Chrome
September 8, 2008
I have already downloaded and installed the new web browser in my computer. For the past three days of browsing with Chrome, I thought it surpassed Firefox (I’ve tried Safari for a time but did not continue using it – it’s obvious, I’m a Windows user, but IE is a goner for me) based on my browsing needs. In fact, this blog loads very fast (read: insignificant amount of lag time, reads links fast as I have so many of them here) in Chrome. I also did not have any problems migrating from Firefox since it was all done automatically with Chrome’s import facility.
Came in clean and offered a faster and secure browsing, Chrome might just be revolutionizing net experience. Actually, the revolution already began. It will definitely have bugs since it is in its developmental phase but definitely a refreshing alternative browser. I’m also inclined to think that Google is gearing up for a big surprise. I know there is. An OS perhaps? Nevertheless, Microsoft’s IE has finally met a stronger competitor.
For those who wants to learn more of the pecularities of the new browser and the related developments, you may need to check The Chromium Blog.
have you tried typing .% on chrome’s address bar? When you installed did you read the EULA, that google will track your browsing activites? How’s the privacy and security so far?
I asked since these are some of the things I’ve read about chrome? Chrome uses webkit, that safari has been using for sometime.
@a louie: yep read the Eula. That was a major major issue, right? That that section of the Eula is an indication of a possible violatiom of privacy and intellectual property rights? They changed that section already and attributes the copyright to the end-user as to content. I also thought that was a foul on the part of Google. Who would agree to the original clause?
%? I did not experience a crash. None so far. In fact, I accidetally copied an erroneous link location containing special chars including that % to the chrome’s address bar earlier this afternoon and clicked to open. The tab just froze and all I got was a blank page. All other tabs and the browser itself were still in good condition. I think Google already fixed that url handler issue.
I haven’t tried it yet, was actually afraid, it’s like google is synonymous to spider or webcrawler…… want’s to be omnipotent huh lmao….they just want to know everything….. scary
hmnnn…Google world?! hehe actually I am still in the trying out phase. My official browser is is still Firefox 3.0.
talaga.. i gotta try this one.. but im happy with firefox pa naman
uy dabo! welcome back here. hehe yeah, you try chrome but precautions lang. read the EULA. hehe
