I've been trying out the new web browser from Google. www.google.com/chrome/Its plain, but fast and it will import your favs/bookmarks from IE and FireFox.

I'm going to give it a while for bugs to be worked out, but I'm interested in this.
I primarily use IE for the integration with windows & apps, but have switched to Firefox for watching streamed movies and such because i keep getting plug-in errors with IE all the time. I use google for almost everything online. A switch to their Chrome browser may not be so bad.

Most of the features that chrome has are already used or where created in Opera, like the "home" feature opera has had the speedstep technology for a long time now to have all your favorites linked when you open a new Tab, all in all i feel like chrome is ripping off opera and i dunno that just really doesn't make me wanna try it, i would rather stick with Opera.

I still use Opera 90% of the time. Then FireFox, IE and Now Google Chrome. Your right Anjel, Chrome has alot of features the Opera started............but then again...........tabbed browsing was invented by Opera and all web browsers now use tabs.

All the articles I've read said that Firefox invented tabbed browsing. peace. bubs Ummm....Opera invented it YEARS before firefox was firefox, hell it invented tabbed browsing back when firefox was still mozilla/netscape. Sorry but what you read was wrong my friend. Opera invented Tabbed browsing long ago.

Opera did not invent tabs, Netcaptor did. And infact Mozilla DID have tabs before opera VIA an extension for mozilla/netscape. Mozilla had tabs a year before Opera and Internet Explorer had tabs 3 years before that VIA Netcaptor.
Google will take over the world.

Anheuser & I like them there lil tabs on beer-cans ;D History: Mikola Kondakow of Thunder Bay, Ontario invented the pull tab version for bottles in 1956[Canadian patent 476789]. Then, in 1962, Ermal Cleon Fraze of Dayton, Ohio invented the similar integral rivet and pull-tab version (also known as rimple or ring pull), which had a ring attached at the rivet for pulling, and which would come off completely to be discarded. He received U.S. Patent No. 3,349,949 for his pull-top can design in 1963 and licensed his invention to Alcoa and Pittsburgh Brewing Company. It was first introduced on Iron City beer cans by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company. The first soft drinks to be sold in all-aluminum cans were R.C. Cola and Diet-Rite Cola, both made by the Royal Crown Cola company, in 1964. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_can

I didn't know about this Netcaptor thing, but I was further confused in my reading because I thought Mozilla and Firefox where the same thing. So when Mozilla (apparently incorrectly) was credited with creating tabbed browsing, I thought that meant Firefox too. And to be honest, I'm still confused. Isn't Mozilla the parent organization for Thunderbird and Firefox? I thought one was the umbrella, and Thunderbird and Firefox were the email and browser spines respectively.
peace. bubs
