Has anyone tried the new browser? I'm diggin it.

My favorite feature is 'incognito mode'. Great way to destroy your tracks :)



Incognito mode
Click the control icon in the upper right corner of the browser and you’ll get the option to open a new tab, a new window, or a new incognito window. Incognito window will fire up without appearing in browser or search history, and it won’t leave cookies or any other traces of your activity, except files you’ve downloaded or bookmarks. Yes, Safari has it, too, but it’s a nice jab at Firefox which skipped some similar privacy features in version 3.0.

Wow, looks real good....

Might have to look into that...

I really don't like the fact that Google tracks and logs everything you do while using the browser. It got banned in Europe for that stuff. Id rather keep to myself with my humble little Firefox.

Dragging tabs out and back in again

You can drag a tab out of Chrome into a separate window, and you can drag a separate window back into tab bar, where it’ll be happily received by Chrome.

I still use firefox though, even though i honestly like chrome alot more. I've heard they found security flaws in chrome already.

I compiled all of the 'killer' features from chrome and have the extensions for FF, if you wanted to use them.

I also, have a nice little list of some really good extensions to, in case you are new to the FF scene. The ones noted out are the ones from chrome.

I also read that Google will not include any ad blocking features and will not allow any future addons to block ads.

Reason being, they are the largest ad company on the internet. They don't want their ads getting shut off.

[Adam]

very nice list dude, thanks

[McCauleyWB]

Great list of extensions. If that's the case regarding ads, I will not be a Chrome user. That's a shame.

I saw this a few days ago and was going to try it out, decided not to. I figure I give it a while to work out bugs/security issues, I like my firefox...
