Yeah, I am using it now. It is nice, slim design, barely any buttons.
Everything is well designed, minus the fact that there is no spell checker

.

The address bar completion is nice however.

I'm waiting on a release for Mac, but the results look interesting so far.

I'm using it now. It's groovy! $\:D/$ I got on the computer this morning and saw that Google had released a web browser so, obviously, I had to download it. And it does have a spell checker, unless the squiggly red lines under my misspelled words are just coincidences.

It does now, but it wasn't working for me when I first downloaded it

.

It doesn't have individual spelling checks though, for input sections like the "subject" title in the posting window.

. I'm using it now.
It's interesting, and the element inspector (like firebug for firefox) is intriguing.

$\:D/$ (thanks, uz, for forcing me to get it.)

It's.. ok. There are enough things about it that bug me about it, though, so I'm wouldn't use it as my primary browser.. I guess it is beta after all, although Google's betas are usually pretty good.

I checked it out, and viewed some screenshots here, but I think I'll stick to my browser, Flock. But it doesn't look too bad. I have to many things personalized and book marks and such on Flock, it would take too long to switch.

I used to use Flock, but having only 512 MB of RAM means all my feature-ful browsers are slooooow.

I downloaded it, and tested it out for a while, but it's now removed. It's not the greatest. I didn't noticed any spell-checker, it didn't have many options, strange layout, and overall wasn't for me.

It has a spell checker. Unless the red squigilly line underneath the words mean something else. I guess I spelled squigilly right because there is a red line under it

I'm using it! $\:D/$
So far I like it better than all other browsers....except that when my wireless network crashes it just keeps trying to load and won't go anywhere...

I tried it. Didn't like it much. It's rather difficult to customize, and...well, it's hard to beat Firefox.

WARNING: Humor and irony alert.

I haven't tried Chrome yet. The sysop here wants everyone to use only FF. But I know he' stuck in the past because he's still using FF 2.5 himself.

V-lady, on the FF addons website https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... rt=updated a Chrome theme has been posted. If you liked the look of Chrome, then give this a try. It's called "Chromifox."

FF is the short name for Firefox. Firefox's latest version is 3.0.1. Version 2.5 is just an older version with a more classical look. That's all.

You can download FF 3.0.1 at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/.

Warning: J-man has the occasion to post in a humorous inflection.

J-man knows exactly what FF is, as well as the ancient FF 2.5

.

it r called jokems.

I think my ancient ancestors, the Aztecs used FF 2.5. I read about it somewhere on a stone tablet.

J-man · Post by **J-man** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 1:24 pm

..No actually I wasn't joking.

I have never heard of a firefox 2.5.
