Chrome it
Posted on 4 September 2008
Look who has just released the talk of the IT town
Like all other google products, chrome is clean, neat and very easy to pick up. Designed to cater for the intensive usage of today’s internet browser, chrome is much stable and faster than other browsers. Yes, we can say goodbye to crashing of the web browser while opening 7 windows/tabs at the same time. Even though it is another PC based browser, it definately does give IE a run for its money.
My favourite part of Chrome is the main page which shows the pages which you most frequently visited, tabs that are recently closed and the bookmarks that were bookedmark recently. No more finding your history for the tab accidentally closed or digging your massive bookmarks to find the pretty website which you bookmarked just late last night.
Other perks of chrome would be the precised autocomplete in the main toolbar, the fast load time of the new tabs and websites, the left click inspect element which allows me to drill down to the html scripts. After loading my web based mailbox, it did not crash after refreshing.
However, while typing this entry, i realized that I cannot undo an action and i can no longer resize my pictures by dragging the pictures. Some of the pages which i tried to open on chrome didn’t load fully. Chrome also does not have the spell checks and when i changed my proxy server, it asked for my password serveral times.
The worst news of all: it is only available for window users currently
However, despite all its flaws, let us be gracious to the beta version, I am sure they will fix these bugs when the actual browser is launched.
To find out more, take a look at the comic which explains the concept behind google chrome.
Last but not least, go try the new google chrome! I am sure you will be a convert.
