http://www.google.com/chrome. Using Google Chrome will definitely take some getting used to. With Firefox, the tabs are all placed below the address bar. In Chrome, they are all above it. This means extra travel time with your mouse. Chrome does away with most menus and toolbar icons to give maximum screen space for the Web pages themselves. Also, Google has merged the address bar, where you type in Web addresses, with the search box, where you type in search terms. This unified feature is called the Omnibox. One striking difference in Google Chrome is how it handles tabs, which display a single Web page. In Chrome, each tab behaves as a separate browser. The bookmarks bar, Omnibox, menus and toolbar icons are located inside the tab, rather than atop the entire browser. The tabs appear at the top of the computer screen. Chrome also groups related tabs.”
Flash works just fine so far. No need to reinstall flash. Friend has problems with displaying flash on adobe’s site. He has just slightly older version of flash. Works fine for me. Also I heard from someone that gmail attach file wasn’t working, though that also works fine for me. Task Manager is cool: showing plugins and each tab network use, cpu and memory. I LOVE the network use, wasn’t expecting that.
Type in about:memory in the browser for very detailed report on memory use and more. cool. When hovering over link it shows the full url for that link in lower left corner above site content instead of having status bar. Is there no status bar now ? hmm. Feels like beta. I went to adobe pages, got redirected oddly. Sometimes all tabs stop responding for few seconds. Gonna watch task manager for a bit to see whats up. You still gotta try and download google chrome.
My favorite activity so far was to “go incognito”. When you launch a new incognito windows, you get this message: “Pages you view in this window won’t appear in your browser history or search history, and they won’t leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito windows. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.” Interesting. It includes some warnings, including one that says to beware of “people standing behind you.” The incognito browser window has different coloration than the regular window, and has a picture of a be-hatted and be-jacketed G-man character. Nice touch. Also, when a tab crashes you’ll get a sad face icon in the tab - called a ’sad tab’.
Downloading files is kinda cool. Big arrow points to bottom of page where download status is at. Much better then a pop up window, but maybe not obvious enough for some folks ? Not finding sites that have issues. I want to confirm that if a site has issue in displaying that same issue happens in safari. Anyone with sites as examples please comment.
