Trying Google Chrome

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Chrome seems like a nice browser and almost ready for prime time. It’s probably as stable as Safari was 6 months ago.
It’s not yet as pretty as Safari – the tabs interface in particular is not too well thought out. I often have 30-40 tabs open in Safari and it gets really weird with Chrome – every tab just gets a little smaller across the top of the window and really tough to see.
The other thing I miss is my flash blocking which with Safari works like a charm – flash doesn’t exist but you can easily click to watch a you tube video or some such – Chrome just has all the flash nastiness of the web all exposed.
I’m not ready to jump yet – I think Safari with process isolation would be just as good as chrome so I”m not sure what I’d be getting.
