Google Chrome Reviews?

Can't wait for the next beta!

 

well, it's the first that handles each page you look at individually. this is both from a security and performance and stability an awesome feature. each tab lives on it's own (you can kill individual ones in the windows task manager if you want to, hehe ), and thus each new tab is as if you just started the browser first time: it does not slow down. it does not eat up memory over time.

it is a browser that uses the os' default features to create scalability, reliance, stability, etc: use of multiple individual processes.

this is a BIG feature. everyone (espencially in corp. land) knows how bad it can be for ie or firefox to crash, while you had some tabs open with important work you did.

all browsers nowadays are like win98 in their technology. each tab can affect the whole system. and it starts to crawl after a while.

this is the first one like nt (or up-to-like vista, doesn't matter).

this is a BIG innovation i waited for since long (since the days where tabs didn't exist and i had to use tons of individual windows. back then, i had those same stability/performance etc features.. but web and pc where so slow then, besides stability, it didn't matter)

 

I disagree. The way the tabs are rearranged and handled is clever. In fact it makes so much sense to me that I would like to see other browsers adopt this approach. The handling of tabs as separate processes is also very slick. It doesn't look hugely earth shattering or feel foreign, which is really just indicative of good design in my opinion. They've managed to redo how a browser works without requiring the user to relearn how to use a browser.

 

I agree to disagree
Google figuring out the thin line between redoing a browser that didn't require extra learning was genius.

 

Exactly.
The search within a site feature is awesome. It saves time if I'm searching for the same thing on ebay, amazon, etc.

 

If you did a word search on a page, for instance this forum thread, the scroll bar on the right shows little lines which indicate where to click to jump to that word on the page. I liked that one a lot as well.

 

But still a single process crash can eventually crash the whole system.

 

For example, type about:% in the address bar.

 

The omni-box essentially replaces a search bar. I merely have to type "go" and press tab to get it to function as a google search bar for me. I suppose if that's not quick enough for you, a dedicated search bar would be required. I can do similar things to search on eBay, Amazon, Wikipedia, and all the other sites I use with search functions.

 

I've not tried it much yet but I've liked how in Firefox you can set search keywords to automatically search sites after you've saved the site's search bars. I can just type "Amazon xxx" in to the Firefox address bar and it will search Amazon for xxx.

 

yahhh... your correct. I didn't check that out. But learned after a few hours.
anyway, thanks for clearing that.

The Most Useful feature of Google Chrome for me:
Tabs will be open as separate process
