Google Chrome is an open source browser with many hints being made that it will be a
complete system. Google Chrome runs on what are called tabbed sessions with separate
processes so that if there is a crashed process, the rest of the browser will not
shutdown.
According to Zdnet, " (Chrome) adds a task manager and a hierarchical process
controller. It also has Gears, allowing web apps to work offline, plus multiple
innovations in garbage collection, security and user interfaces - including a
nine-pane automated favorites page, where the browser keeps your most-visited pages
front and centre."
Google Chrome will have automated test system known as Chrome Bot which will help with
selections. Google is hoping to emulate and do better than Mozilla Firefox and Webkit
as an open source browser application.

Yeah, I'm sure I'm going to trust Google.

I trust Google to be honest as much as I trust Hummingbird.

Yrrah - here's a prediction. Try it, and I predict that you will soon
abandon K-Meleon.
It is fast (loading), and it is open source (unlike MS browsers). You
can, if you choose, scrutinize the code. And if my reading of the Chrome
Comic book (http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html) is
correct, Chrome has a potential of being much safer than K-meleon or FF.
Things can rapidly change. And it's Google's vested interest to see that
this will be the situation with Chrome.

What is your opinion John, re: Google Browser?

Pretty sure I've made that clear at this point in other posts.

Please excuse/pardon my ignorance, opening another thread and wondering,
what was your opinion, re: google browser..
Well, I'll put it this way. I'm not going to be using the Google Browser.
Thanks
Have A Wonderful Evening
I downloaded it, and use it. My main criticism is there is no java plugin
for it. At least on my computer it tried to download one, and couldn't find
it! Otherwise, it seems to use less system resources than other browsers,
and is stable and fast. This is important to me, as I stream video, from
camstreams.com (http://www.ud233.camstreams.com). The browser has been
running all day, in order to keep my stream listed on the people index page.
So far, nary a glitch!

Google Chrome Download Vulnerability
added September 3, 2008 at 01:52 pm
US-CERT is aware of a vulnerability that affects the Google Chrome web
browser. This vulnerability is due to a default configuration that
allows files to be downloaded without prompting the user. In addition,
downloaded files can be opened with a single click, which could allow a
user to inadvertently open a malicious file.
US-CERT encourages users to enable the "Ask where to save each file
before downloading" option within the "Minor Tweaks" tab in the browser
preferences. Although this does not fix the underlying vulnerability,
selecting this option will warn the user before files are downloaded.
Users should still exercise caution when visiting and downloading items
from untrusted websites.
US-CERT will provide additional information as it becomes available.

Already tried that, no joy! My have to try a manual install
Steve R.
Not a problem, I'm smarter than that! As stated, it's mainly used to monitor
my streaming video.
