I'm sure you have some valid points, dead reckon, but could you, just for me, spell 'their' like that please? By the way, my son in law is Indian, and he can certainly write better English than you can, and I expect he might have trouble understanding your "annoying" accent, maybe?

This is pretty cool. You can "go incognito"

You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you
Learn more about incognito browsing.

As a note t'wards Dias, there is a bit of a difference between someone learning English now, and someone who was screwed by the school system his whole life trying too learn what they teach everyone that comes into this country so openly, namely, myself.

As a note t'wards Google Chrome, I'll probably check it out. But if it ain't got stumble, it ain't gonna work for me. I gotta have stumble when boredom hits. Though, I hate Google Updater... I always uninstall that, I'm hoping they'll integrate an updater into Google earth and such eventually.. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

I'll definately agree with you on that, which is why I'm not going to primarily use Google Chrome either. I'm sure over time they'll be getting plug-ins and other add-ons. I'd be willing to bet they'll be incorporating the Google Widgets into the browser as well which could be interesting.

One of Firefox's biggest draws is all the available add-ons they have and any browser that wants to be successful should definately have that as one of their top priorities.

    Just downloaded and installed - whole process took about 3 min including importing my FF settings. I've used it about 5 minutes and so far am impressed. Feels very 'lightweight' and is very quick, especially for a new beta. But, I actually saw an ad - no AdBlock+  :'(

    I heard google chrome is based on Apple Safari's WebKit rendering engine.

    But at least it doesn't say that I have an unsupported browser when I open up yahoo mail (unlike Apple Safari the last time I tried it and Safari on Windows looks super ugly  >:()

    It just needs an adblock tool like Firefox and that's all for now.

    Why Google Chrome? Fast browsing = $$$

    Quote
    Chrome's V8 engine

    Google's has a two-part claim to faster performance. One is its use of the open-source WebKit project, also used in Apple's Safari, to render Web pages on the browser screen engine for showing Web pages. More important for Web applications, though, is the brand-new V8 project for running programs written in JavaScript.
    JavaScript has grown from modest beginnings into the language of many fancy, interactive Web sites and the foundational technology for rich Web applications using a technology called Ajax. However, for many applications, it's not powerful enough, which is why Picnik's online photo editing tools use Adobe's Flash and why Microsoft is pushing its own technology called Silverlight.
    Google, Yahoo, and others, though, are JavaScript fans, and speeding it up will boost countless Web sites, not just bleeding-edge applications such as Google Docs. Faster JavaScript performance is why Mozilla is so eager to talk about a project called TraceMonkey coming with Firefox 3.1, why WebKit programmers are working hard on a project called SquirrelFish, and one reason why Microsoft is eager to move people to its forthcoming Internet Explorer 8.

    Well, Google has said it's still beta so it is still okay. Only feature that beats this google browser in firefox is firefox's addons.

    This is what internet explorer should have looked like.

    well at least there's IE Tab addon in firefox. If on any rare occasions that a website needs to use IE or a webpage needs to display adverts to properly work, I can use IE tab!
