hey, it is slower today... must be the rush of the traffic to check it out.
pretty funny- before today it was like opening pages from your own computer. now there is a slight delay on some pages

Downloaded yesterday, but it did not load some of the pages I frequently visit. Switched back to Firefox until the real version comes out.

I like everything about Chrome though. Thumb up!!

thumbs up here, but gmail works great for me...? maybe you have an earlier version?

Anyway, Chrome is supposed to take up many fewer cpu resources than firefox while displaying a page that contains Flash. that alone gets a thumbs up for me. can't wait until more third party apps support it.

slight subject switch, I downloaded the latest version of Google earth and it sucks. Lots of squares overlaying the map that won't go away. A highway is cut up and doesn't line up etc etc. How do I go back to the prior version until they fix it?
