At this point is Chrome *supposed* to have any awareness beyond early adopter-types and the usual crash test dummies? Would that even be a good idea? - Chris Baskind
nah, chrome is totally an early adopter thing. Firefox is practically still only an early adopter and tech thing. - Rob Diana
proud crash test *dummy* (case in point, I have Vista - it's note even out of alpha yet, right?) - acedanger
I wouldn't even go so far as to say that the tech echo chamber is all that excited. - Jim McCusker
I'm not even excited about it and I'm a web designer / developer - Jason Kaneshiro
they are talking about it some on CNBC ... though they are optimistic about most things that could push stocks higher - Adam Ostrow
It's too early in the process to make pronouncements like that, considering Google hasn't really announced or released it yet. - Louis Gray
@ Bwana.....and the rest of the world is trying to figure out how to change their myspace profiles :) - Iain Baker
Early adopters target, for a browser, is a damn good thing. Bug hunting and squashing is far more simpler than, say, a IE thing. - Claudio Cicali
Heard some coworkers talking about it that only keep up with mainstream tech news so it's making some headway - David Knight
david - don't you realize that oil price is down because of chrome launch - Allen Stern
it doesn't exist outside of the chamber, some sad number people 25%? Still think IE6 is the bees knees. - Steve Spalding
anything especially great about it? A browser seems like such commodity software at this point. At least firefox has greasemonkey. Speaking of which, anyone know if any of the good FF greasemonkey scripts have been updated for the beta? - Thomas Hawk
i love the idea of protected memory spaces for each tab. bad javascript and flash take my entire browser down way too often. looking forward to trying a Mac version. - Anthony Citrano
