Im considering switching from FF to GC... its getting rather impressive now..

comment gurnaik said on 6th August 2009

My version of Chrome is actually 3.0.196.2.

comment TheEvilGenius said on 6th August 2009

Forgive my ignorance, but is Chrome still in Beta? If so, do we have a date for the final release?

comment OldTimer said on 6th August 2009

Changed to Chrome about 2 weeks ago after being a Firefox user for a while. Not 100% (crashes on BA web-site for example) but very much quicker than FF or IE.

@TheEvilGenius - Chrome is out of Beta now, this is a Beta for the next release.

When I use Chrome and I´m in Fullscreen mode(F11) I´m not able to get acess to my bookmarks or the adressbar(Omnibox) and the only way to get acess to these is to get out of the fullscreenmode.

Is there a way like in Firefox, to get acess to those things and that they autohide when not in use?

comment MrGodfrey said on 6th August 2009

I'll also probably switch to Chrome too; Firefox is starting to feel a bit bloated. I'm very impressed by Google lately, even if they are inevitably going to turn eeevil ;)

Woot now I can pimp da chrome like the average myspace page.

comment Gordon said on 6th August 2009

@TheEvilGenius Chrome v2.x is not beta, version 3.0 is beta currently.

comment xbrumster said on 6th August 2009

it doesnt take Gg very long to progress Chrome to near 3.x considering it has only been on the market for a few month...

Come on Google - let's have a version for the Mac - it's the one thing I miss since switching from a PC.

@Ron - If you're not bothered about running developer versions, you can get an official Chrome build for Mac from:

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=mac

I've had relatively few problems with it, but please note that it doesn't have support for a bookmark menu, or flash yet (plus there may be a few bugs which need ironing out).
