Have you seen the blogs on this?

Written in the EULA for Google Chrome was that any and all things posted and done through the Chrome thing is property of Google. So if you upload a picture using Chrome as the browser, google owns it :)

They claimed this was a mistake after the uproar and removed it. But, I'm not so sure. I reckon Google just wanted to sneak that in, to control us!

I saw this yesterday. Looks okay... it has to be something really special to get me to change though.

Posting from it now ^^

Pretty schweet, looks nice and clean and is fast, too. The only problem I've got so far is that I like to auto-hide the taskbar, and when I run Chrome in maximized mode I can't access the taskbar without alt+tabbing or pressing the Windows button on my keyboard. That problem was quite fixable, but there is something worse that affects all users.

In the EULA  Google states this:
By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

That's the only thing that keeps me from using Chrome as my main browser  :-/

EDIT: Yay! Main browser here we go! :D - http://gizmodo.com/5045050/google-updating-chrome-eula-to-be-less-creepy

i had to use 17 minutes of a pc so i could send some work to a friend and check my email and feeds (which let me know that teh crome was out)

Niko, I support your use of Opera, since I too am now a user ! ::)

Opera is actually really good, my friends have even started using it .

Chrome is also good, but I think opera looks nicer .

i never thought opera was bad, it's pretty good, out of all browsers it has my favorite downloading client, it includes torrents.
but then I just started using firefox with some plugins, including speed-dial.

still, opera's speed dial is the fastest.


i also use FF with lots of plugins
but the speed dial i got is not nearly as fast as opera's. the dl client is the best, ever.

oh
and i've noticed some months ago that youtube streams faster in opera than in firefox. A LOT faster.
