Google Chrome

September 2, 2008 | Technology

I have to admit that I’m a bit of a Google fanboy.

I use Google search religiously.

iGoogle is my home page.

Gmail is my email preference by far.

Google Reader is my favoured RSS feed reader.

Imagine my delight when I found they were finally releasing a browser. Would I finally be saying goodbye to Firefox?

Well, the Beta version of Google Chrome is finally released, and I must say that it’s ’so far so good’.

Scrolling up and down pages seems a little too quick for my liking, but apart from that it loads everything without issue, and super speedy too.

I’ve had to add a few tweaks to get a few things back to how I’m used to…and it’s taking time to get used to tabs on the top of the browser rather than as part of the primary window.

Nice, so far. I think it will be a keeper.

They could do with an ‘undo close tab’ feature though.

I’ve d/led it but I’ve yet to really use it. I think I’d miss all my extensions though.

Yes, it will be much better once the plugins start to flow.

I’m curious, but of course don’t have the option yet. If there are plugins out by the time they do a Mac release, I’d certainly be tempted to give it a try.
