Google's Open Source Browser: Google Chrome

[narangz]

I've done a small review of Chrome, if anyone's interested:

Just installed chrome.

Things I like about chrome in the five minutes of using it.
- The disappearing status bar.
- The new tabs page which shows recently closed tabs along with the most viewed pages.

- The disappearing status bar.

The only non-copied thing in Chrome that I honestly like.

^^ Err... Forgot Opera? You can setup the progress bar in Opera to Pop up at bottom.

Is it? Sorry, then it is one of the copied that features that I like.

The browser starts very fast, unlike Firefox which takes ages to start on my pc. I also like the fact that you can start a search from the address bar itself.

Then there is also the lovely smooth sliding tabs like in Safari. The animation after download begins is also nice.

Now if only they change the silly blue colour to grey and add an ad-blocker, I'd switch immediately.

Don't dream for any ad blockers ever
Coz if they do so their adsense will become nonsense

Is isn't available for Linux platforms, right?

One also needs RSS reader man.

Note: There is no working Chromium-based browser on Linux. Although many Chromium submodules build under Linux and a few unit tests pass, all that runs is a command-line "all tests pass" executable.

But you can have a look at some submodules though.

here is a update in the same page

As a temporary workaround due to high interest today, try downloading a snapshot of an SVN checkout to bootstrap from. Untar it, then follow the instructions to update from there. You'll end up with the equivalent of what running a full gclient sync does.

it doesn't have adblocking feature.. the only negative point that i can think of currently.. otherwise it launches quickly.. in fact.. i've been using Vista since last 2 days only to use this.. and surprisingly working on Vista is feeling nice (thanx Realtek for an update network driver, no more BSODs)
