First look at Google Chrome

My friends yet didn't stop astonishing at the new add-ons from Mozilla and when I was thinking that it takes no time for Mozilla to make a complete browser, I heard that Chrome is released. First thought, do we really need another browser doing the same work and same features?

Soon I understood that it is a very wrong thought... why would Google do a routine again? Absolutely fantastic concept. Each tab a new process and each plug-in a new process. You can kill what ever is not responding. Perfect, that very idea sounds great. And where do you get the task manager, you get it from the browser it self. A task manager for the browser. Great.

Small things that can change a lot, one of them is the private data. What if I dont want only a few sites to be cleared from history, but keep other sites. Perfect solution again. An incognito window. You can open it from any link in a normal window. So you have the browsing go on and incognito 'on demand' ;)

It is still in beta and you can notice that you have the option to report bug or broken site as and when you see some.

When all browsers show 'Open in new window' as the first option, chrome changed the order to put the mostly used option at the top - 'Open in new tab'. I see more common sense and user friendlyness added.

  

You can notice that the window does not waste much space either for the command bar or for the status bar. You have more content space than other browsers. It is a status 'on demand'. 

Not much mess, look and feel are simple and the features are huge. The google philosophy can be seen here again. 

It has its own way of developer friendlyness - An open source browser, so you can have your add ons if you want; A built in VM to run Java Script which forms the major part in todays web pages; inspect feature which is a html viewer to help understand each element you see on the page. There is every thing for everyone. From end user, learner to developer and expert.

Yeah, it sure does not have all the features extensively, like the 'Recently closed tabs' of the mozilla. But possibly ignored due to the simpler interface. Bugs, I've already reported one. You can not sign in to in.com.

Am sure you will have fun using chrome. Download it, explore it.

So what's next revolution on the browsers? We have to wait and see, it may take some time to analyze the new features and understand what is it that is still pending.
