I try about anything that comes out, so thats why I posted it.  Frankly I do not care about google one way or another but I use firefox, Opera, Exploder and figured I should give it a shot.

I can say that its a low budget browser overall (meaning low overhead computer power wise).  The only thing I can not really stand about it is that on the main address bar where you type the address in; it doesn't appear there is a way to click a down arrow button for instance and look at the recent history of addresses.  I use that most often on the other browsers because I am a person that usually goes to 10-12 sites pretty often.

Overall I hope it doesn't take to much market share from Firefox and mostly from Exploder.  Its not that I do not like Microsoft but what I do like is presure coming from the market that pushes companies to work harder to give us a better product.  So yea, I do think Google entering the market is good; I just hope they don't hurt the smaller guys so badly it knocks them out of the market.

i shouldve posted the link about what i read. it was something along the lines about them only coming out with a good search engine, but most of their other products not being (as) popular, unless they just up and purchased another company.

example: google video, then purchased youtube.

can something open source like firefox be purchased?

Yes, a good example is MYSQL was recently purchased.  Normally old versions keep the same licensing agreements but new versions usually have new stuff written into them.

It seems like this browser was written from the ground up, they have issues already with it though.  I suggest to not "save as" on any websute if you use this browswer there is a security hole.. lol

I haven't used it much, I mostly use Opera and Firefox.. with a little IE exploder thrown in for good measure.

I don't dislike Google, or Microsoft for that matter.  I'm sure another company will come along and knock them down.  Oh and I think Firefox has a full release coming at the end of the year so thats kinda of exciting as well.  Open source stuff I totally love.
