Google new web browser: Chrome



Okey , you might think I am a Google fan or something , due to the services I use from Google , and you can consider this post as a proof !

But why I am a Google fan ? Simply because It is making my eLife better & better , and this why I wrote this introduction , because if you saw this video “The story behind Google Chrome” you will hear from the developers of Chrome that they are trying to make the web better , and after giving it a try for 30 minutes , it is .

The first thing you will fell is how fast the browser is , as a common feature of most of Google products , then again you will notice an other thing , I mean the same thing ~ HOW FAST IT IS !

I will not go through other features , because a lot of bloggers reviewed the main features , and video reviews are all over the web but I will mention the improved things over other browsers ( features ) ,which no body noticed yet , like my past experiement of Windows Vista , I noticed a lot of small improvments here & there , which made my life easier ( like if you choosed to show file extensions ~a notepad file named “myList” will be “myList.txt” you will notice previouslly in Windows XP if you tried to rename that file , Windows will highlight the whole file name with it’s extension , and rarly someone needs to chgange the extension , but in Windows Vista it will highlight the name only without the extension , I know it is a tiny thing , but Vista is loaded with stuff like that and Chrome as well )

For example :
In Firefox a lot of people uses password manager to save their time & mind from going crazy if they have a chain of passwords , but the thing is , in Firefox if there is some login form , after you click the submit button , it will ask you if want to remember your password , neitherless your entered the correct password or not , which will confuse a lot of people , they will think ” ok I want to remember the password if it is correct , but I am not sure if it is ” ( I was one of them , but I am not using the feature anymore due to security issue , take care of that seriously )

Other noticable thing is the Flash Player plugin , I don’t know how exactlly this is working , but if you logged on to youtube , Glad Mobile or any website use flash it will work directlly without downloading any plugin !!! I am not sure if it will take the source from Firefox or will download the plugin in the background , I have to test that on a fresh windows .

 

Information for web developers :
We are all waiting to start test our pages on the new browser , how it will be rendered ? but here are the good news !!! if you was a good web developer , and you was testing your webpage on Safari and it was looking good , then go and celebrate because if your page rendered well on Safari 3.1 then your site should already work well on Google Chrome , because it is built from open source components like WebKit which the same engine used to build Safari.

The funny thing that if you checked the browser stabllity from here ( open it using Chrome ) it will identify your browser as Safari :
Current Browser Version:AppleMAC-Safari 5.0 
After seeing it I felt like Google brought Safari , and nulled it to be more faster !

I will be using both Firefox & Chrome , as my most important add-ons are on Firefox , as well as the community is waiting this add-ons to be available to Chrome , then I think a lot of people will shift to Chrome , so tell me , will you ?
