Another browser, another pain in the arse

Oh no, not another one.  I'm a web developer and working with different browsers is painful.  Developers need a hug na talaga.

Anyway, Chrome is a new internet browser created by Google.  Things I like with this browser are:

  • display window is bigger
  • clean UI
  • you can close a single tab if it goes slow
  • combined address and search bar (just type a url or a search engine keyword)
  • task manager (open this to close frozen tab)
  • incognito window (any activities done in this window will not be saved in your history, cache, cookies)

Things I don't like:

  • your saved passwords are not secured.  you can't specify a master password.
  • it can't render some favicons properly
  • no plugins
  • MS Windows only

Although you don't have to test your website with Chrome if you've already tested it on Safari because they are both based on WebKit, problem is, I don't do this because generally, only 1 to 2% of the market is using it.  So why bother?  (Sorry Safari users.  Fish tayo.)  If chrome gets big, then I don't have a choice.

Download Google Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome
