Today I download Chrome browser. Not sure where to start but lets do step by step
Installation: Fast, took me around 2 minute (maybe less) on 512kbps line to install this browser. +1 point to chrome
First Run of browser: Import settings from IE(without asking me) +1(for importing) -1 (for without asking me)
Do not import settings from Firefox -1
(Seems another MS hater only, when i have both browser installed in my PC, it should ask me what to do, rather than just try to replace IE …)
First website: Nothing flashy about it, open as similar to opening a site in Firefox or IE.
Interface: Good blue colour on tabs, No status bar, no Title bar. You ever cannot find where “Chrome” is written in first shot. (Only found that in windows Task bar button). No points as Blue is rather boring somewhat.
Other things:
1) Remember Password seems stolen feature from Firefox, it appears in similar fashion as in firefox.
2) Looks like you are using IE on interface without Titlebar, (just buttons difference they are as in Firefox).
3) got one small glitch when open a page that use Background colour and image both, it doesn’t show color below the End of HTML, but when refreshed it shows correctly. (sorry miss the screenshot to show). This surely tells there exists some rendering errors in browser.
4) annoying “loading popup status bar”, the small information status bar that comes on left of screen is bit annoying at it attract me to look at it.
In all, I found no good reason to switch to this browser. Just to save better space on screen we can always use Full screen on Firefox and IE. MAybe there rendering is fast. But when i use it on my developed website with Ajax, it works similar, It open gmail at similar speed. I haven’t use it more than 30 minute now. But will use it in future, at least for my website testings.
Good luck.
