Google Chrome - first impressions and the crash

Hi Guys

You've all have heard about the google Chrome.
First impression was that it doens't really have anything that special. Maybe only a slightly impression it's a bit faster, but still lacks the normal google bar, that I use quite a bit on firefox, and maybe easier ways to get googles apps integrated. Google's notebook, for example, I don't think there is any way to install it yet.

• Addons

I quite use a couple of addons for firefox. Dictionary tip, for example, that I can use inside a browser, would be something Google could add easily to the Chrome. Add-block is another one that hsould be integrated somehow. I don't know if the strategy of google will be to not allow developers to create their own plugins to not risk security and reliability. Most of memory leaks with firefox are due to bad-behaving plugins.

• Crash

Suddenly, when I was messing with the task manager (which is quite interesting by the way), the whole Chrome crashed.



Google's advertisement: "Every tab you're using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won't take anything else down."

Not quite....

Today I tried to use chrome all night at home. I faced then, the tab crash. Just note the app that made the tab crash. Exactly, gmail. 

• Summary
  

Positives points: task manager (try the "stats for nerds view"), the thumbnails view, the element inspector for developers, the history, among others.
Negative points: no integration with google toolbar and add-ons (no yet at least), seems like lacking something... And also, of course the fact that it crashed in the first run.

See ya next time and good browsing
