Yeah, they ripped a bunch of code from Safari, Firefox, and WebKit.


Best way to explain your new product:

Mine reports as Chrome...
It runs pretty well. I'll give it a spin for a bit and see how she handles.

All better:

Google admits, basically, to simply reusing another EULA and that the whole "we own whatever you put in" thing was a mistake and was never meant to be.

No real surprise here:

Google drops Firefox as the default for its Google Pack and replaces it with Chrome.

Google has released a stable version of Chrome 3.0. Grab it if you want it, try it if you haven’t.

At Google Chrome's first birthday just two weeks ago, we looked forward to an action-packed year for the browser and the web. Thanks to a full year of great feedback from our users, we're kicking off our second year of Google Chrome with a brand new stable release. This release comes hot on the heels of 51 developer, 21 beta and 15 stable updates and 3,505 bugfixes in the past year.

It actually seems to run significantly faster on Linux than any other OS I've tested it on.
Also I use it pretty much exclusively now... So slick and fast.
