    I'm having problems with font size, the option box to increased it doesnt really increase the size. only 'CTRL' and '+' really increases the size, but you need to do that for each new tab

  4. I wonder if Google subjects the TOS to the same as its other applications - namely, they compile a docea on you that never really goes away and tracks everything.

    Chrome loads fast but still prefer K-Meleon.

  7. It took me 15 seconds to make Chrome my new browser of choice. It's just faster... I hate bowing down to Bill Gates bloatware waiting for things, just hate it... I've said it before regarding Google documents, which I use a lot, that Google needs to have it's own browser and now they do, one small step for Google one giant leap for mankind.....

    The only problem is that I'm not so sure that I'm completely comfortable with their terms of service, especially #2 on this list:

    Its an open source project, so I'd imagine that eventually someone will fork a version that won't be governed by their EULA... but until then, I'm not quite sure how I feel about using a browser that technically gives Google the right to take screenshots of private emails or banking statements that I just happen to view online (although I'm sure thats not what they plan on doing with it).
