Comments on: Study: Chrome reached nearly 2 million in U.S.

Nielsen Online finds that nearly 1.4 percent of U.S. Internet users tried Google Chrome in its first week of availability. Plus, it generated nearly iPhone-scale discussion.

Something smells fishy here... because I know I reached that "thank you" page at least 3 times when downloads crapped out.

that's all fine and good...I downloaded it, but since it constantly hangs up for no reason I have gone back to firefox...I like the idea of Chrome, but it needs more work.

Chrome is a very good browser thus far. There are only a few problems with it: 1. It does not remember where you save pictures or saved pictures like Firefox 3 does. That should be added in a future build.
2. There are a few 'compatibility' problems with a few pages that don't like Chrome and want you to have either Firefox 3 or IE when their website should work on Chrome since it supports Adobe Flash no problem.
3. The Bookmark Manager in Chrome is missing a 'Sort by Name' function so you don't have to go and manually reorder things in the bookmark menus by name yourself.
4. The scroll doesn't work correctly yet. It will scroll down MORE than one page (too far) with the wheels on mice, and leave you wondering where half the paragraph you were reading went to. It will also do this with the page down and page up buttons on keyboards.

Other than these four minor problems however.... Chrome is a damn good browser, and I am loving it.

Downloaded. Installed. Used. Uninstalled. Eagerly looking forward to fixes and enhancements.

Loving Chrome as my primary browser. Haven't had any crashes since I installed it.

[JuggerNaut]

Looking forward to the Mac and Linux versions when they come out.

Chrome reached nearly 2 million uninstalls in U.S. plus many more millions around the world!!!

I installed chrome and the excitement was short lived. After it hanged and did not show up few websites properly I switched back to firefox.

In terms of browser I dont see any big reason to use chrome, or maybe they are trying to do something similar to Adobe AIR

[Kwasiowusu]

Deceptive headline.
As has already been pointed out by others above, 2 million vistis to "Thank You" page is not equal to 2 milliin downloads, or anyhthing close to 2 million Chrome browsers in use.
But hey, keep on Google shilling. Not gonna make much difference to how Chrome sucks, or remove the Google spyware from Chrome.

[RobertAPierce]

I would be willing to try Chrome, but some of the things I read regarding the EULA and (what is essentially) Google spyware make me very unlikely to try it. Sorry Google, you have some excellent products and services, but I'm not going for that one.

I use Opera for Ubuntu and I still fill that Opera is the best browser to hit the internet but once Chrome is available for linux I will give it a try. I always found FireFox to be a step up on IE but it has never been my cup of tea. But hopefully Chrome will become my number two browser when it becomes available for Ubuntu.

[sting7k]

I tried it, and found I like firefox 3 more and went back. Maybe I'll try it again when its beta release is over, but with google who knows how long that will be. Is gmail out of beta yet?

[russkeller]

What do you want to bet that they're counting one person twice with a majority of those. How many of us installed it at the office and at home? Not sure it should be counted twice but it is a frakking fantastic browser I just wish it wasn't spyware.

chrome opens so much faster than firefox, and the dynamic homepage is a great feature. neither of these were enough to make me switch though. all it took was quicker page loads. can't wait for add-ons. was loving firefox, but there's no contest in terms of speed and interface.
