At heart, I am a technology geek (and a reef aquariums geek). So, I just had to try the new Google browser, Chrome.
I have had it installed for about 24 hours on both my work laptop and my home PC. And, though that certainly is not enough time to put it through its paces fully, I have to give it 2 thumbs up and a "so what..."
Others are not so complementary.
Here is what I can tell you so far. I like the default homepage. It organizes the recent pages very nicely and shows the recent bookmarks.
It imports all of my data from Firefox very well. Nothing was lost.
It does seem to handle Javascript much better. I do not see the slowdowns like I use to on Firefox when I had a lot of tabs open.
It works with every page I use...so far. And I have tested it with Google Adwords, LoopFuse, Joomla-based sites, Forums, Blogs, Flash intros, etc.
And now for the "so what". So far, nothing in this browser has presented anything to me that makes me say, "this is my browser". I am coming to realize that, at least for today, a browser is just like a window. Yeah, some are double-paned, some have decorative components, some insulate better than others.
But, at the end of the day, a window is something you look through, not something you look at. And this window is just like the rest.
Oooh, you know what? I just made that up but I really like it. I think I officially deem that statement Copyright ME. :) Feel free to use it, but give me credit if you do. LOL
