Review : Google Chrome Beta

Google Chrome Beta Reviews




Google Chrome Beta is a new internet browser from Google. It is designed so as to make surfing web faster, easier and safely. It is still in Beta phase, so this is not the final version. Google is always been serious about the web application, this time it is serious about the web browser and it's surfing capabilities too.

Some Cool Features :-
  • Smooth User Interface. Lightweight.
  • Google Search is combined with Web Address Bar.
  • Dynamic Dragging Tabs to create new windows.
  • Inbuilt Task Manager(Shift+Escape).
  • Independent Tabs to facilitate Crash Control.
  • Incognito mode for private browsing (Ctrl+Shift+N).
  • Warns for a suspected phishing, malware or any unsafe website.
  • Import bookmarks from current browser.
  • Faster Java related Applications
  • Download Status Bar
  • Shortcuts like Ctrl+L, Ctrl+K, Ctrl+N etc.

Current Issues :-
  • No IRC Support, No Add-Ins, No Plug-Ins.
  • Available Only for WindowXp and Vista Platform, Not for Linux, Unix etc.
  • Don't Support Bookmarking from Opera.
  • Some Facebook Aplications doesn't work properly.
  • Crashes on some websites in the long run.
  • No RSS support
  • Working with Bookmarks is a bit uneasy
Google have to work a bit more on this product to eliminate Beta version issues and to give it more enhancing capabilities. Personally I love to prefer Google and its products, and I believe its final version will be a good competitor to IE7-8 and Firfox3.

Also remember, it is wise to choose option to send crash reports to Google while installation of Google Chrome, so that Google comes to know about errors and fix them for the final version.

  1. I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
