U-Blog 5
This week I downloaded Google's new browser Chrome. I was hyped because everything that Google has put out to the public has been very useful and innovative. After messing around with Chrome for about 2 hours, I had some impressions on its performance. The first thing I noticed was that it was faster than Firefox for most websites. But when I went to pages that were very Flash oriented, I noticed Chrome would start to bog down and even freeze up. I came across several bugs and reported them to Google. I know it is only a Beta, but I've never had to report any kind of bug for public Firefox Betas. I was sorely disappointed by Google Chrome. Hopefully, Google will take notice of the complaints and reports and use them to bring out a true IE8-killer.

If you're looking for a true IE 8 killer, just take a look at Firefox 3. With its enhanced speed (over IE and FF 2) and it massive database of add-ons, and it's "Awesome Bar" it blows any version of IE out of the water. But about Chrome, I'm right with you on that one. I downloaded it within the first hour that it was released and played with it for a day or two and finally, due to the security issues in the news and the surprisingly high amount of system resources that it took up, I ended up removing it a day or two later. I'd be willing to give it another shot if they fix the glitches and security holes, but I doubt it'll ever replace Firefox, at least for me.
