Google Chrome First Impressions

19 sec read

chrome1Just a few days after Microsoft released IE8 Goggle retaliated by releasing their browser, Chrome. After installing it my first impressions are:

  • Extremely clean and streamlined UI
  • Nice source view and developer helpers
  • Nice download manager
  • Extremely fast page loading
  • Great JavaScript performance

What’s missing (in my opinion):

  • Grouped tab browsing
  • Web Slices
  • Accelerators

To conclude, I thing IE8 is a more feature complete browser according to my standards and although it’s beta has more rendering problems than chrome has at the moment, I’m sticking to IE as my default browser.

UPDATE: It doesn’t support Silverlight arghhh!!!
