As Google launched its browser, Google Chrome, I downloaded the tool and had a first hands-on experience with this tool. Below is what I examined to be the advantages and disadvantages of this over IE and firefox.
Advantages
- New and simpler looks. On startup it just has the address bar and few icons to start with. You can even drag tabs to rearrange them or move it to a new window.
- Fast browsing. Typically very useful for watching videos.
- You can reate a desktop icon for web applications.
- A site crash on one tab will not cause the browser to crash. This is because google chrome is multi-threaded process. Each tab is a separate thread with its own memory space.
- A privacy feature called 'incognito', which will tell the browser not to log anything. So when the browser is in incognito mode it will not set any cookies also.
- When you open a new tab, the default is to show you thumbnails of your most visited websites.
Disadvantages
- Missing status bar. Although chrome claims to be of high speed, there are slow sites where status bar helps you know that something is being done by the browser.
- Missing the search bar. The address bar does both the things for you. Although it is a new approach and could be very helpful once you become used to it but could be annoying sometimes.
- Missing feature to deal with RSS feeds, which is very popular nowadays.
Although its looks and innovative idea of handling each tab as a separate process are very exciting but it lacks the third-party add-ons right now, which are all build up for Firefox and IE.
