How do you bookmark pages with it?
Click the star beside the address bar, or "Ctrl" + "D"

My question, is how do you view your bookmarks?

never mind
I really need a new signature.

I'm not used to the lack of clutter, nor the lack of a tool bar. It's a little too empty for me...not having all my options right there at the top is annoying. And it doesn't have many customization options, as was said before. Eh...I think I'll pass for now. *hugs firefox*

I hate the position of the tabs. :| It's an okay browser, and I'll probably make it my second for when I need a second browser window open, but I'll be sticking with Firefox. I love my add-ons and that tab bar in Chrome is just... ugh. I have things at the top of my screen and that interferes with them. :(

Its not bad so far. Very simple. I wish the menus were laid out better. For a Beta, I cannot complain.

True to that, Jake. Speaking of Webkit, I'm about to start my 30 day OSX86-only test as soon as I can make my other two graphics cards work :D

Oh, and on Chrome? here's a list of some "about" pages, from chrome.dll:
about:cache
about:dns
about:histograms
about:objects
about:memory
about:plugins
about:stats "Shhh! This page is secret!"
about:version

Chrome is simple and has some interesting features such as incognito mode (haven't tried it yet). It also doesn't slow down my slow computer like IE7 does. Pretty slick and smooth graphics.

Still, it's less customizable (less options it seems) than Firefox... I think I'll stick to Firefox, and perhaps use it as a secondary browser.

Didn't really like how the self-installer installed itself, no customization such as the installation location.

Firefox's addons just had things that the browser ought to have had in the first place; and they drain memory and CPU time to do it. See: Opera for a good example of a web browser that has lots of features and efficient resource usage. Opera and Chrome actually make good bedfellows; Firefox is just obsolete and depreciated now.

I'm sure once it's out of beta, Chrome will have more features AND I'm hoping on plugins/extensions akin to Firefox and Opera's. (Though probably more like Opera's in the sense of actual usefulness...) I kind of like how it is in the Beta in the sense that it's a great secondary browser. Very basic, renders well, and it's speedy. I just hate those tabs aaaaugh. :(

:( While I prefer almost everything about Opera (save maybe the severe lack of a very compact skin), Firefox's Livejournal extension alone was enough to bring me back to it once it started working again for me.

I skimmed the Terms but I must have missed that. Just read it from your LJ but man, anyone wanna confirm that that's true? o_O That's ridiculous.
