Does it support:

-Spell Check    Yes
-Auto-complete address by searching through your entire history with sippets of similar addresses    Yes
-Good search toolbar    The search toolbar is integrated with the address bar. This has more info.
-Shortcut/Favorites "toolbar"    Yep
-Good plug-ins/plugin support    Right now, as far as I know, no, which is why I won't be using it regularly.

Just wondering.  Also, not a fan of the look.

I been using it and I like it.  I'll keep using it until I have a reason to switch back.  Although lack of RSS might be that reason.

edit: two more things... One, sometimes the window is over top f everything and I can't access the hidden start menu at the bottom of the screen.

More importantly... Where do i download the plugins?!?!?

Everything he said. Though the only plugin I really care about is adblock plus, I don't need anything else. :|

im assuming its open source so it will be probably a few weeks before the plug ins and extensions come rolling in

I do like that it is running smoother than Firefox and opening stuff faster.  Was slowing down a bit when I was checking a movie news site, but it's doing pretty nice for the most part.  Just hoping for a newer theme soon cause this one is pretty...lame...

Definitely runs faster than IE and FF, and loads pages faster.  Though, as others have said, once it has a larger library of plugins, it'll be worth more than just a cursory useage.

Wow, it really chugs on flash and freezes up on PDFs. Does not like the third-party plugins so far...

Also, in before name change. There already is a 'Chrome' in the os world.

Still full of holes and vulnerabilities. D:

I'll probably be sticking with Crazy Browser regardless.

I wish there was a browser that didn't have the problem of movie players/flash not working when I have more than 50 tabs open.

You're complaining about Chrome's security while using an IE based browser? Oh the irony...

About Chrome: it has indeed a lot of privacy/security issues and I miss my firefox add-ons too much... TBH I'm waiting for firefox 3.1 which will also have a jscript VM (the source of chrome's speed) and a lot of other improvements....


Signature temporarily out of order until I get off my lazy ass to fix it.
