Another new browser - Google ChromeTags: Software Internet

Themajority of Windows computer users use Microsoft Internet Explorer to browsethe web.  Most people should be updated to IE7 by now, but I stillsee a lot of IE6 out there unfortunately.  Mozilla Firefox is thenext most popular browser but still doesn't make much of a dent since IEcomes included with Windows.  Typically people using Firefox are moretech-savvy.  As for me, I've been using Firefox lately simply becauseIE7 sort of broke and I never got around to fixing it.

But now there's yet another choice -GoogleChrome.  Well there are otherchoices besides that, too, but given that this is GOOGLE I think there'sa better chance that this will rocket up to 3rd place pretty quickly.  Choiceis good, but do we REALLY need another browser?  Probably not, althoughit does have some interesting features, including my favorite - being ableto pull tabs out into a fresh window (or even bring them over to anotheralready open window.)  It's painless to check out, although I'm notsure that it really is all that necessary at the moment and it does nothave any of the extensions that Firefox has.Posted by Bill Greenberg On 09/04/2008| Digg This | Permalink

Comments 1 - While I haven't tried Chrome yet, I likely will. The reports are that it's a better, faster exprience when you run web apps. I'm on the board of The Discovery Museums (Acton, MA) and we're about to go live with Kablink, a cool, open source web collaboration app. Bet it's better with Chrome.Posted by Tom Witkin At 03:10:34 PM On 09/13/2008 |- Website - |
