FYI

Version 1.0 non beta is now available for update or download.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Seriously... people are still using it?

I think the real news is: Google actually made something that's not still in beta.

Relatively quickly too. That's impressive.

Do I have to download the update? I don't see an update option anywhere in the app. -points

Yep, it is my home browser.  If it had an opera import I'd be using it on my laptop also.

Need to look closer then.  Found it in two mouse clicks:  Tool menu -> About Google Chrome -> Update Now.

They still didn't implement the import feature? Slackers.

For IE and FF yes but not for Opera the last time i checked.

Yo Obes.

IMO Chrome will eventually replace FF.

Oh.  And usual.  Fuck IE.

[ober]

Really?  Somehow I doubt that, but maybe I'll give it a second look.

Though it is much faster, saves monitor real estate, and is tight for a new browser, Chrome is not a competitor in the FF league yet.  However, with maturity, and good programming /design decisions it could easily be so.  I think it likely.  It needs tweaks, support for extensions, and the ability to use some sort of public plug-ins.

Now.  Once it gets in the game and can truly replace FF, Google could simply cease pouring $$ into FF.  Over 70% of FF funding comes from Google advertising.  I would suppose that if Google decided to be the dominant (non-IE) browser, an easy way would be to turn off the money pipe. 

Thoughts?
