Playing With Chrome

I can’t remember the last time I looked at web pages (my own included) with ads. They sure do clutter the joint up, don’t they?

Is everybody doing it? I’ve downloaded and am now playing with Chrome, the new web browser from Google.

I don’t know why but the type looks cleaner. I haven’t seen anyone else comment on that. I must have the fonts set to the ‘suck’ level on Firefox. It’s only clean by comparison.

This browser doesn’t have Ad Blocker. I can’t remember the last time I looked at web pages (my own included) with ads. They sure do clutter the joint up, don’t they?

I miss my little helper plug-ins from Firefox.

Chrome has promise,but not yet. It’s back to Firefox for the time being.

One thought on “Playing With Chrome”

  1. You’re right – it’s almost there, but not bad for a beta. I’m just a little bummed that it renders and displays some elements differently than either IE or Firefox.

    There are nice features built in, such as the right click menu options which include an element inspector. The default homepage with the tile links of the most visited sites is interesting too.

    On the one hand, I hope this browser gets more market share from IE, but I don’t relish the idea of having another browser that my web designs need to be compatible with.
