Re: Chrome
This should go in Tech News. 
Yeah, been using it since alpha (chromium). The latest developer preview is very usable, seems stable, and pretty good actually.

Re: Chrome
Unfinished, but interesting. Yes, I downloaded it and tried it. Loved how it imported my bookmarks exactly as they are in Safari.
If you've discovered how to open a folder of bookmarks all in tabs at the same time, please tell me.

Re: Chrome
It is certainly snappier than FireFox.

Does it offer the opportunity to NOT import bookmarks?
It just pisses me right off when I install a new browser and it automatically imports my bookmarks. I have different bookmark sets for different browsers.

Uh... I really don't remember for sure, but I think it was automatic. But that's something I liked. Still, this is not the definitive version, so that could change.

I just checked the book out from the library - it's pretty good. This is the website. Uki, I'm not sure if you're trying to bookmark sets of tabs in Firefox or Chrome but I'm sure the process is similar for both.

CHROME ON THE MAC CAN NOT DO WHAT SAFARI DOES EXACTLY THE SAME WAY SAFARI DOES IT
Pay attention to my posts, read carefully. Please.
I know how to do what I want and I want to do it in Safari. Chrome for Mac IS NOT YET COMPLETE. Maybe in the future it will be "all that", but it isn't yet.
And I clicked that link, that CAN NOT be made in Google Chrome 4.0.223.11
And that's not what Safari does right now. I don't need to click a folder of bookmarks and choose "open in tabs". Safari does it automagically when it starts.
For the time being and as far into the future as my super powers allow me to see, I will keep using Safari as my main browser, even if I have 3 other browsers installed on my Mac.
Still, thanks everybody who tried to "help me"

Agreed. It does not tab between all text and check boxes on a page (mostly login pages) properly, for one.

Re: Chrome
I'm sticking to Safari on my mac for now. I use it frequently on the PC though.
