Google Chrome Thoughts

I’ve been using Google Chrome since Wednesday, and it’s been a pretty good experience.
The User Interface is aesthetically pleasing, I was unsure how I would adapt to the tabs being in place of the title bar but the change has been surprisingly seamless. I can see this browser being my default browser, but for the moment it’s missing a few key features that I liked within Firefox, Features which I didn’t realise I relied on so much.
- View Selection Source
- Fullscreen Browser Mode
- Speed Dial - yes, Chrome has a speed dial but I liked being able to choose whats on it like I can in Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
These are not deal breakers, I can certainly live without them and until recently actually did. Google’s Chrome is most undoubtedly better then even the latest beta of the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and generally on par with the others. It would be nice to be able to extend the browser but that’s not something which I require. It does fall short in a few areas, but makes up for them in others. So yeah, it works and it works well.
If your still using Internet Explorer upgrade, if not you won’t have much reason to upgrade or switch rather but it’s still worth a look. It’s great to have more competition within the browser market.

Reckon I should make the switch when I get back?
