Google Chrome
Google announced the release of their open source browser, Chrome. I came across this at MarketPlace via this link.
Being the one that likes trying out new things I quickly downloaded and installed it. Installation is painless as I would expect. After everything I’ve read about the browser I was expecting to be wowed…I haven’t been wowed. I don’t see myself moving away from Firefox anytime soon. It’s still too early to call this thing a dud, but it continues my lack of interest in the tools Google offers, besides the search of course.
I know I’m in the minority when I say Google’s offerings are pretty much crap, but I think way too many people eat up this stuff just because it’s from Google. But…anyway, I will continue playing with it trying to keep an open mind.
I invite you to share your thoughts on the new browser. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, go here: link.
sidenote: This update was made using Chrome.

Totally agreed UNTIL I read this http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
Completely agree it is nothing to wow on the surface.. yet. It’s what they are doing behind-the-scenes that is pretty groundbreaking. Definitely a new approach and one that should make more apps look at different approaches. Specifically multi-process vs. multi-threaded. BIG change.

The idea behind Chrome is an awesome one. I think the execution so far is weak. It reminds me a lot of Cuill coming out and saying they are better than Google and falling flat on their face. Google should have announced this after having more add-on available.
