Google has the Midas touch. Its browser in Beta stage, Google Chrome which hit the stands yesterday has taken the geek world by storm, and the company has recorded over a million downloads so far. Several thousand opinions and feedbacks are going across the web already and in a matter of days, it will multiply infinitely.
Chrome is a competitor mainly for Firefox and the company feels strongly in favour of Chrome opening sites much faster and multi-threading various web scripts. In essence, if one of the tabs gets frozen, unlike Firefox, only the tab that is irresponsive can be closed.
Other impressive feature includes a widget that allows you to write emails from your desktop on open web applications such as Gmail without opening the browser.
The Incognito feature beats all other features to dust including some great ones in Firefox. One can browse the web in Incognito Mode and Chrome will ensure that it leaves no traces behind.
Similar to all other products from Google, Chrome has lived up to the expectations of not being a graphical wonder. The browser looks extremely simple but packs a punch. We are going to get a stronger browser as many people jump the bandwagon in the Open Source Sea and start developing widgets (or gears as Google names them) for the latest favourite in town.
If you haven’t downloaded Chrome yet, here’s the link.
