Hello.
After downloading Google Chrome browser, I was a little skeptical about
it.My first thought was, how about privacy?
There are so many different stories, opinions and views on a subject of
Google tracking our internet behaviour. Internet sites are trying to get
as much information about our web browsing, computer info and so on.
Main reason for this kind of paranoia are different maliciously
software, spyware, greyware and computer viruses.
First impression: Google Chrome is simple, it does not bother us with
too much options. Reading about how it works reveal to us that every
tab is separated browser. That's way tabs are above address bar.
Working with tabs is simple. It's fast and in general simple to use.
Yust be careful when closing a browser, it close without asking what to
do with open tabs.
Privacy: First I was looking for a way to disable suggestion of web
addresses. I must say that it can be an useful tool, but I just wonted
this functionality to be turned off.
It's easy done, by disabling the option in Tools/Options/Basic/
default search: Manage; Unchecked the options: »Use a suggestion....«
How about clean browsing without a trace on a computer: It is also
there under Page icon's menu: New incognito window with short cut
Ctrl+Shift+N. Browsing on the Internet in this window does not leave
any trace , no history, no cookies and no temporary files. It's all
deleted when Incognito window is closed.
Conclusion: In my opinion this is a good alternative to most well
known browsers. Because of it's simplicity I'm probably going to use
this browser together with other available browsers. If I'm going to
like it or not is going to be shown after using it for a while. Then
I'm going to write another opinion about this subject.

Aha. So your post was just a spam for your blog?
Sorry, your privacy-invading browser won't run with my operating system.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and FireFox for most of my web
browsing. That being sufficient, I don't need another browser or
leaky sieve of an operating system, M$.

That is exactly what I use. My browsing is about equally divided between
Firefox 3 and Opera, and Thunderbird for email. I do like the Windows
newsreader 40tude Dialog, so I run that with Wine.
In the last three days, I've convinced two more friends to switch from
XP to Ubuntu. Both are very pleased. :-)
