera too) and the rendering.

I guess it will come into its own with more feature rich sites, such as GMail (which does seem very snappy).

So far, so good. Not sure I’ll be switching from FF3 just yet though.

I notice they’ve added a download link to google.com and .co.uk, so they’re pushing it from day one.
