02 Sep 08 Chrome First Impressions
As a Firefox lover, i have to admit, Google Chrome is looking pretty slick and i could well be moving from Firefox to Chrome.
There’s a few things i like right away;
- No crap at the top of the window/page – just the bare minimum, increasing vertical page real estate.
- You can search google from within the url address bar – very handy
- ‘Incognito mode’ which basically allows you to browse under cover, leaving no traces of what sites you visit – very handy if multiple users are on your PC.
- on start up, it shows your most visited pages in a thumbnail fashion – very handy
- on start up, it displays a bookmarks toolbar which is a great use of space.
So overall, Chrome looks really impressive yet simple – a typical Google product. What do you guys think?!
