Chrome - The Google Browser

Sep 02, 2008 23:04
LINK Mozilla won't be happy, they have a good working relationship with Google, or so it seems. At any rate, if anyone could turn out a functional browser, it's Google, but I don't think they'll be able to swing the user-customization support to compete with Firefox and Opera, even with it being open source.

Just in time, I can't find a browser that works properly, Opera is ok, I find Firefox to be very annoying just by design and IE7/8 are both garbage. I like IE though, if only the fucking thing worked. I'm sick of losing my pages. We've reached an age where websites are bloated with so much code that browsers can't keep up. I remember when everything worked perfectly, rock solid. Now every dipshit worships the newest feature that invariably breaks something that used to function properly. This site is a perfect example. Ok it had a few bugs, but now it has a LOT of bugs that are far more irritating. The browsers are meaningless, it's the websites that need to tone it down. The problem is that there's too much politics. Too many software companies trying to get their dick in the door. Now we have all these compatibility problems. That being said, I like Google and hope they can do better than the others. I think if they keep it simple and fast like their website, I'll have my new browser.

It's pretty good. I was actually surprised how good it was. I might actually consider using it after they add all of the features. The best part is having tabs be separate processes. They copied a lot of things from Opera which is good. It isn't very light, but I'm comparing it with Opera. It uses up more memory and disk space. And they still need to add a lot to it. A fair amount of firefox users with switch to this once it's fully released, not many others though. I'm really liking it though. I would rather use it than firefox or IE.

I agree with Agent Ghost that sites these days are much too bloated. CSS is a nightmare and more and more people are building their sites in Flash and they are as user-unfriendly as possible (not to mention little Java applets everywhere). All style, no substance. That's why I built my site to be minimalist. Looks good without any bloat, and looks the exact same on every browser. A nice benefit of such a site is that it is quicker as well.

I'm using Chrome right now, and I must say...$0$0$0$01) It's fast$0$02) It's simple and clean$0$03) No mouse gestures annoys!$0$0$0$0$0For simply surfing, it's great! For more robust usage, I may need to go with Firefox because of the add-ons. I really like it, though, and with mouse gestures it would be nearly perfect.$0

Is it Chrome or Kikizo? I can't tell anymore, seeing as how Kikizo is in a constant state of disarray. I sure wish they would re-center my page!
