Checking out Chrome

Sep, 2008 (2008-09-13 19:41)

I downloaded Google Chrome today and tried it out.  All I can say is wwwOwww. Fast. Fast. Fast.  

Everything about it was fluid and quick, down to the scrollbars, which move like liquid lightning.

And easy to use.  Simple and clean; exactly what a browser should be. And it’s compatible with every page I tried, including standard js libraries and advanced banking apps.

The only things missing, imo are:

  • DOM inspector — found the dom inspector; it works like safari, have to highlight something on page and right click to ‘inspect’ it
  • Keyboard shortcut for bookmarks — for mouse haters like me, this is a necessity. It’s way to slow to go clicky through menus when you view a couple hundred web pages a day (that translates to over an hour of clicking). I can type alt+b,c,d,1 lightning fast to open a login to my favorite app
  • Greasemonkey — greasemonkey is essential for serious web users, it allows me to tweak nearly any page to my needs
