I would've appreciated slightly more 'Macish' buttons, which is only really aimed the the back/forward buttons and the close buttons on the tabs, which turn a rather unsightly red when hovered, but I'm sure that, in time, someone will fix that, if Google doesn't. ]]>Dec 8th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/Dec 8th 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/Dec 8th 2009 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/that totally makes sense

i've been using safari for like a month now just to see what it's like (normally a firefox user) and there are a few of things that are pushing me back to fox:
- keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+w or ctrl+tab stop working erratically (bug, other 2 are missing features)
- when i move my cursor on top of a href, i don't get notified where the link leads
- the address bar's autocomplete is an infant compared to firefox']]>Dec 8th 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/
If you want to see where a link leads, select "Show Status Bar" from the View menu. You'll get a bar at the bottom that shows URLs as you hover over links.]]>Dec 8th 2009 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/I've always wondered what the hell that was about as well.. I used to use Safari on a daily basis, but random YouTube videos started doing my nut in - especially the HD ones. Firefox handles it like a trooper, and I haven't turned back since - which is a shame, since I love the history/bookmarks/top sites grid thing on Safari.....]]>Dec 8th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/google-chrome-hits-beta-for-mac-and-linux-extensions-available/Correction: extensions are "on the way".

I've had a pre-release running on my netbook on Ubuntu for a while. It runs very smoothly.

I wonder if we'll ever see a good ad blocking extension for Chrome. After all, this is Google we're talking about...they'd be taking a huge cut into their own advertising.

Chrome has had an Ad Blocker since version 3 came out more than 6 months ago:

It actually works much better than the ad-blockplus extension in Firefox.
