As for the Mac question, I thought I would stir the pot a little to get the ball rolling on Jacob's site and see where it goes! :) Sachendra, Ah! I see what you mean. Yeah, Google seems to be closing in on the huge OS market...interesting to see what will happen in the future. Andrew, I agree.

Sachendra,

Ah! I see what you mean. Yeah, Google seems to be closing in on the huge OS market…interesting to see what will happen in the future.

The point I was making was it’s not just another browser, it’s targeting the OS.

Google Chrome has faster JavaScript VM, better memory management, better Windows UI rendering, faster text layout and rendering, and intelligent page navigation in comparison to other more widely adopted browsers.

For instance, the most important aspects of FF for me is the FireBug Pluggin and the Alexa toolbar. If Google can replicate the functions of these plugins, I may install use it on my PC...but wait a while for a release for my Macs. And Brian, given you comments on Jacobs latest post...I'll stay away from the Mac issue ;) <em>Andrew Kelsall's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AndrewKelsall/~3/380712158/' rel="nofollow">How I customized my Wordpress Blog #3</a></em> Like Randa, I’ll still use FireFox even if Chrome turns out to be a superior browser.

I don't understand your point, sorry. Thanks for the visit though. Craig, I need to play with it a bit more to really get comfortable with using it more than FF3. This morning, just out of routine, I didn't open up Chrome. That little logo however is calling me now so I may have to work in Chrome for the rest of the day and see how I feel! Thanks for the comment. Media, It is very similar to FF, but does seem to have a few added benefits. As Randa says above, extending Chrome will be important to our community. Randa, Thanks for your comment Randa. I read your post also when I got back into the office. I was on the road all afternoon so I only got to watch the first few minutes of the press release video. Very thankful that they didn't create their own rendering engine, especially with regard to the nightmare gmail/css for emails! Sachendra Yadav,

Craig,

I need to play with it a bit more to really get comfortable with using it more than FF3. This morning, just out of routine, I didn’t open up Chrome. That little logo however is calling me now so I may have to work in Chrome for the rest of the day and see how I feel! Thanks for the comment.

Randa,

Thanks for your comment Randa. I read your post also when I got back into the office. I was on the road all afternoon so I only got to watch the first few minutes of the press release video. Very thankful that they didn’t create their own rendering engine, especially with regard to the nightmare gmail/css for emails!

However, after nearly a day of using it, I think it's great. Faster and fewer crashes make it my first choice at this point for just browsing around. I'm keeping Firefox open for the plugins though. I'm wondering how long it will be before we see some extensions for Chrome. That will be the key to popularity among designers. <em>Randa Clay's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandaClayDesign/~3/381644958/' rel="nofollow">Trying out Google Chrome</a></em> I had the same reaction as you- frustrated sigh… another browser… However, after nearly a day of using it, I think it’s great.

After checking a few of my websites on it, it looks fine because of the webkit, which is definately a right step, I love the tabbing system of it, and the general speed of the browser is really impressive. So far so good, but back to giving it another play. <em>Craig Farrall's last blog post..<a href='http://blog.cfdesignz.co.uk/august-roundup/' rel="nofollow">August Roundup</a></em> I installed Google Chrome today, and I have been playing around with it all morning, and I have the same impression as you, that this browser is pretty impressive.
