I finally downloaded Google Chrome and installed it. Before I say anything, here is the a small video you should watch.
It looks like they have done a great job. It definitely beats IE including the new versions. But not so sure about Firefox. Well, Google chrome is in beta stage. So i think it’s kind early to talk about competition with other browsers. Although, most of the Google products are in beta stage and they have already the leading position in the market.
Go ahead and take a look at google chrome website. You should also take a look at this release post at google blog. The post has useful information about this new browser.
For now, I won’t switch to Google Chrome. My reasons are;
- I have gotten used to having menus on the top of my screen.
- You can’t drag. This feature is a time saver in IE. When you think about it, it saves 2 years of my life.
- I’ll be wating for future releases to see how they improve.
I like Google Chrome in a way how I like Winamp. When you think about it, Winamp is a lot faster than Windows Media Player. You can run it with many applications on. You can do the same thing with Google Chrome. It doesn’t take much of CPU.
Also the new tab feature is brilliant. Unlike others, one tab doesn’t have the ability to crash your browser.
For now, Google Chrome is worth a try besides it’s in its beta stages. So I’m sure they are going to make it more powerful to compete with Firefox and Internet Explorer.
