Re: Google Introduces Browser Called Chrome

I downloaded Chrome on Tuesday when it was released, and I was very pleased.

Chrome seems to be much speedier than Firefox 3. It also appears to be much less prone to crashing. When an individual tab crashes, the whole browser does not crash. This is great, and makes the browser as a whole much more stable.

I like how when it saves passwords, it will not show the passwords on demand (like firefox). However, it does not recognize password fields on all sites, and does not ask to save the password (like chiefdelphi.com)

The start page that comes default with Chrome is excellent! It does a great job of predicting the websites that you want, and placing them in the thumbnail view. It also shows your commonly used bookmarks and allows you to search your history directly from the page.

The ability to search from within the address bar is well-done. You can type "a" <tab> and then type to search amazon, or "w" for wikipedia. It also briefly searches your history.

I have not noticed any major issues, and I will probably use it for the majority of my web browsing from now on. The only thing that is keeping me from using Chrome full time is the fact that several of my firefox add-ons do not work with it.
