Google Chrome hits another home run

Seriously, the new bookmark sync feature is awesome. I've never been happier to have sold my soul to Google.

History in the making...

Holy crap. Andrew just introduced me to one of Google Chrome's greatest and most powerful features. I had no idea about this feature until moments ago, and I think its quite noteworthy.

Chrome has a hotkey to re-open closed tabs. That's right. Ever close a tab and wish you hadn't? I sure have. Ctrl+shift+T, my friend. Oops, you closed 3/5 tabs and you wanted all of them open?! No sweat! Just hold ctrl+shift and tap T 3 times... No worries!

Seriously, this is a powerful little trick that might save your ass some day.

And you thought that tab was history...

It's so shiny....

Ok, so I've talked to you about Chrome before, but now, I think is the time to make the switch... and that's a lot sooner than I expected. There are few things to complain about, and I can't think of any off the top of my head. I recommend you take the plunge into the most amazing web browsing experience you've ever had.

PS - It's out of Beta.

Firefox vs Chrome

Ok, so after extensive use of Chrome over the past week, I've decided that, although I love Chrome, it's not quite ready for use.

That is unless you're OK with never going to pages that show YouTube videos... Yeah... last I checked, Google owned YouTube, but Chrome doesn't seem to like the YouTube player... or any Flash based players for that matter. And heaven forbid you try to access a page with several YouTube videos on it. MySpace pages bring Chrome to a screeching halt!

The good news is that this is the first release, and I'm sure that the Google Team is working out the kinks. I'm looking forward to the next release, but until then, I'm going to stick with Firefox... Man, Firefox feels bulky now....

Firefox Forever?

Ok, so I'm a huge Firefox fan. In the beginning, it was hard to convince me that Firefox was a good idea. This was because I know well that the majority of folks out there are using IE. As a web developer, I see the importance of making sure the majority of people are able to view my content properly. Well, one day, someone tried to convince me to get Firefox and I figured, what the hell, it couldn't hurt. Well, I was hooked. I've got several favorite extensions and I love tabbed browsing. Well, the newer versions of IE have most of those things... but I'm still a big fan of Firefox. I mean, come on, it's won so much of the market share, there has to be a reason. It's just better on so many levels.

Today, I'm here to tell you that Firefox is no longer my default browser. I know. I'm shocked too.

As all of you loyal readers know, I'm a Google fan-boy. I am to Google as this guy is to Mac. I use Google to stay in touch with the world and keep myself organized.

Still, when I read that Google had come out with its own browser, I was skeptical. Why would Google develop a browser when there was already an amazing powerhouse (Firefox) available.

Well, skepticism aside, I was curious... I downloaded my copy of Chrome minutes after reading about it. And the fact that it took me MINUTES says something... (I downloaded every other Google application that I've ever used within seconds)

So, what's the result?

Fast. It's so fast. I didn't know the internet could move so fast!
And as for my extensions I have to download and install and configure on every computer I use with Firefox... Those features are standard. And they work well...

This is just the first release, and it's already holding its own against Firefox... I'm excited to see what the future holds for this exciting new browser.

GET IT!
