Google has announced that its Chrome web browser is now available for Mac OS. I love Chrome on Windows and know that a few of you are total Macheads. Let me know what you think of Chrome for Mac OS when you have a chance.

I just tried to post a comment on here using chrome and it told me the link was broken…a few times. Back to the drawing board I guess.
@Smartguy That's a bummer. Commenting works fine on Chrome for Windows.
Let's try it again.
there we go. a reboot was in order I guess.
it installed in 10 seconds and downloaded in about 20 seconds. Not bad.
DLing right now as I one day promised I would.
@N8R
Let me know if you had to reboot. I installed and opened it up…tried to leave a comment and it told me the link was broken. A reboot seemed to solve what was wrong or unless Ray's site had a fit at that same instant I hit submit.
Preliminary tests successful. I can now see my new tramp stamp gravatar.
I'll give you a full synopsis by tomorrow. I'll run it all day.
What's the point of an "incognito" window?
@N8R You mean the pron window?
@ R Pad
Ok… but seriously, what makes it different from a normal window? I experimented, and other people in the room besides me can still see it.
No cookies?
@N8R No cookies, doesn't save browsing history, etc.
@ R Pad
Ok, I'll go experiment with the pron window. This will take 5 min to an hour and a half depending on my mood.
I give it 30 seconds and you are back.
@n8r
may i suggest eskimotube.com? i hear thats a nice site…
lol@eskimo tube
lots of dirty dirty nose rubbing
lol, i just pulled that site up in the school lab. oops
This is beta testing at its finest.
Ha Eskimotube lol. Those silly Brazzers!
I usually prefer tnaflix.com over eskimotube… but to the eskimo's credit, Ashlynn Brooke is the first chick on the site when i looked at it and I'm definitely a fan of her work.
more of a pic guy. GHM.
I do really enjoy safari but I know Google is popular so I'll give it a try
I have been using Safari but gonna give Chrome a shot. Firefox has been sucking on OS X for me lately.
@Smartguy – GHM?
I prefer to use Firefox. We got invites for the Google Wave beta to work on our site, but half our staff never uses it. Drive me nuts because it sure beats flooding my inbox with stuff.
(ahem, Shockwave, did you get your invite?)
For the peeps trying out Chrome, please try out a tab on a site that usually crashes another browser. One of my favorite features of Chrome is that each tab is an independent process, so if something goes wrong, only the tab should fail, not the entire browser.
@ R Pad
Browser crash has never consistently happened to me on a Mac.
I had one kernel panic ever and that was because I (personally) didn't seat my RAM right. Did a do over, and it's perfect.
Tell me a site to go to and I'll try it with at least 3 different browsers.

enjoy. updates at 11:30 am and pm.
What an inconspicuous name for a pron site!
@ #27 & 28 – There you go, N8R, lol
what a weird ass site lol.
Smartguy… I don't even want to hazard a guess as to how you managed to "stumble" upon this site.

@Iceman
haha, my iphone doesn't have flash……had to find something.
@ Smartguy
I found at least 2 video sites that work on iPhone.
Yeah, I was going to say that I found a good video site, but I didn't want to publicize it for obvious reasons. I figured this site has to be family friendly, right?
Or not?

I know a few. Pics are more discrete while I'm sitting at work or in class.
Who cares what your classmates think? This is the town that invented Mardi Gras.
First complaint about Chrome:
Where are my RSS feeds? I can't live without my news!
@N8R
There are sticks in the mud no matter the place or time. However…it is mainly me being a polite southerner.
So far I like it, I don't see the vast improvement over Safari but it is nice. I like incognito and the fact that only 1 tab will crash as opposed to the whole is something every IE should incorporate.
@Shockwave562 I've really gotten use to Chrome's layout. It just makes more sense to me than Firefox's. Each tab being an independent process is just completely cool. Chrome will have extensions soon and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes up.
