Google Chrome is a Web browser by Google, created to be a modern platform for web pages and applications. It utilizes very fast loading of web pages and has a V8 engine, which is a custom built JavaScript engine. Because Google has used parts from Apple's Safari and Firefox browsers, they made the project open source.

17.0.963.51 was released for Chromebooks only. The current beta for Mac still remains 17.0.963.46.

How many useless comments; search is your friend.

Chrome update itself quickly because it has built-in Adobe Flash and when this get updated, Chrome get too.

You don't like it? Where's the matter, just stay with Safari.

Period.

Still trying to figure out why a web browser should take 200MB on disk even if it does have its own flash engine. Runs fast but the bloat bothers me.

For some inexplicit reason the Chrome package contains versions 16.0.912.75 and 16.0.912.77, each being roughly 100 MB in size. I expect that the next update (probably Chrome 17) will clean this up.

This is a great browser. I don't really understand the whining.

I like to dig around in chrome://flags/ where you can remove the stupid downloads bar on the bottom of the browser window among dozens of other fun things. Of course, you could also bork the browser mucking around in there. So, be careful.

Another thing I do in there is disable the built-in version of Flash, so I can run a newer version.

And what does that have to do with the browser itself? Oh yeah, nothing.

I seem to be using safari mostly on macs, ie on win, ice weasel on debian etc - seems I don't care what browser I use and those are easy defaults. All do the same thing for a user. Speed on modern machines and fast connection is pretty much irrelevant these days.

Google Chrome is used mostly on their stuff I guess also although I don't use much Google staff personally.

Good browser though just I am tired of all these apps doing the same thing...no I really do not care about the letter t being styles wrongly in one or that the dom is a bit off on another when getting elements...just don't care as a user anymore which one I use.

Addons most are rubbish use once toys unless your have a special need. So who cares which browser people use.

Gives me quick access to webpages and notifies me if pages are not properly secured. So far no problems with this browser.

The problem in the biggining was the plugins, stability and some resources, but the idea was always great.

Now with tons of app in chrome app store and things like change the user without having to log out of everything or havint to use other browser, it's just the best, fastest and most beautiful browser for me.

I'm a photographer and videographer, a while ago Chrome was horrible to handle sRGB and other formats, now it handle as well as the others.

I love how fast you search on youtube, amazon, and every searchable site just using tab on the adress bar. I love how i can block ads, change my youtube completely and facebook with plugins, love it!

Chrome, like any other browser, is simply one of the possible ways for surfing the Internet; each of us has their own preferences or needs regarding the surfing the Internet, hence I think that there's no reason to debate about which is the best browser.

Comments describing why someone thinks Chrome (or any software) is best for them personally may be useful and interesting, while those claiming it's best without giving any specific reasons are ignorable.

Anyone have a reliable download (or, hell, even just one thrown up on a blog) of Chrome 13? You can't set up Cloud Print in 14 and 13 for Mac has vanished from the web.

Once i have updated my Google Chrome to the latest stable version,

Youtube is not working as normal, i just can hear what in the video but i cant see it ( i see my desktop instead in that box of the video)

(Same with Firefox!)

Is that problem from me or issue from the browser?
In addition, there is high CPU usage going on !!

Ok, does anyone with Lion, and the latest google chrome, get a sudden crash, when doing the following:

closing all open windows and tabs in chrome.

then choosing either new tab, or new window from the file menu.

Doing this for me on lion, causes chrome to beach ball and instantly crash.

I wish they'd figure out the rights they apply to the application. Firefox finally did. You have to delete Chrome from the Apps folder BEFORE trying to copy he new version. I'm admin of my machine and it's just idiotic to require that when almost EVERYBODY else in the known universe has it figured out. IDIOTS

Program appears to install correctly (March 2010) in the 'Applications' folder. When the program is selected, the program's drop-down headings (Chrome, File, Edit, etc.) will appear in the menu bar. However, the program otherwise will not launch. There is no error message.
