Yahoo's search suggestions work a charm, and led me down alleys and pathways on the net that I've never even thought of. As a non-kiddie-porn surfer or axe murderer or serial killer or terrorist or somebody who don't like their URL history generally made public, I highly recommend it.

You can, of course, disable the feature.

Re: Google Chrome

Fact: 1 in 3 Vista users revert back to XP. Both my wife and I have the same issues with the Vista version of IE. It incorporates problems and needs to shut down thereby restarting me on my famous home page at a loss for what happened. What does this have to do with Google Chrome you ask? The answer "multiprocess architecture." On Chrome if something happens to cause a crash in one tab it only shuts down that tab. This may not bother Firefox or Safari users at all. Welcome to the age of cloud computing. This shifts importance to the "rendering engine." Speed may be Chrome's most significant advance articulating JavaScript 10X faster than those mentioned and 56X faster than IE 7. Did I mention "incognito mode" offers private surfing by a simple tweaking. The only catch is being offered in Windows only. Seems Linux and Mac have something to be jealous over after all. More like an attack on Microsoft. Is the browser becoming the equivalent to an OS? The answer is yes. I forgot to mention you can drag the tab to open a new window completely marking the advent of the cloud. The non-intrusive combo address bar / search engine is the self titled "omnibox" by Google which is the Incredible Hulk of "I'm Feeling Lucky." Mind you this did not merit eliminating the option of importing the sometimes easily clogged "bookmark bar." In closing talk of the Google browser have been like Yeti and UFO sightings for years. Now that it exists it should generate trust as proof the Google books are not being cooked. Remember the browser evolution that left Netscape behind around 1998. Chrome has the power to do the same to IE. Sit back and watch.

If you are not going to pass, then why are you against it??

I think I get the point, but remember INCOGNITO MODE is one click away inside the tools menu. Problem solved.

Cool Re: Google Chrome

I tried Chrome from Google on my work PC (XP SP3). It does work fine
and look nice. Though I find it limited at the moment to what I can already
do with FF 3.03 (current).

As form Chrome tracking you, I think there is a switch under the hood. You
just have to look for it in the preferences pane.

Re: Google Chrome

once again, i want the spyinc components to not even be in the distributable version... so you can download google with spying components, and without them... not disabled, without, period. And dont take me wrong here, i love google dearly, but seriously i can only afford giving them so much information about myself, giving them my porn library, is just a bit over the crest.... (jk about pron library, but you get my point)
