I'm trying it out and so far it's pretty fast. The design is very nice. It seems as if I have lots more space. No trouble yet, but after only a day that doesn't say much. I really like it already though. Mmm.. I’m trying it out and so far it’s pretty fast. The design is very nice. It seems as if I have lots more space.

I don't think Google knows how to do Desktop apps, can they be trusted. We'll see. 3) Install had a major blunder. It doesn't let me install it where I want to. I usually throw stuff away if it does that, but I'll make an exception. 4) Seems to grab a lot of settings and even accepts a non Google search engine for that search bar (which I don't use anyway). Not bad. 5) Quick browse to four or five sites that I know are made up of decent well checked XHTML. Seems to work with them all, and it's snappy. Has a pre-fetch. This is impressive. 6) Go to one site with valid markup but whose design is (in my view) a bit odd. Seems to work well. 7) Did I mention it's snappy! Overall worth a look. Quick thoughts:

IE7 doesn't even work with that site, it would crash every time I visited and then Firefox 3 crashed as IE messed up Windows Explorer, but yet Chrome survived. So in short, Chrome loaded and ran JavaScript in 1/3rd the time of Firefox 3. To give people a taste of Chrome and how much better it is at JavaScript:

Try going to http://dromaeo.com/

Chrome total score: 1147.40ms

Firefox 3: 3089.80ms

Opera: 2839.00ms

IE7: Crashes

Chrome was almost 2000ms faster than Firefox 3 and was almost 1700ms faster than Opera. IE7 doesn’t even work with that site, it would crash every time I visited and then Firefox 3 crashed as IE messed up Windows Explorer, but yet Chrome survived.

If it catches on great, if not then they will sunset it. Or maybe its just to annoy and frustrate microsoft (Android is another example of this for me). What must the folks at FireFox think though? I would not be impressed if I were them. For me google have already shown that they lack any innovation (unlike say apple...but like MS funnily enough). Almost all their decent products were bought (except gmail right?) and now they are just re-writing it all in gears. And their motto is "Do no Evil?"....no how about this..."Do?, No!, Evil!!" :) To me this is yet another example of Google throwing an application together and then throwing it out there to see what happens.

This is the browser (or at least a close approximation) of the browser that is going to be available for Android. They need users/developers to get familiar with it. Their emphasis on improving JavaScript support and speed should make Adobe rather than Microsoft nervous. We could now have another widely deployed mobile platform with excellent JavaScript making mobile flash a non issue. Point of this browser is the same as Apple’s Safari for Windows.
