Chrome

So I’m writing this post in Google Chrome and while it’s mostly an excuse to procrastinate from my very important project, there are a couple of things I can say are awesome right off the bat:
- It’s such a minimalist design. There are so many options for skinning and configuring Firefox I forgot how little interface a true web browser actually needs. Beautiful.
- It’s a very smart install. You download a tiny file that downloads the rest of it and imports all your settings autmatically. And then it’s installed into your application data! That means you can install Chrome on machines you don’t have administrative privileges on!
I’m not going to be switching anytime soon, Firefox has too many useful plugins ready to go for it(especially diigo, I couldn’t live without that). But Chrome is nice, and as soon as they have some kind of plugin emulation system I’ll probably make the move.
Note: As I was writing this Chrome had a crash with shockwave(trying to upload a picture with the wordpress tool). Which sucks because it shouldn’t have crashed but it’s awesome that it stopped it internally and didn’t bring down the whole application.
Be the first!
