Google Chrome- 3 months

I have been using Google Chrome web browser about three months now. I split my time between Chrome and Firefox almost equaly. Firefox still has more tools and add-ins, so I go there when I need specfic functions. Generally speaking either browser works well. Google Chrome has a better feel though. I am nto sure why, but when I jump back into Firefox it feels dated. I know I can change the look and feel with themes (a nice plus) but most users won’t do that.

I have yet run into many sites that do not work with Chrome. Or if I have they are so few and far between it is minimal impact. I do know some sites still do the “Browser check” and say you need IE 5 or better or Firefox, but those sites are slowly catching on that if they keep to web standards that check is becoming less important. I am not a web designer so I cannot say whether the recoding is cumbersome, but I would think not. Day to day, Chrome works well. Well enough I could comfortably recommend someone give it a try.

Google Chrome- Part Two

Onward with my exploration of Google Chrome. I haven’t had any problems running Chrome in my day to day. Have I heard of problems? Yes, in fact there have been a couple of security related items that have surfaced . Will I hold that against Chrome- no.
