I would've been cool with this if they went from this new logo to the old one. But imo, they are indeed stepping backwards.

I mean look at the old one. Name? CHROME. This new logo? FLAT, the old one? 3D sphere with metallic plates with a material that makes it look like it is CHROME.

Chrome = coat metal with chromium: to electroplate a metal with chromium in order to make it [shiny] and [protect it against corrosion ]

I'm just saying that the old one explains a lot of what the browser is. Super protective, shiny and polished. And overall awesome. I don't know what this new logo is saying um….welcome back to 2005?

I'll never stop using it though…I use Firefox too heh.

@Rusky: I see what you mean, the blue gradient in the center does stand out a bit much.

I guess they want to make their logo as simple as their browser. I usually love simplicity, just still don't like the logo. :/

What problems? Firefox had so many issues that I still get, and that's why I still use Chrome.

The only issue I have with Chrome is that every tab seems to use a HUGE percent of my lil single-core cpu.

It's like running a game or something. But it runs so much better than FireFox.

I don't have any problems with Chrome either.

Since I've been using Chrome (late 2009 or early 2010, I think), it's only crashed two or three times, if that much, and I've had no other problems with it other than accidentally closing at least once a day.

Not that accidentally closing it matters because it starts so much faster than Firefox…

It's awesome.

I don't like the fact that my friends say "I don't like Chrome because it looks weird" , Chrome looks like something I've needed for over a decade!

Chrome actually blends in very well on Aero, IMO, and it doesn't really matter much anyway, especially considering the way the interface works.
