Started Chroming

Google has launched an OpenSource web browser Chrome.  At Google they say that “Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.”

Before getting into my Chroming experience, here’s a sneak preview about Chrome from Google.

My 1st Chroming experience

+

     Fast fast fast …. the fast just got faster.
     Just the basic required buttons. 
     Eats pop-up windows beautifully.
     Real chrome effect in the UI.
     Very simple, neat, useful Task manager. 
     Search & Address bar clubbed together. Awesome.
     Identifying a SSL website is real neat. Neatly displays the certificate details.
     Zero Encoding issues and font problems.

     Can’t have additional toolbars. Does’nt even support Google toolbar.
     Doesn’t ask for the installation location.
     When you close multiple tabs, it just closes without confirmation. Ooops .. i lost all for a moment !!

 

No wonder it captured 1% market share in just 9 hours.  Hmnnn .. can’t give a standing ovation but still the people @ Google deserve a good pat for paving way to a new & better web surfing and also for making it Open Source.
