Blogging from Chrome
I’m blogging from Chrome. Chrome the new Google browser. It’s great to try something new and I’m enjoying how intuitive it is so far!
Incognito is one the excellent additions to Chrome, and similar to functions unveiled in IE 8. Here’s a screenshot of the incognito screen for Chrome the first time you open it (got to love the little man in the coat and hat at the top).
Also really like that when you type a search term into the “omnibox” it does the search right there and then thereby skipping the previous ‘go-to-the-search-page-with-its-answers’ step (can’t you tell I’m so up with the all the jargon on this :P). But seriously, a very useful tool. I just typed Amnesty International in, because I’m useless at remembering that their address is www.amnesty.org, and the omnibox offered me a selection of 5 or 6 top possibilities and of course got it in one so I went straight there. Brilliant Google!
No problems so far, has coped with everything I’ve thrown at it (multiple windows in icognito and not, as well as multiple tabs). Quite impressed really :o)
The home screen, made up of 9 of your most popularly visited pages, is absolutely brilliant and well thought out. I also like having a lot more actual page on my screen, the minimising of buttons and boxes within the browser is a Godsend. Have found a few bugs with some websites and there’s also no way of getting an RSS feed in the browser but so far so good. Chrome help group is up and running with loads of comments.
