Chrome – the Debate

So after much thinking and discussion with various friends, family and colleagues heres what people seem to like and dislike about Googles browser CHROME.

Negatives:-
  • No-Addons
  • Support structure and EULA = dodgy*
  • No drop-down history
  • No central mouse control (scroll) feature
  • No built in RSS support
  • Can’t change theme colour
  • Hard to find history, and more so bookmarks
Positives:-
  • Very Very fast
  • Overall sleek look and design (inc. logo)
  • Built in (geeky) task manager
  • Ability to move tabs to order
  • Ability to pull out tabs to new window
  • Incognito mode
  • “real” Dangerous Page (inc dead SSL) warnings
  • TLD darker font
  • Geek Stuff: source, js debug, js console
  • In page search
  • Search google from addressbar
  • No waste of vertical space
Overall CHROME is an amazing browser, at least as far as i am concerned. And many others it seems. There are a few draw backs, but to be honest i do not give a damn about them, CHROME is a BETA its 0.2.something and it was realease 3 months before it should have been! I love CHROME infact i would go further and say it will become (quite soon) the primary internet browser…. probably for most of the world once it gets addons….though i question the need for these.
*speaking about the original “your content is ours if its written in our browser” thing.
