My Google Chrome Review

if you use server-side refreshes instead of html refreshes on your pages, i dont think it would matter what browser someone is using.

yeah but if you use server side refreshes your referer will show
 
Well upon further use of this thing.. DEF not for Black hatters.

Sure if I'm gradually browsing I would prefer Chrome because it's quicker ( at least on my system ).

From a business ( black hat ) point of view though: Not safe for us at all.. I also am kind of curious about all of that data being collected. My review for just browsing and stability how ever is pretty damn good for a browser in beta.

no they wont. i said server refresh, not server redirect

use a double refresh method, but dont use meta refreshes, use php header refreshes

something like this:

<?php
header('Refresh: 0; url=http://www.mysite.com/page1.php');
?>

i am not sure how this will work with chrome, someone with chrome can test it and verify it and post back here

That's the same as a meta-refresh buddy, just php spitting it out.. :)

ah nm, i guess it's an old http header.. only kept around for backwards compatibility

hmm never seen that kind of redirect before, I tried this out and it behaves the same way as a meta-refresh in chrome, the redirect page will be the ref, but not the link page
 
I'm only waiting for them to start paying people to spread chrome via affiliates with hopefully a high payout from google... anyone think they will also do this like they used to do it for the firefox google toolbar?

As per using chrome.. ill pass on that one and not suggest it to anyone doing blackhat work with google (gmail, youtube, blogger, adwords, adsense, ect). I just couldn't live without my firefox and the plethora of addons I need to browse the web to do work. I'm a FF fan now and its gonna be hard for a new browser to change that :)
 
So Chrome allows for referer blanking through a php double meta refresher?
 
Better wait for a while. No point jumping onto it so fast. Most applications still can't support it.
 
my own chrome review thread got pwned by this. But yea, i'm not impressed by it .....Just another browser to me
 
Google is getting their feet wet in every water on Internet, stop fucking creating services and monopolies. Why the heck do they created a fucking browser if we have a lot of them? firefox, opera, safari, konqueror they all are great. Damm google wants to take advantage with this browser
 
Do you guys have a link where I can download this thing and give it a run?
 
My Review, although I don?t understand what?s up with all the haste since it?s still in BETA. This is a stage for review, opinion, and improvement and here?s mine:

It?s fast, sleek, and simple. Keep it that way!

Although, I had to force myself to use it because it is way too dynamic and sleek! Where are the eye-candy, and the roughness of control? I felt like my hand was slipping when I was scrolling sites in Google Chrome. Also, why isn?t it allowed to scroll with mouse-arrows, activated by pressing the scroller?

I don?t like how it saves passwords, where anybody can log into your account. But I am confident it will be worked on, and might have similarities to FireFox?s saving password feature and master password feature, which I hope.

It crashes way too much with multimedia, especially on YouTube O_O

?but the good thing is it only crashes the unresponsive tab, not the whole browser, which is an exclusive feature against other browsers.

I think it is very secure since the essential proportion of the whole browser is built and powered by webkit, which has went through evolution and development on it?s own so I doubt there will be many security flaws found any time soon.

The home-history phone-dialing-like feature is awesome, and very cool. You can quickly visit sites that you frequently visit by pressing the home button and being met with webshots of your favorite sites, which is an internal directory and it?s ranked on par with your actual favorite sites, at least by my experience :D

I don?t think this will be anything big soon, and will cover 5% of the market share, UNLESS it provides plug-in integration in the future, like FireFox does. As Wealthy said, I won?t be using this as a default or much unless it has some alternatives to some of my favorite plug-ins on FF.

If Google listens to the consumers, and acts effectively, it MIGHT steal the show. BTW ? Google cut $1 deal with FireFox, and hired two of their leading developers, FF staff must be angry.

Overall, for BETA, I give it 4 / 5 for its effective surprise and satisfactory. If it were the official non-BETA browser, I would give it a low 3 / 5 because it has some stuff it needs to convince me to switch from FireFox, and this is not the official quality I would expect. I think Google?s move to make it open-source was good to defend its integrity against paranoid internet users who think it?s solely a tool for Google to collect data, quite being paranoid.

We?ll see where it goes!

I saw a news report on TV about this last night. Their goal is to make MS and Firefox play catch-up, basically take over the browser market. The thing that bothers me is that it's getting the publicity that will actually make people switch from FF / IE over. No other browser that I know of has ever has gotten news reports. Pretty freaky.

i wonder how much money they burned to get TV news coverage
 
after using it for I bit I think it's pretty nice. I've read the "comic" about it and it is the most technologically advanced browser out there, with different processes per tab, and the other advanced stuff in it, the people are google are really smart.

The only thing missing right now is plugins, which will probably be added later, and I don't like how it doesn't clear referers on meta-refresh

I think it is kind of sad how microsoft is on version 7 or 8 of their browser, and google comes out with this thing, which is a BETA, and which totally blows IE away haha
