I am sure Google would call that 'streamlined', but I call it boring.<BR/><BR/>I find it especially annoying that you really only have a single search option. Sure I can set what the search engine is, but then I'm committed to that engine. <BR/><BR/>In both IE and FF, I can install a search provider for Google, Live, Wikipedia, Amazon, etc and I get a drop-down that allows me to determine on any given search which engine I want to use. <BR/><BR/>In Chrome, I'm stuck with whatever I set as my search engine. Of course, from Google's perspective, why would you ever want to access to a different search engine?<BR/><BR/>Where's my bookmarks list? Do I have to turn on the bar just to get at it? So, let me get this straight... Google creates a browser that simplifies the UI by removing the bookmarks menu. Instead they require me to turn on a toolbar and then click a button to get to my bookmarks? Lame! (The bookmark import seems to have failed miserably, but I'll let that slide since it is beta software.)<BR/><BR/>The ability to create an “application link” is a ‘so what’ in my mind. Just because it’s Gmail or Google Docs or GKitchenSink doesn’t mean I need it in its own top-level window. I am perfectly happy keeping it in the browser as a tab.<BR/><BR/>The zooming functionality isn’t as nice as IE8 or Firefox. They don’t scale the images, so pages start to fall apart sooner on pages with tiled images.<BR/><BR/>The one thing that I’d miss now that I’ve gotten used to it is IE’s ‘Quick Tabs’ pane with thumbnails of all of the open tabs. Google would probably classify that as ‘bloat’ but I like it.<BR/><BR/>In IE, you decide when you type a password if you want it saved by checking a checkbox on the username/password dialog. The other two have you decide after-the-fact by showing the info pane at the top of the page (ala IE). That’s a bit lame. All three browsers open the username/password dialog even if they’ve saved the information. Why is that? Do they really need me to click an OK button before retrieving a secured page?<BR/><BR/>Chrome seems to have forgotten the cancel button on their Options dialog. That’s really lame. I thought cancel-less option dialogs had gone out with Motif.<BR/><BR/>In all, most of the significant stuff that Chrome offers is available in IE8 beta2 (that's why they rushed out a beta of their own.) InCognito browsing, separate processes to prevent crashes... IE8 did it first.<BR/><BR/>The ONE thing that Chrome does better is it is faster That one I've give them.drhenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886783696974833376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374220983535429502.post-9730182193366878522008-09-03T01:45:00.000-07:002008-09-03T01:45:00.000-07:00Great article Samiq, we linked to it from http://GetGoogleChrome.comGetGoogleChromehttp://getgooglechrome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374220983535429502.post-84763884048926567762008-09-02T23:56:00.001-07:002008-09-02T23:56:00.001-07:00(last post) as a replace of IE and Firefoxterencehttp://www.shinedraw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374220983535429502.post-32088324134207954972008-09-02T23:56:00.000-07:002008-09-02T23:56:00.000-07:00Yes, Chome is very fast. I really want to use it as a replace as Chomoe. However, I am now writing blog about Silvelight and Flash. <BR/><BR/>As what you have said, the Silverlight can't run properly in Chome. I think I have wait until there is a fix.Terencehttp://www.shinedraw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374220983535429502.post-21515956294327454682008-09-02T14:49:00.000-07:002008-09-02T14:49:00.000-07:00This new browser have a lot to scare FF and IE, is really lightweight an easy to use. Just waiting to see its code soon and see the magic behind it. I hope we can add add-ons as in FF (missing TwitterFox.... or TwitterChrome?) and other cool plug-ins the community has made for other browsers.
