Reviewing Google Chrome
The new web browser from Google, Chrome, is quite an interesting and well-designed browser, I had a smooth experience using its Beta version that has been released yesterday. Chrome is available for download from the homepage of Google, the current version is for Windows only, to be followed by versions for Mac and Linux later on.
The design is really nice, I like the layout and buttons of Chrome. It’s a good idea to sort tabs at the upmost part of the browser and by that using a dead area, unlike other browsers, tabs usually come under the address bar. If you open a new tab you get an interesting page where you can access your bookmarks along with mini screenshots of websites that you’ve visited the most, it gives you a lot of flexibility to browse more.
Being a Google product, Chrome is search friendly, the address bar functions as a search bar that performs queries through Google, in addition, you can search through your history in case you wanted an information or a page you are sure you’ve visited recently.
When I visited Yahoo, I got an advice that I should upgrade my browser to Firefox 3, seems like websites deal with Chrome as if it was Firefox.
Can’t wait till the Mac version is release!

It should deal with it as it was Safari, since it uses webkit.
I totally love it

It still needs much much time to compete with FF. Any advanced user of FF cannot replace it with chrome since the latter doesn’t support RSS. Chrome also has too fiew options that you can scarcely customise it to your liking. It doesn’t have a single plug-in yet, i.e., much less functionality and freedom. I have always loved Google’s products. But it’ll take Chrome too long to mature and compete. BTW, interestingly, this new browser did not depend on any ready codes from existing browsers, rather, it was built from scratch, something I really admire.
