Baumblog EST 1968 - A blog for the Baumbachs who originated in Syracuse, NY

Google today has released a beta of their own web browser based on the Webkit Rendering engine (The same one used by Apple's Safari). If you like a minimalistic and fast browser, this is it. Here's a screenshot from the website:

Feel free to post on any things you find that you like or dislike. I've already found a few, but remember it's in beta. One dislike so far:

Dislikes:

1.) Where the heck are my supposed imported bookmarks
2.) No support for XML/RSS. Lame.

Likes:

1.) Ridiculously fast. This even slaughters Safari.
2.) No status bar....or is there?! Hover over a link to see the behavior.
3.) Each tab is it's own process...no more rogue web apps taking down my browser. (Haven't had the experience with this yet, but if this doesn't appear to function, it will be moved to the dislikes :) )

Dislike: no apparent way to import my Google Toolbar bookmarks. Seriously, Google, WTF?

Like: way, way fast.

Dammit, Baumblog doesn't seem to work with it. Just tried posting a link in the comment, like this one and it failed. Trying it again, just for kicks.

Never mind--apparently I managed to make a comment that broke the ability to edit said comment. Fixed the link, though.

that's funny--I added a comment, and the comment posted BELOW the comment box.

So who's still using it? Geoff dropped out last night, and I dropped it this morning. I had a crash, which moved my #3 like to the dislike section, as I predicted and my roommate set his default browser to be Chrome, which then ended up breaking Lotus Notes, which doesn't take much but is a deal breaker.

Also, as a side note, Chrome runs slow as ever on Windows Vista. But I'll blame Vista for now.

I'm still using it. It's sweet, other than the fact that it uses more memory that XP. :)
