I will add that when you are used to mouse gestures, you cannot live without it. And opera implements it good, firefox plugins do not.

so far I can say that is has a nice, clean interface, and that it's DAMN FAST.
added on the 2008-09-02 21:27:41 by v3nom v3nom
agreed, it's frigging fast indeed! but what i didn't like so far was the default install location and that GoogleUpdater.exe that sticks to your process tree just like a slug.

wait a second! a huge memory leak? the memory usage goes up continuously!

Super quick impression.

Pleasant streamlined UI, no full page zoom :\, apparently no possibility to change the keyboard shortcuts :\ ( I want my shift+enter and ctrl+shift+enter back ), really sweet task manager and memory tab ( too bad it doesn't auto-refresh ), pretty good rendering engine ( well that's webkit so of course it's good, altough a bit buggy with Canvas ), the JS engine is freaking fast ( twice faster than Safari 4 ). The debugger is bascially the one found in Safari 3-4 ( so quite good too ). Like Safari 4, it some times takes a ridiculous time to load a page. Haven't figured why yet. Neja made the JS debugger cry due to the BMP images generated on the fly that it kept appending to the Resources tab. Hum.

Definitely a good start.

Just rided with Google Chrome. My first impression is:

Opera sucks. I can't use other browsers any more. Now "control" ... "t" ... where is "t"?
Sunspider JS benchmark:

Chrome:
============================================
RESULTS (means and 95% confidence intervals)
--------------------------------------------
Total: 1671.4ms +/- 3.2%

FF3.0

============================================

--------------------------------------------
Total: 3139.6ms +/- 0.8%

HOYL ISH!!!

buckethead: 3d tomb 2 is lightning fast? at that (post stamp size) resolution I would expect a bit more from that dual core 2GHz CPU under my table :P ~10-15fps here..and it looks like crap ;)

p.s.: it does not run much faster than in FF3, btw.

whoops :) po1: I just noticed that *you* wrote that game. didn't mean to offend you :) I guess this whole browser/JS bloatware stuff brings out the grumpy twerp in me :=)

For some reason it shows a massive amount of I/O reads in the task manager. What's up with that? It's increasing all the time, even while not browsing for a few minutes.

It makes me paranoid :)
Weird Hermes, it's nice on my E2140 (half cache core duo), how do you get that framerate ? Kind hard to say with the step, but when I walk against a wall it seems like 60 FPS here
hey rob, I noticed that, too!! it stopped after half an hour or so.. wtf
