First Thoughts On Google Chrome

So Google Chrome is finally out, and I got to tell you, it is one heck of a browser, if you are into simplicity and the looks. Google Chrome has got to be the most attractive Web Browser there is out there. So it is safe to say that Google has followed Apple’s ways of providing us the ultimate eye-candy.

So what’s to like about Google Chrome? First of all, I like the fact that everytime you open the browser, it shows you your favorite sites in no nonsense way. Every time you open a new tab, you’ll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages and tabs, which I think is very handy, at least if you are a heavy delicious user.
Google Chrome is married with Google gadgets, so you can create shortcuts to your favorite web applications without having to access the web, which again is a big plus. One thing that I find very interesting about Chrome is the ability to drag out tabs. I can’t do that with Flock so maybe Flock 4.0 will come with that feature.
Google has paid extra attention to browsing securely as you can browse privately (in stealth mode) or in lockdown mode (where you are protected against phishing sites). The downloads are less intrusive too, which is again a big plus.
I like the lightweight Chrome browser. It seems to be very well designed and intuitive. It took me about 5 minutes to pick up most of the features and fall in love with it. The only downside to it is that it does not have the social features of flock but it never claims to be aiming for that market anyway. Very impressed with Chrome so far.
P.S. Download Chrome here. And don’t forget to share your thoughts on it!
