Hm, no video for this event?

[SebDavies]

Great coverage!

[SDRebel_007]

i downloaded it and like it a lot so far. Fast and apparently much more stable than IE8 beta 2, and fancier too. Go google :)
no problems so far, other than a pop up taking over my main window :( (I opened a site with a popup and the pop up took over the main site and displayed in full size)

Creating pages in Google Groups is not supported on Chrome :P
How can Google's own browser not work for it's websites?

[SDRebel_007]

IE8 is apparently having trouble with several Microsoft websites, including live search and mail....
all I need is to figure out how to bookmark a page... and importing bookmarks didn't work for me :(

[vaishal867]

I like th UI how do we access the favorite without hitting CTRL +B?

Chrome has been installing for 10 minutes. Seems to be stuck at initializing...

This is on the second attempt as well. It seems to launch a program called Googleupdater whose process can't be interupted.

Advisable to have a quick look at this link before downloading "chrome"

[erok54]

eh... i dont like it. My companies website loads up slower and there are spaces in odd places.

[pgp_protector]

Bummer, Chrome fails the ACID Test

[jonburce_ddt]

Ouch... no Java support in Google Chrome. That is quite an overight...

It has Java support. It's just not working for some people yet.

[Imalittleteapot]

Correction. Apparently it needs Java 6 Update 10 installed which I already had installed prior so it just worked for me, but others would need to update.

Wow. Something i like and something i don't. The hype about the speed of the browser rendering pages is completely true. Chrome loads pages so fast it feels like it's loading a page from a local directory. It's...amazing. I couldn't believe it when i went to youtube and digg

Something i don't like: On my laptop's touch pad i have a little strip i can slide my finger down to scroll up and down pages. It doesn't work in Chrome! Seeing as how most of the time i use my pad rather than a mouse, this needs to be fixed

Lastly, are there apps for chrome like in firefox? I'd like to have gmail checker

[hxf148]

I have the same icon/problem, can't scroll up with my touchpad.

[rcardona2k]

@jonburce_ddt: Java support requires 1.6 update 10rc. After that, Java works fine in Chrome

[ajey19889]

showing error message..........

For anyone who wishes to fix the issue "cannot scroll up using certain mouse pads" issue quickly, I have released a patcher. You can download it here:

Just run chrome_patch.exe. It will patch chrome.dll to fix the issue.
