Poll: Have you downloaded Google Chrome?
5 points by dkokelley on Sept 3, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 10 comments
I noticed that at least 10 of the top stories (and certainly the first 6) on HN today were all about Google's new Chrome browser (http://google.com/chrome). I wanted to get an idea of how many HN users had actually downloaded it on the first couple of days after its release.

Additionally, use the comments to let us know if you plan on keeping the browser as your primary browser (at least for a while).

There is no version for Linux, so I haven't downloaded it.


s/Linux/Macintosh/

(Note: This is a statement of personal fact, not a recipe or a principle. ;)

I haven't had the time to try it in emulation yet.


dev.chromium.org mentions that you can build it from source for Linux. So you can try it out :)


Well, you can build it, but it doesn't actually work. In particular I don't think there are any UI bindings yet. But you can fix unit tests for Linux if you like ;-)


Downloaded. Nice. But I've got used to Firefox. So not going to switch until there's a plugins API


I played with it a bit but uninstalled it shortly there after. It's nice and very quick but it doesn't have nearly enough functionality or versitility yet. I'm sticking with FF for the time being.


I'll try it when they pry Linux from my cold dead hands. Or when they make a make a Linux version. I'm hoping for the latter.


I have downloaded and tried it on my wife's PC. I use a mac normally so I won't use it until it can do FF style add-ins.


Waiting for the linux port.


Another browser. Sorry, no. I'm comfortable where I am.
