Installed Chrome and imported settings from Firefox during set up. No site loads up :(

Can't even load the default page. Sad tabs ahoy!

Google should seriously have another look at that map of Europe on page 13 of their comic book...

I got the downloader, but it just times out, I see it accessing my proxy in procexp.exe, but maybe there is something wrong on my end. I'll have to try it at home tonight.
DanGarionSep 2nd 2008 4:01PM
It's unfortunate that it uses the Windows Internet Option settings, it should have it's own network settings. Oh also the proxy settings aren't working, so it's pointless for there to be network settings at this time anyway.

I'm unimpressed. Chrome is very slow and takes up quite a bit of memory compared to other browsers. The separate process per tab idea is excellent, and I hope that other browsers (Opera, Firefox) integrate that. I hope that Chrome will get faster with new versions, but this release feels alot more like a public alpha than a beta.
FredMcElkSep 2nd 2008 4:22PM
My comments on the speed and memory are in relation to Opera 9.52 stable on Windows XP. Chrome is around 1-2 seconds slower to render uncached web pages, and uses up around twice the memory with the same amount of tabs open.
Javascript execution, though, seems much faster.

After a couple of false starts it downloaded fine for me. I'm using it to view this page right now. It's different, but still just a browser as far as I can tell(granted it's only been a few minutes). I miss my FireFox extensions already. Using bookmarklets is a nightmare. I had to edit the bookmark, highlight and copy and paste the javascript from it into the other tab. Because I can't seem to get to my bookmarks, except from a new tab.
It does look good and seems faster.

Wow it's only using 10K of memory over here. That's loooooow!
